Listening to the strokes changes walking home alone at night from a scary bad experience to a cool one

And you just can't ever understand that

Well hold on the strokes make good music

“The tryout lasted ten days,” says Steve Ralbovsky, The Strokes’ A&R man. “They worked on Meet Me In The Bathroom and one or two other songs. It was so hard going method-wise for Nigel. He wanted to record a certain way and Julian wanted to record a certain way.”

The two apparently butted heads over issues as incremental as hi-hat sounds, it’s said in the book.

“Poor Nigel Godrich was in a state,” continues Ralbovsky. “He didn’t want to let anyone down, but he felt like, ‘Maybe they’re not ready, maybe I’m not the right guy for it’… They just weren’t ready. They had to it themselves.”

You wouldn’t get it

i prefer my bands to emit virgin vibes and strokes just isnt that

Later in the strokes discography I can see these sessions making a bit more sense

I agree but I mean vibes wise

Their vibes are completely different Nigel working with them during their garage era just doesn’t make sense lmao

Complete rt

he did the bends if thats anything

30th anniversary of that album today btw

It's a different vibe

Not the same at all

you right

you right

2020 strokes woulda maybe made magic with him tho

heard 3 secs of that synth and went “yup”

nigels album with paul mccartney is really nice tho

Strokes were looking to make music like this for the 2000s

Not Radiohead nerdy alt rock music

I think Julian is a super underrated vocalist

his voice or the way he gets them processed just do not do it for me sadly

its weird that i just cant get into them but yeah

although i made a strokes type instrumental last year

I guess I can settle for you tolerating beach house

Did you listen to the new abnormal?

I have to say I miss rock music being "cool" and not just as a Y2K nostalgia thing or a corny dad thing

ive heard every album but angles I think
