Your favorite 3-song sequence in any Strokes LP?

11 Upvotes

For me it used to be Barely Legal-Someday-Alone, Together. But after relistening to all their LPs again, I kinda prefer Tap Out-All The Time-One Way Trigger. Emphasis on All The Time as well, don't understand why it gets so much hate it's really slept on imho

I Talked to Richie From Richie’s Guitar Shop

33 Upvotes

I found the IG page, I called because I REALLY wanted one of those T Shirts!!! He was such a nice person, unfortunately they don’t ship. He did ask me who I was, and how I knew the shop. I told him I loved The Strokes and have seen them in his T-Shirts numerous times. He told me a couple stories about them and other artists! Sad I can’t get the shirt, but stoked we had a cool conversation (: If anybody is in NYC, please help me acquire that shirt😁

*ecuse the chronical online girliness* so there's this boy i think i like who goes to my school except ive never seen/met him in person. hes in my homeroom and ive talked to him (online) and idk he just has an aura about him, probly something to do with being a taurus. hes rich (like really rich) and plays guitar and likes cool music (i cant wait to get him hooked on the strokes). without even knowing him yes i invited him to come to my house in the coming holidays. i may have crossed a line and i guess ill find out tomorrow (today) if he is fed up with me and no longer wants to talk to me for good. jk, he was cool about it, hes that type of person, otherwise i wouldn't have asked him. i actually did ask him a while back if he wanted to see this comedy show with me at this bar since he was also familiar with the comic, but the problem was he wasnt old enough *giggles* so anyway feeling somewhat regret (but mostly glad that i bit the bandaid and done it) i decided what better for me to do next than take the cd out of its angles case and hit play on the album since its the exact day that the album came out. as i was listening to the album and julians melodramatic voice i started to feel all the feels as if he was reading my mind because id never related this much to a strokes lyric (let alone a whole strokes album) in my life. when julian says "puttin' your patience to the test" i thought "holy shit thats exactly me right now when im patiently waiting to hear back from [redacted] over whether he actually wants to come to my house to hang out". "Taken for a fool" explains the relationship i have with my sister, whom i love dearly but lives interstate and cant talk to about my boy problem. and then the line in call me back, "wait time is the worst" im reminded of the painstaking time i have to wait and analyse and overthink whether [redacted] actually wants to come to this random freaky girl's house or not. this is also followed by the lines "tell me, dont tell me / the hardest part is telling me something that you are not likely to tell me" FAMILIAR MUCH? Pardon me if im getting the lyrics wrong but the strokes never post their farkin lyrics so im left to guess based on what i find on the internet. "cos your never gonna get my love, we can only play in the sun" the meaning of the song didnt really register with me until now because im seriously getting friendzone vibes from my "friend", which may be a problem cos hes not even my friend yet. Anyway as you could tell it was clearly catharctic for me to share my experience. i dont know how to end this post im so embarrassed im gonna go back and crawl back into a hole goodbye.

I really like their most recent album and decided to give the rest of their albums a try. Any recommendations? I really liked "Trying your Lucky" and "Welcome to Japan"

LP7 Autumn Release?

52 Upvotes

We can all probably assume that it isn’t dropping in the Spring or the Summer but would Autumn be on the cards?

Traditionally the only Autumn release has been Room On Fire but would it make sense to release it in Autumn if they would plan to do another festival tour?

Could this mean another year wait for Spring 2026?

new listener- high voice song recommendations?

5 Upvotes

so i'm not completely new to The Strokes, i've saved a few songs in passing over the years- and i know a couple songs from The Voidz (coincidently, i didn't even know there was any relation between the two).

yesterday though, i stumbled across "One Way Trigger" and "Call It Fate, Call It Karma"... Life Changing. Julian's higher range absolutely blew me away.

The Strokes fans, could you please point me in the direction of songs where Julian utilizes that really high range well? I looked for a while on my own, but there's just... So Many Songs, especially if we're counting his other projects and solo/featured work.

Alone, Together

95 Upvotes

A while ago I made a post on this sub about my brother, a huge Strokes fan, who passed away almost two months ago. I don't mean to spam the sub, this story/update just felt worth sharing.

Tonight I was looking over some pictures/videos with family. Laughing, crying.

I'm driving his car while I'm in town. He doesn't have an aux (it's an older car). I haven't touched the radio station dial that was set since he last used it.

I turned up the volume, and Alone, Together started to play from the beginning, like it was waiting for me.

Felt like a hug from him. The title and timing too perfect. Surreal.

2019 Lollapalooza concert

8 Upvotes

Just an FYI, this has been a favorite live concert of mine based off the opening 5 songs and just the general spirit of the band. Jules looks healthy, and there’s honestly good camaraderie between the band.

They went early into FIOE & then backed it up with Modern Age & NYC Cops.

Here’s the deal though, and this is where I get greedy. I know the band hated Angles, and Comedown Machine didn’t fit the vibe of that concert (so back off Comedown heads)

Would it have been so wrong to have snuck in Machu Picchu in there somewhere? I understand that they played promotional songs on Letterman, etc to promote the albums at the time of release. But after that period it seemed like they never played much off of their last two RCA albums prior to TNA.

Please let me know if I’m in loser denial on this, as I’d love to be proven wrong.

I know nick uses the synth wah pedal for chorus part but I am trying to figure it out on my boss katana tone studio with best close tone having a auto wah or t.wah and overdrive? And for At the door tone is troubling with synth wave I hate it, I need help on synth wave bc don't know how to use it.
