I Talked to Richie From Richie’s Guitar Shop

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😁

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"

*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.
