Redemption Song

There, she sang it like the album version. Everyone happy?

The Strokes Late Night Roundup

I'm liking these Angles songs more after I see them played live, particularly "Taken For A Fool" (above) and "Life Is Simple In The Moonlight" from their SNL appearance. I'm thinking maybe recording some of the tracks in Albert's home studio might not have been the best idea.

Also, Julian proves he is capable of making literally anything appear cool, when at the end of his Letterman performance, he mimics releasing a bowling ball down the lane. Objectively, that is probably the lamest thing a front man could possibly do, not to mention probably the last thing anyone would think to do as the lead singer of a rock band, yet somehow it looks kind of awesome.
