Don't Be A Coconut (SOTD)

Pursuant to the Kleinette's latest SOTD, I've rapidly become completely obsessed with Julian Casablancas' new album. Totally expecting a huge dissapointment, I found it to be a tight, fascinating eight-track beauty which sounds like the best of The Strokes' but heavy on the keyboards, while simultaneously pushing further against generic boundries than any of the previous three albums. I do hope they follow through on their plans for a new album, but this album makes me feel like it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they didn't so long as Casablancas keeps making music. I've just fallen straight into it.

Anyway, here's a personal favorite Strokes tune of mine:

SOTD: Tourist - Julian Casablancas

Yesterday, I was driving along Constitution Avenue around 5.00pm.  The sky was a gorgeous combination of orange and blue, the chill was there and perfect, and leaves were falling.  Traffic was moving slowly and I was watching the washed out white federal buildings pass me.  I felt.. at home and like I was looking at something new at the same time....

This song, Tourist, by Julian Casablancas of the Strokes fame was playing on the radio, and it all just seemed to make such a nice fall moment.
