i listened to the "is this it" strokes album yesterday-- for old time's sake.
the title track has stuck to my brain like disgusting fly paper, with its stupid singsong, and the rest i recall as a boring repetitive pile of undifferentiated nothing.
see, reviewers like pitchfork praise its tales of "urban youth" or whatever teh fuck, but since i can't understand lyrics all i hear is a bunch of boring songs that all sound the same and add nothing to what already exists.
if i need tales of urban youth i'll read a magazine or something.
lol i remember the days when "urban youth" used to mean "hoodlums," not "brooklyn trustafarians."

"anti-folk" sounds very good right now
