Last week, Ryan kicked off the holiday season with his 'Tis The Season mix, which featured a mixed bag of tunes to get you in the spirit of things. Maybe it was the first sight of snowflakes in New York City earlier this week, the smell of all the pine trees for sale on the street corners around the city or all of those holiday decorations, but I thought we'd continue on the theme from last week. For this week's mix tape, we've got six indie-rock Christmas tunes for your listening pleasure. So sit back, enjoy and play it [...]

Los Strokes de ayer. Primero dijeron que en septiembre de 2010. Luego lo movieron para enero de 2011. Hoy, las cosas están así: el cuarto álbum de los Strokes se ha vuelto a posponer, esta vez hasta marzo del próximo año, y es que de acuerdo a las declaraciones que Julian Casablancas ha rendido a la BBC , el disco va "a la mitad". [...]

I know, Phrazes for the Young was released months ago. For ya'll that have followed us from the beginning, you know that this album was an honorable mention for Top 10 Albums of 2009. When that was posted, we must not have given it enough time. For everyone that doesn't know, Julian Casablancas was the lead singer of the much respected band, The Strokes . Personally, I grew up with The Strokes, and have found very few people who actually disliked them. Like them or not, give Julian a standalone shot, you won't [...]
I don't know, maybe we need to start rating these late night performances based on Fallon's geekouts. He seems barely able to control himself after Casablancas and crew's rousing rendition of "River of Brakelights."

Julian Casablancas has announced additional dates for his forthcoming North American tour. The Strokes ' frontman, who is touring in support of his debut solo album ' Phrazes For The Young ', will embark on the jaunt on March 23 in Providence, RI. Among the dates announced are shows in Baltimore, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, and Austin.

Qualche giorno fa è -finalmente- arrivata la notizia dalla voce di Fab Moretti ai microfoni della BBC: gli Strokes sono negli Avatar Studios di New York a registrare il quarto album, sotto la supervisione di Joe Chicarelli. Se tutto procede come deve, il disco sarà nei negozi il prossimo settembre. Ormai quella dei vlog sta diventando una moda: molti musicisti girano dei brevi filmati che testimoniano il lavoro in studio. Una specie di diario di sala in formato video che ha il doppio effetto di entusiasmare i fan e generare l' [...]
![[News] – The Strokes Reveal New Album And Live Dates](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2369851_lg.jpg)
The Strokes haven't released an album for almost 4 years now, their last being " First Impressions Of Earth " in 2006, but they've been speaking about that followup and playing live this summer at various festivals. I wasn't a huge fan of " First Impressions Of Earth " with only a few standout tracks, but I really liked not only Julian Casablancas' solo album " Phrazes For The Young " that came out last year, but also Albert Hammond Jr's solo album " ¿Cómo Te Llama ?" from 2008. Speaking to [...]

Julian Casablancas is back....and we love it!
Julian Casablancas has lashed out against his record label, blaming them for the "horribly executed" release of his debut solo album. While a fourth Strokes album is "coming", he insists, Casablancas has been busying himself with the "bullshit" of promoting and distributing Phrazes for the Young. "Working on music is the funnest thing for me," Casablancas told New York Magazine. "I could do it all day, all night. But there's all this other crap that I just constantly have to do." While the solo record was a co-release by Casablancas's own imprint and major label RCA, "[RCA] are [...]

You know a band was talented when multiple members split off to produce successful solo work. The Strokes did just that. Damn I miss them! All sadness aside, the best part about The Strokes members' solo projects is that they each tackled a distinct genre. Albert Hammond Jr's straight-forward, cheerful rock is a continent away from Fabrizio Moretti's brazilian-infused jamming with Little Joy . And, at the end of 2009, Julian Casablancas brought his scratchy, distinctive voice back to life for the equally unique Phrazes for the Young , a sunny electronic [...]

check out his official video released "11th Dimension" here. buy album ' Phrazes for the Young'. Julian Casablancas - Out Of The Blue (Live at Spaceland)

Seems a bit late for Julian to finally be getting around to releasing a video for "11th Dimension", the new wave-y lead single to an album that feels like it was released eons ago (actually, it's only been two months...but still ). Nevertheless, we're thankful to be reminded of the track's effervescent greatness again via the clip, which, like "Dimension"'s production, serves a hodgepodge of '80's film and music video influences (from it's soft-focused haze to the Tron meets Jacksons' "Can You Feel It" special effects), with a plotline [...]

Julian Casablancas has premiered the music video for "11th Dimension". The track is off the singers' solo debut album, 'Phrazes For The Young'.

Julian Casablancas acaba de presentar el vídeo promocional de su canción "11th Dimension" , perteneciente a su primera producción solista Phrazes For The Young . Siendo sincera, la primera vez que escuché está canción me pareció bastante malita, pero ahora viendo el vídeo francamente ya me gustó un poco más. Y es que en éste tenemos la oportunidad de ver a Julian actuando y cantando en diversas épocas, haciendo amigos en clubes ochenteros, escribiendo filosofías en la pared, cantando con un traje de neón Y hasta inventándose pasitos de baile. Mal actor definitivamente [...]
