| Where we met - Benicassim! |
Firstly, I'm sorry to inform you that the brainchild of this operation, Mr. Hartt, is unavailable this week (he's currently tied up and being tortured by an army of angry RHCP fans)! So its a British invasion! Actually, I'm the only British thing about this week as its all about 5 guys from New York. Yes boys and girls, The Strokes are back!!!
Like a child on Christmas day, I was very excited when I saw a post on JC's website (that's Julian Casablancas, not Jesus Christ - he's no way cool enough to front this band). Safe to say I hunted down the meaning of One Way Trigger.
Like all their comeback singles (see: 12:51, Juicebox, Undercover...) - it's a cracker. Starting off sounding like an 80's video game with an almost unrecognisable falsetto from Julian, all sounding much more like something more fitting with his solo work, before then turning to that 'classic' Strokes sound. Which all makes you very optimistic about a new album and gets better with every listen. I know there's pressure on these guys to keep 're-inventing the wheel', but just take it for what it is - a great song that shows they're not resting on past accomplishments. This my friends is the song of the week! Please enjoy irresponsibly.
Thanks,
Woody!
The Strokes - One Way Trigger
Totally agree about the repeated listens. Start with 3 before you make a real decision about it! Also, new Eels album out! -maxx
