    I've probably told this story before, but for the very last show of the Green Tour---their first tour playing big arenas---they returned to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. First song out of the gate was Radio Free Europe. Second was Pilgrimage. At that point, I turned to my friend and said, "Holy crap, if they do Laughing next...." Sure enough, they played Murmur straight through, took a break and then came back to do the Green setlist.

    I like the idea, just not sure I'd want AJ singing. Part of me thinks his contemporaries should be doing this, but they're too old for the grind.

    First thing I remember from him is Operator. Died waaay too young. Did not play particularly well (that's what Maury Muehleisen was for), but one of the last true singer songwriters on guitar.

    A legend in so many ways. I played just about most of these games and the soundtracks, always top tier.

    Is it still selling out when you're an alternative nostalgia act with the members pushing 60?

    Pretty standard interview of Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. But when asked about the election, well let's just say I've heard middle-aged Glibertatian white dudes say "yeah, well both parties are essentially the same. They both suck" :confused:

    When Biden dropped out and Kamala Harris stepped in, did you watch the upsurge of optimism among liberals with sympathy, amusement or dismay?
    I would say complete indifference. I think the fact that they’ve got someone at the top of the ticket that no one voted for is in total alignment with how the DNC wants to operate.

    Will you vote?
    There’s an argument to be made on the eve of the day that it’s probably wise, even though I think the difference between the parties is minute in terms of policy. They both suck. But because of the chance that Trump could try to stay [in office] forever, it’s worth voting against him.

    I've been on a CAS kick lately. Very reminiscent of dream pop bangers like Mazzy Star or the Cowboy Junkies.

    What did you expect? All these alt rock people are basically the sons of privilege.

    Don't get too triggered. All I mean is, they ain't Black. Ain't been down through nothing

    Sons of privilege is a good answer but even a good, coming from lower income and trying to make it group, are going to be too busy to follow politics. It’s a full time job.

    That’s from the Get Back documentary, it’s really long but totally worth it, watching their creative process is amazing.

    And that clip made me realize why Paul sings like he does on the song Get Back, it’s inspired by Canned Heat’s Going Up the Country (which I actually thought was sung by Kermit the Frog first time I heard it).

    Casablancas is way more a "son of privilege" than your average alt/indie rock guy. And I say that as someone who really likes The Strokes and has seen them live several times.

    Saw Mdou Moctar for the second time last night here in Omaha. Went with a few old friends.

    Tonight going with some friends to see Superchunk--first time ever for me.

    Then tomorrow, the "friends & fun" part of my visit to Nebraska ends, and it's off to my hometown to check on my parents.

    Good luck to you sir, I just made one of those visits a few weeks ago myself. Though mine had the fun part in the middle when my son and I made a trip to Mt Rainier, bracketed by staying with my mom a few days on each end. Where I got more than enough MSNBC to last me until the next visit.

    I am steeling myself for endless updates on what the weather has been like, and which people I haven't seen or thought about in almost 40 years have died.*

    I have a two hour trip from Omaha to my hometown tomorrow; I might stop in Lincoln to pick up some fresh, organic fruit because god knows I won't be able to get that where they live.





    *Note: I'm talking about people my parents aren't close to or maybe even didn't like; I'm not so callous as to be indifferent when somebody important to them passes.

    Yes, they were all rich kids IIRC. That's fine since they never pretended to be from the East Village or Washington Heights or anything. Talking Heads were art schoolers and nobody cared. My childhood friend's dad grew up in Yorkville in the 50s and it's changed quite a bit (like much of NYC) from what Casablancas experienced.

    I could be getting some of the details wrong, but I know Casablanca's dad is the head of one of NYC's top modeling agencies (tough life, eh, rock star and dad owns a modeling agency). And I think most of the members of the band met at Julliard.

    One of my good friends, though, has become friends with Albert Hammond, Jr., (my friend has a podcast that has made him a minor celebrity of sorts and has met a few musicians via that). He says Albert is a really nice dude.

    Yeah 4 of 5 were privileged. Hammond's dad was a songwriter and 3 of them went to Dwight. But they were fun & exciting in the early aughts.

    By Jim DeRogatis

    The Strokes entered this rat race with a distinct advantage. All but one of the five musicians are children of privilege, the offspring of first-generation immigrants who came to New York from Europe and South America and scored big. Most famously, there’s Julian’s dad, John Casablancas, the founder of a chain of modeling schools and head of one of the city’s most successful modeling agencies. Father and son aren’t especially close—Julian was raised by his mother under a different roof, and he denies the rumors that he did some modeling for his dad. But the elder Casablancas did pay for the part of his son’s music-school tuition that a two-year scholarship didn’t cover.

    The band’s roots can be traced back even before that, to the Dwight School, a private grammar and high school that has been educating affluent New Yorkers at 89th Street and Central Park West since 1880.

    Like this one & the video's wild. Did the drummer ever resurface? :D
