yep lawrence, i'll back you up! the strokes ARE kinda shit. in my shop we play a variety of music (i'm supposed to play world music only really, but after listening to some of those albums for over a year you do get a bit fed up with them). the assistant manager is a big b&s fan too, which is good so we both enjoy listening to

First time posting.... Listen to it a few more times. It took a few times to grow on me and now I think it's the best album out there. I don't like comparing bands to other bands. It only leads to disapointment, especially if you are/were really into them. The Velvets, I agree... no way. Television.. same. They are The Strokes and they count for themselves. If they sounded like the Velvets then I would say they're ripping off the Velvets. The singer does sound like Lou Reed sometimes but...... zorba@redbricks.org.uk wrote: them. but he's also into the manics, so plays them too, which is not so good. but anyway onto the strokes . . . . i listened to their album twice over the other week and it was boring and droney. television they aint. velvet underground - uh-uh *shakes head violently. about as much fun as listening to gay dad - probably. or maybe these animal men. another band NME decided to make big & then break. no more strokes in my shop. now where did i put my Parliament album . . . ? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
