The Strokes

[Manuva]

Yep, I used to get the nme every week, but now, not so much, unless there's a feature on someone I like.

my favourite are fab and jules.

Manuva..... a big thanks for sending me the link to the new strokes single.... but it's not working...... it's like a whatever download software website...... do you have any other link?

 

[Manuva]

At the very top of the page, leave it loading for awhile, and then a really small button at the top of the page says 'download now'.

It's hard to find, really, but completely worth it.

 

[SanSalvadorGirl]

Oh wow I would love to hear Juice Box. Could someone send me the link to download??? Please Please

Hey this thread is v.cool. the strokes r totally amazing! lol

 

[SanSalvadorGirl]

I heard it too!!! I like it, now I'm even more excited about the new album!

 

[Kimkhuu]

Manuva.... do you have another link for the single..... cause the other one is still not working......

 

[moi non plus]

Why on earth did they chose such a weird name....

Don't get me wrong, I love them to death, but they are starting to disappoint me more and more..... I wish I could say they're such a bunch of sellouts with Fab showing at Dior HC and drinking at Starbucks, and the band showing up at a DKNY hosted after party, or showing up at a Marc Jacobs fashion show...... It saddens me a lot.... I used to love them A HELL LOT...... now I am hesitating... Yes, I still love their music.... ...but they're just really different now....

Actually, they've always been that way. Nothing has changed except that more people can now witness it because they are more famous and the media writes about and photographs them doing those things.

The new single..I wonder which of the 7 people they gave it to leaked it...

 

[Cammy]

i dont get what you mean? but i want to i dont understand why some one would leak it.. was it on purpose do you think or?

 

[xashax]

Manuva, I haven't heard the song yet and I would really like to I love them so much, could you send it to me please? Sorry to be cheeky.

 

[MissAnia]

awwwwwwwwwww hot !!!

 

[xashax]

^Waht is hot?

 

[Cammy]

JUICEBOX IS HOT... thats my guess otherwise id like to know whats hot too

 

[xashax]

Cammy have you heard it? I really want to!

 

[SanSalvadorGirl]

The Strokes are just hot

If you really wanna listen to JuiceBox you can find it on the net.
Just check out some Strokes Fan pages. If I can find it, you can too!

 

[Cammy]

yes i have heard it and yeh ive been to some places online and its everywhere.. i dont understand how stuff gets leaked like that

 

[Kimkhuu]

I'll wait till the single comes out to listen to it......

 

[Manuva]

I'll PM you all links. I really don't want to publicy post it.

On, and in the NME that's out on Wednesday there's a comeback interview with none other than Ze Strokes!

 

[Manuva]

i dont get what you mean? but i want to i dont understand why some one would leak it.. was it on purpose do you think or?

Leaking a song isn't always bad. Hasn't hearing Juicebox made you desperately want the album the first day it's out?

EDIT: It is now on the official strokes site; thestrokes.com then just under news.

Enjoy

The song is really showing a band who has moved on musically and lyrically..

^Oh my good, Manuva, thanks for Pming me the link....... it's def a different strokes sound...... not sure if i like the beat is good......

but JULES.... what happened to his rocky throaty sad sexy voice..... now it's just so BOY BAND commercial sounding... all the soft screaming.........

is this a prank or what........ and the guitar riffs are not as genuine sounding....... sounds too perfect..... missing the LIVE effect that makes them sound so raw.........

I will buy their new album that's for sure, I love them to death...... but I don't like their music just now........ I'll give it a few more listens before giving out my final decision on their new sound......

it's not the old rock songs influence like the televison or velvet underground they're digging now...... call me crazy but i see a bit of coldplay in the new single.......

Whatever happened to julians voice.... and the song just sounds so SO upbeat and just like filled with happiness and joyfull guitar riffs.... no this cannot be it.......
