The Julian Casablancas Solo Album
Is anyone excited? I am! He’s gone L.A. on us. Judging from the two songs I’ve heard so far (they’ll play on his Blade Runner-looking homepage if you go there), there’s a touch of 808s and Heartbreak happening on the new album—and, you know, The Strokes kind of invented the Glow in the Dark Tour with the 12:51 video anyway. After I watch the Yankees win the World Series, I’m going to download the album. [P.S. I always found The Strokes to be really reassuring in the months after 9/11. My friends and I listened to them all the time then, our senior year of high school, and it made N.Y.C. feel like the good old days.] To Julian Casablancas, Bloomberg Term III, Yankees Baseball, and freaking out (i.e., anxiety) in Nueva York. Shit is crazy.
So here’s why the Yanks are down 4 & counting in the third!
er … 5 & counting … they scored again literally between the time I typed that & the time I hit “submit” …
Yeah, this is a disgrace.
6!
3!
This game is ON
Maybe. I’ve learned not to bet against the Yankees. All the same, and even with the heart of the order coming up, I think it’ll go back to New York.
A prediction I made — tentatively — with two already down.
Well, I’m looking forward to game 6.
