You know, I used to like the Strokes, until I noticed:

--there's no bass in Julian Casablanca's vocals. It's all treble.
--Dudes, the 70s NYC junkie look went out in the mid-70s.
--[livejournal.com profile] emmalyon and [livejournal.com profile] lynxreign pointed out that they're a "C+ band". In other words, they're doing the minimum, but not trying any harder. I think this video is testament to that. ;)


That said, however...DJ Freelance Hellraiser did a brilliant job back in '02 mixing their also half-assed "Hard to Explain" with Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" for one of the best mashups EVER.
