The Strokes

Written on November 20, 2009 by Dave in Music

I sometimes forget how awesome this band is/was. I came across this video and was blown away once again. I think two of my friends have seen the band live, and I wish I had seen them but have never had the chance. Maybe they aren’t kaput and I’ll get the chance someday.

Indeed, Steve and I saw them in Buffalo in the early 00′s. Julian could barely speak yet sounded studio perfect when he sang. The only thing he said that was decipherable was encouraging a girl to lift up her shirt – then he said “hmm, maybe I’ll see you later.”

tym-pan-o-gram (noun)
an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum, and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Basically, it sounded like a cool name for a blog intended to be primarily about music. We’d both had other blogs previously, but over beers it was decided that more damage could be done as a joint venture. And here we are.

We share a passion for the undiscovered and under-appreciated, and hope that you’ll be able to find something you love as well.

About the Author: Dave
I like music. I can't describe how I came to like the music I do, because I don't know how or why, I just do.

Many years ago, Napoleon's brother, my great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather, came to America. He was asked his name on Ellis Island while being processed as an immigrant. Not understanding English, he was under the impression that he was being asked how he had arrived in the new land. So he turned around and pointed at the sea vessel and said, 'LaBarge.'

I come by my music taste of my own free will. My friends listened to 2Pac, my parents to contemporary Christian and me? Sunny Day Real Estate. I can’t explain it.
