Turns out Alex Turner does a pretty good Julian Casablancas. Honest to blog! And with that we’re surprising, nobody. A’Monk ribbing aside, this really is a fun cover of Room On Fire burner “Reptila,” Alex joining Lightspeed Champion & friends (billed as the Pun Lovin’ Criminals) at the White Heat party in Mayfair, across the water. The kids seem to be Strokes fans.
Damn good we say. They should put out an Is This It tribute album and call it Innit?. For album art inspiration, they could look at Goldenfiddle’s “In-Depth Look Into The Making Of The Cover Art For The Strokes’ First Album.” Smell the glove.

wish the audio was better.
i guess someone’s been playing rock band
oh jesus. stereogum quoted Juno. The faux-indie universe is folding in on itself.
Yeh: Mr Lightspeed Champ and I were having a chat recently about learning how to play every single song on Is This It the moment we picked up a guitar.
Thanks for the clip, ‘gum.
that was good? that sounded like high school kids who read ‘guitar world’ tabs and jam in their basement.
reptilia was on room on fire.
Prove it Mike.
You douche.
see that long haired raver dancing like a knob at the beginning? as much as I like to spaz out, this is why I hate being at the front. huge tall fuckers like those.
Howie Beck’s cover of Reptilia, posted on this site a while back, was far superior and worth checking out.
lincoln, reading is fundamental.
eh, that was okay. doesn’t really do Julian justice. i’d still bone Alex though.

Who cares? lame-ass gruopie
Ugh, Valensi’s solo is massacred, but otherwise this has a lot of heart.
