New Albert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep

Three tracks from the forthcoming Yours To Keep have apparently been at MySpace for a while now. "Scared" could be a Spoon b-side -- the verses at least; the chorus sounds like Lennon (Sean, that is). First single "Everyone Gets A Star" would be sub-par for a Strokes album, though "101" (featuring Julian) is fairly rockin'. Check 'em out.

How mediocre. I really had my hopes up after hearing some of his songs/demos on the Strokes In Transit dvd.

"101" is the hit, no doubt. We posted it a few weeks ago on the 'Stamps...

Since it's Booger from the Strokes, we've gotta like it! The whole robot family pegged him as a standout and now, look...a solo album.

Praise be to him.

And in other Strokes news:


Attention all other rock stars:


Wearing your wedding ring is way cooler than not wearing your wedding ring.
