Strokes Start Work On New LP 2/11 @ 2 PM Members of the Strokes have been busy with their Little Joys and Megapusses, but according to Coldplay collaborator Albert Hammond, Jr., after two years apart they're finally getting back to the band that made people care about all these side projects in the first place. They don't have any songs yet. In fact, so far all he knows is the date and time: "February 11th at 2 o'clock we're going to the studio to hang out and play music."

Listen 'gum, I want you to be on top of this. Get your hands dirty.

I want interviews.
I wants on-the-scene reactions - both band AND fans.
I want MULTIPLE camera angles.
I want follow-ups.
I want insider sources.
I want BREAKING NEWS BULLETINS.

I.
WANT.
TEAM.
COVERAGE.

I wanna stop now.

Blech. After their last abortion I don't know if I can take another. Unless they go back to the golden days of their first two records...

Who cares??
These guys are no longer relevent.
They waited to long, and missed their chance to strike while the iron was hot and they still had something to say.
Sorry Boys.."cool" has passed you by.
Get out of the way old men...

Good. Now hurry the F up and start touring again! I wish they would've done this earlier so they could've made it in time for the summer festivals.

February 11, 2009. 2PM. The moment the earth stood still awaiting another Strokes album... hahhaaha.

I'm so sorry for the fans, whenever bands go up into smoke like this. Please note: they don't have any songs at all at the moment. You can hope for a 2010 release at the most.

Wonder how their music will sound after all that time, hope they are not considering pulling another The Verve/Travis on us...

On Sunday - @ 4pm I go to work at the rehab. After that when I get home- I watch Tool Academy- and pick out my socks for next week. But I digress.
