Julian Casablancas Issues Statement On Brunch
<
Whatever you want to call this ongoing hubbub about Julian Casablancas and his disdain for New York City brunch crowds and/or hotshot GQ reporters — Brunchgate? Brunchghazi? — consider today’s tweets the Strokes and Voidz frontman’s last words on the matter. In a Twitter rant just now, he gave his definitive take on brunch as well as intra-band relations in the Strokes and the functionality of Twitter. One notable quotable: “i am not against the concept of weekend late breakfast, which people of all freedoms & hues should enjoy.” Here’s the full spiel.
clarification on a couple of silly press things:

for the record, i was specifically joking about when people dress up like it's the kentucky derby for LES brunch.

…with music journalism, like in most arts, there are definitely many very good ones and few great ones

ps should twitter invert their order so the last twits are at the bottom (so you can read them downwards/normally?)

unless it's on purpose as part of their originality, in which case i should be ignored
(as i should be anyway on this)

For more Casablancas fun, read my own recent interview with the guy. Fair warning: We didn’t discuss brunch.
