Hard to Explain

I always knew Julian Casablancas (of the Strokes) was a little bit of a prick, but I always let it slide cos of those mysterious eyes and swagger. Oh yes. I fully admit I was crushing on Julian big time back in the day. Imagine the level of my heartbroken disappointment when I stumbled across this interview for his solo stuff. Could it be true??? Has my crush been crushed?
Not only is he totally boring and washed up, he decides for some reason to do the whole interview with sunglasses on?! And it's not even outdoors. If you really want to be disappointed then skip ahead to around 5:56. Just listen to him for yourself. I don't want to spoil it.



Yeh, the song's not great either. Or the video.



Do you reckon the Strokes hate each other but just tour for the money like the Pixies? I hope not, though there's no way of thinking otherwise really.
I guess I can't be too surprised. Julian's track record hasn't been great recently. Do you remember this weird collaboration? No? Didn't think so.



I think that's enough of a rant. But I make my point. I miss the old Julian.
