As we have said before, we are very aware this is starting to look a lot like VampireOctopus.com. We’ll lay we promise! Anyways, Contra is out next week, but here’s a full stream for you while your waiting and here’s our review of the album. Although I must admit, the album has grown on me considerably since that was written.
So, as I am sure you have heard, Julian Casablancas (the lead singer of The Strokes) is releasing a solo album on Novermber 3rd. But in case you are skeptical that the album is worth purchasing, (I know I am! The Strokes and Strokes related material hasn’t been all that great for years) you can listen to the whole album free of charge on his Myspace.
For your additional pleasure (not really though), here’s a video of a less than stellar performance Julian had on The Tonight Show last night.
