Today is the last day of May. It's been a good month, the Strokes at Cannes and their Jools Holland performance were awesome!!
Some of you might be familiar with the band The Arctic Monkeys. You may know them as "the British Strokes". In a recent interview with Alex Turner, the Arctic Monkeys frontman (who is also very hot!!), he mentioned the Strokes!
When asked Who were the songwriters that most influenced you? What did you grow up listening to?
Alex answered To be honest, The Strokes were really a big deal for us. That was a gateway to a lot of other music for me. There is always that one band that comes along when you are 14 or 15 years old that manages to hit you in just the right way and changes your whole perception of things. I don’t know what band is doing that for kids right now.
Well Alex, for some, it's still the Strokes!
Heres the link to the interview

Tomorrow the Strokes will be playing on Ellen. 3pm ET, don't miss it!
Also, the Strokes will be playing KROQ weenie roast on Saturday. There will be a live streaming for those who couldn't be there in person.

I'm wondering how many have you have ever noticed that in the "the End has no End" video, when Ryan Gentles is getting egged on to go ask Mila Kunis to dance, it's Julian and Nick who are egging him. Here's the proof!
Also, is that Matt Romano (the stand in drummer for Fab when he broke his hand on tour in 2001 and a good friend of the band) in the backround? In the green party hat. I feel like, yes!
