Hello readers,
For those unaware of this, Amanda de Cadenet (Nick Valensi's wife) is quite the pro twitterer. It's awesome really, she tweets like 20 times a day.
Anyways, today, she received a tweet from a fan saying Quick question I hope you can answer. What does your husband's tattoo say? to which she replied good jewish boys dont have tattoos
I got such a kick out of that! Not sure why, I just found it very funny
Here's the link to an interview Albert Hammond Jr did at Peace and Love festival
Sadly readers, this is goodbye for a while. I'm going on a trip where I won't have access to internet, so this will be my last post until August 8. I'll miss you!

Taken For A Fool Single
Hello readers,
I'm sure many of you, as am I, are anxiously waiting for the realease of the Taken For A Fool single as well as the music video. Well, you can stop waiting. THE TAKEN FOR A FOOL SINGLE IS UP FOR PRE-ORDER ON THE STROKES WEBSITE!!!! If you pre-order, shipping begins on/before July 26. I'd recommend pre-order as usually a little bonus gift is included (a free download of the music video or something like that). The B-side is a live version of Taken for a Fool with Elvis Costello (from their MSG show). Detail here. Very exciting :-D
YAY!!!

SO MUCH GREAT NEWS
Hello readers,
So there is a lot of news to tell today, lets begin with the minor (not that there is such thing as minor Strokes news) news and work our way up.
The Strokes played Hove Festival the day before yesterday and it appeared to be a big success. The setlist looked fairly familiar to other shows, excpet Trying My Luch and Meet me in the Bathroom were played. Here's the whole setlist
01. Is This It
02. Reptilia
03. Under Cover Of Darkness
04. Hard To Explain
05. Someday
06. Taken For A Fool
07. Trying Your Luck
08. You Only Live Once
09. You’re So Right
10. Whatever Happened
11. Gratisfication
12. Meet Me In The Bathroom
13. NYC Cops
14. Life Is Simple In The Moonlight
15. Juicebox
16. Last Nite
17. Under Control
18. Take It Or Leave It
Ok next, the song that shall be featured on Live From Nowhere Near You Vol.II has been revealed. It will be Mercy Mercy Me, a song with Julian Casablancas on vocals and Fab Moretti on drums aswell as Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam on vocals. Not a new song, or In Her Prime sadly, but still awesome. View more details about the whole album here
The Strokes made the spinner Best Songs of 2011 (So Far). Undercover of Darkness was listed as Number 12. View the whole list here. It's so cool and awesome that the band has been put on so many of these lists (best 2011 songs/albums so far) but of course not surprising ;-)
