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 ;-)
