Some have mocked writer Jay McInerney's profile of The Strokes as almost a satire of a Rolling Stone feature. Seemed fine to me, though I haven't listened to the new CD so my mind isn't ready to focus on them quite yet. It couldn't have been easy to interview guys who seem to speak only in vague generalities.
Best line: McInerney talks about the production on the new release by saying, "It's stil 3 a.m. in Casablanca's voice, but it no longer sounds as if he's drunk and shouting at you from the sidewalk through a tenement intercom."
Minor mistake: it refers to their first single "Juicebox" as "Jukebox" and wrongly claims it's the band's first Billboard Number One single. Maybe McInerney is referring to some digital download chart, but the song is currently at Number 15 on the secondardy Modern Rock chart and isn't even in the Top 50 of the main chart, the Hot 100.
