The Strokes... give us an album

It seems as though the dead have finally awoken, probably to the continuous droning of thousand of fans worldwide, wailing for the release of a long awaited Strokes (fourth) album. The band has taken a five year hiatus since the release of 2006's "First Impressions of Earth," with guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. and vocalist Julian Casablancas both pursuing somewhat successful solo projects, among other things... AKA, recovering from alcohol and drug addiction, dating famous models, and welcoming children into the world.
However, on Wednesday January 5th bassist Nikolai Fraiture announced on BBC radio that despite weirdness in the studio, the album should be released "in March" (yes, this should sound warily familiar.) All we can do is cross our fingers and pray that our very talented and missed friends check their ego's at the door and deliver the public something even remotely as good as 2003's "Room on Fire"
                                                             AMEN

The fashion world's way of saying: "Rob Pattenson, go stick your teeth elsewhere, preferably into a sandwich and not the necks of naive, grief stricken girls." 
On a side note, why opt for cashmere when we can withstand the fierce weather in jagged black stones!?

on a totally separate note im in total despair. I seem unable to decide if Cassius Clay, the Yale sophomore who dropped out to be Kanye’s stylist, is crazy or super crazy. or how about super super crazy. read it for yourself here.

yesterday’s morrow

it seems when I moved to the USA I got off at the wrong state. nyc is NOT meant to have snow storms reminiscent of the FICTIONAL movie “the day after tomorrow” (which btw I watched while seated next to a couple who deemed it appropriate to basically have sex in the cinema).
if I wanted “romantic” white fluff, I would have moved to Michigan or those other cold typically American places that are the setting of EVERY Christmas film. has anyone ever noticed that a Christmas movie is never filmed in say Florida?
…..double mention of films might give some indication of how I spent my snow day
