I like looking at Julian Casablancas. No, not in THAT way (well, maybe a little in THAT way). I like looking at him because Jules is permanently stuck in 2001-via-1968, from the way he dresses to the way he styles his unstyled hair. There’s something oddly comforting about this, knowing that all it takes to recall the first time we heard “Hard to Explain” is to look at the current-day man who sang it, who’s now hanging out with French robots.
Here’s the music video for Daft Punk’s “Instant Crush,” which is NOT an appropriately accurate to explain my feelings for everyone in Strokes. (It is.)
