Re: (TV) The Strokes

[Sam Inglis <sam@sospubs.co.uk>]

Anyone heard the album? It came out a couple of weeks ago over here,
with New York City Cops on it, and it's great. In fact that song is the
best thing on it, so it's a shame they've left it off.
One of the other songs deliberately 'misquotes' the guitar riff from
'See No Evil', too. 
(Apologies if the Strokes have already been the subject of much list
discussion and I've missed it...)
