July 8, 2011 By Laurie Kamens

What’s better than The Strokes? Multiple Strokes! In the video for “Taken for A Fool,” the band’s new single, numerous images of Julian, Albert, Nick, Nikolai and Fab appear simultaneously at the center of a spinning hologram.

Who had the better MSG show?

April 4, 2011 By Matt Flint

I’m pretty sure it means something that the two huge-ass shows that took place this weekend were indie bands playing at Madison Square Goddamn Garden.
