Julian explains in this interview with ABC News where he dropped the “Boombox” vocals, his role in writing the melody of “Boombox” and how much fun he had with the Lonely Island crew. Is it of much-watch status? Yes, yes it is.
The one thing he doesn’t address in the video is what’s up with copping Dom Howard’s style.

Yeah, I know. You’re ready to kill somebody.
So am I.
Let’s just get to the ProJo quote about Strokes IV in the piece where Julian talks about his new record and the upcoming Phrazes tour across the United States…
As for The Strokes, Casablancas says they’re still at work on their fifth record, and “it’s coming along” — he foresees a January 2011 release.
I guess the only thing we can hope for is that the author of this piece – Rick Massimo – fucked up the date when Julian expects the fourth record to come out like he did with which album they’re on. But, given that Julian will be on the road for the next three months – which is approximately the amount of time between a September 2010 and January 2011 release – I doubt it.
I have no rational words at this point. I can’t say that seeing them in August will make everything better because it won’t. I really just want an album at this point. Think about it – January 2011 is going to be five years since First Impressions of Earth. That’s a long fucking time and I hate to say it, but a part of me is getting the same feeling I had back during this past summer. I’m getting the feeling that we may never get a fourth (or fifth) album.

The greatest thing about the NCAA Tournament is that for 90% of the players involved, it will provide them with the most important experience of their lives. And, in some rare cases, the NCAA Tournament will make the player involved famous for the rest of their life. The Tournament often sends a college kid into a lifetime of infamy they will be unable to shake until death. We still remember Chris Webber’s crunch-time choke job during his time in the Final Four with Michigan back in the early 90s – he called a timeout when his team didn’t have any more timeouts, which is a technical foul. And it’s my guess that Luke Harangody’s final game in a Notre Dame jersey will forever taint his storied career at the university.
While some players choke, other seize the huge moment. Like Danero Thomas’ buzzer-beater to knock No. 4 Vanderbilt out on the opening-day of the Tournament. Murray State fans will never forget Thomas’ name.
A lot of people sit back and argue that the NCAA’s product of basketball is vastly inferior to the NBA’s and it’s true. No one can argue with that. But the thing that’s different is that every single moment of the NCAA tournament has the potential to be the biggest moment in the life of each player involved. It is unquestionably the best sporting event of the year and, for the viewing audience, truly dramatic television.
