It is exciting to see the strick of the strokes back in NYC and confidently back in the saddle. Looking very much like he rode in to town on two wheels, Julian and his current band of misfits sound pretty great on this Letterman performance. I've always been a big fan of The Strokes, but I have been slow to warm to this...do we call this solo outing a side project? "Out of The Blue" is one of the stronger tunes on the album, and this rendition has sparked my interest in giving the disc another listen. Casablancas has a lot going for him: the chicks dig him, the kids think he's cool, and he's currently off the booze and sounding better than ever. Julian demonstrates once again that he's is the real deal. I wonder what Fab and the boys think of their frontman's latest foray?

Somewhere along the way, my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way , my sadness turned to bitterness
Somewhere along the way, my bitterness turned to anger
Somewhere along the way, my anger turned to vengeance
And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
And the ones who deserved it, they'll never understand it.
Yes, I know I'm going to Hell in a purple basket
'Least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket...
How could you be, oh
So perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore, oh
The things I did before?
Somewhere along the way, exacting vengeance gave excitement
Somewhere along the way, that excitement turned to pleasure
Somewhere along the way, that pleasure turned to madness
But sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain
And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
Those who helped me along the way, I smacked 'em as I thanked 'em
Yes, I know I'm going to Hell in a leather jacket
'Least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket
And all that I can do is sing a song of faded glory
And all you got to do is sit there, look great, and make 'em horny
Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
About the way we feel today and tonight and in the morning...
How could you be, oh
So perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore, oh
The things I did before?
Take all your fears, pretend they're all true
Take all your plans, pretend they fell through
But that's what it's like...
That's what it's like for most people in this world
The rich or the poor Oh,
Muslims or Jews Oh,
When roles are reversed Oh,
Opinions are too..No oh oh
That's all I'm gonna say now
Before they come knocking on my door now
