Here at the Duh Moines blog were all about eclectic taste, in pretty much everything. If it's good, it's good. For instance, everyone knows that Jon Gosselin was a really original costume idea for Halloween, but SO WAS BALLOON BOY! They were both highly original and well thought out costume ideas for cool, straight, all around nice guys.
Today's best release comes from Julian Casablancas, the lead singer of the Strokes and one of the coolest dudes on the decade. Julian has released 3 stellar albums with the Strokes and he carries the demeanor and looks of a rock star of old. I compare him to Jim Morrison in some regards, with his deep voice and onstage swagger, when imbibing in the spirits. In an age of Nickelback, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco and all the other shitty bands that rule the airwaves, we need to go beyond radio to find what is good. Julian is a talented musician, a cool guy and a hell of a singer. His singing is perfect in the most imperfect way. Check out his new album, Phrazes for the Young and give it a few times to sink in. Get a taste of the album below with the song Tourist.
