Strokes fan Luc ran into Julian in New York today and asked him when the world can expect the full version of I Like The Night, the song he recorded for Azzaro cologne.
This is the full tweet, which was sent to @TheStrokes_Fans:
@TheStrokes_Fans ran into jules in NYC tonight. THERE IS NO FULL “I LIKE THE NIGHT”. HE JUST RECORDED THAT PART. he told me when i asked.
(Note: This could all be a hoax. Probably not, but it’s possible. The Internet is the Internet, after all.)

This is definately sad and disappointing news. I wish there would be a full song of it. IT SOUNDED SO GOOD!
Such a disappointment…
Fuuudge! It would’ve been a one hit wonder! Lol.
I was really expecting a full version 2012. Well, at least I was able to make a ringtone outta it. @IzzytoExplain.
No… why? ;(
why would he lie to us.
Lol what a liar! Damn it, Julian
Oh for fuck sake. I’m not all that surprised at this point, although I was hoping he was just being moody about it in that recent interview.
Yeah, I don’t think this is true. In the behind the scenes video where we see JC record the song we clearly see written on a white board an outline of a song:
Intro
V1 (verse 1)
V2
PC (pre-chorus)
CH (chorus)
We’re definitely not hearing all of this in the commercials.
Also in that same video we watch Julian recording vocals and he sings lyrics that are not in Azzaro commercials.
So yeah…I’m still holding out for the full song.
This definitely not true. I work in a recording studio and we do stuff for commercials all the time and you never record just what you need. You would record more than likely an entire song and then slice up what you want from it for your commercial. This way you can make any length commercial you want. This is more than likely not correct.
you’re both right, but he probably means he hasn’t completely mixed/mastered a version he wants to release, or isn’t happy with what he has put together.
or he just isn’t excited about it like everyone else is.
why does anyone give a shit?
@TheStrokes_Fans ran into jules in Paris six month ago. HE THINKS FRANCE HAS THE BEST CHEESE IN THE WORLD. he told me when i asked.
I find it hard to believe that he would just write a 30-50 second clip and call it a day. Doesn’t the song fade out at the end of the commercial?
Also, this is Julian we’re talking about….this is all coming from the guy who can’t remember the words to his own songs half the time. Someone ask Alex Carapetis what was recorded. He’s a much more reliable source.
@gabe. I completely agree.
at the worst someone can take the acapella second verse and mix it over the instrumental to get an idea of what the full song would sound like..
Ugh… I do hope that there is a fulllll song. Why would they only record 30 sec of a song? And spend all that time writing/making the song?
@ gabe- This is not a full song:
Intro
V1 (verse 1)
V2
PC (pre-chorus)
CH (chorus)
Also, why ask such a dumb question? Why not ask about Strokes V or ask what hes working on at the moment…nobody really gives a shit about this song. Its cool, but I would much rather hear about plans for the future.
I’m holding out hope that this’ll get re-worked for Strokes V, and that’s why we aren’t getting a full song now. Okay, maybe not holding out hope so much as desperately clinging to straws.
Yeah, I’ll take this with a grain of salt. But if it is true, I’m not terribly disappointed. I mean, what we heard sounded cool and everything, but not so amazing that I need the whole thing. Let’s hear more about Strokes V!
I definitly cant imagine them having recorded only part of the song , but it seems like it wont be released at this point. I really wonder what their collective (or individual) next moves will be musically.
and this is a little off topic but i was just watching this interview again and they seemed fairly sure about a “long tour” in the fall and then this fall they played like four shows on different continents. I wonder what happened

also that danny masterson tweet made me happy cause Killing Lies is my favorite strokes song as well
yeahhhh
Watch this video of Julian performing “Out Of The Blue” with The Roots.

You guys think it´ll ever be a 3rd single?
No I guess this will be the first album without a third single. It should be MC or LISITM
Honestly I can’t wait another full year for another Strokes or Strokes solo album. They’re soooo good but they’re not productive enough. Make more music guys!
Further proof that the strokes seriously do not care about there fans.

biggest letdown of the year: new official website design. so dull
@wolfman great looking site*. Where do I find more just like it**?
*guy/**him
@ Caz-Just type in Julian Casablancas Tumblr or The Strokes Tumblr . There are tons of them.
So I went to Tumblr and saw this: http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/select, flame maple is the best… it has some UCOD vid atmosphere, and why there’s only one meal for two, and why they’re drinking bottles of perfume (hint, no? Ok…), and why Albert is so sexy even with short pants and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzUU7SRRsGo&feature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOt3r_aNNxE&feature=related
@wolfman
one of my biggest gripes, maybe the biggest with the return of the band is the new website design. i really loved the albums section in the past with all the interactive artwork, like with the monkeys and astronauts i was looking foward to see what angles representation would be. instead they redesign the whole sight and it is so uninteresting, what a disappointment!
award for the exact date the strokes “sold out” lol: http://lockerz.com/s/171956335
hey guys, i know this might sound like a shameless self-plug, but my band recorded a new demo, and i’d be really interested in what fellow strokes fanatics think. obviously, julian and the strokes have changed my life and inspired me to make music myself, and they are a huge influence. any feedback would be infinitely appreciated.
you can listen here: myspace.com/wmatac
thank you!!!
dayum, when am i going to hear some real news about teh strokes. i havent heard anythign interesting since summer
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHYYYYYYYYY, POR QUÉEEEEEEE?
@N_Fraiture: what’s the gayest, most pointless question I can ask you, in your experience?
What is wrong with some of you? Im more convinced every day that Eric is really a 16 year old chic.
Hey guys, i saw something on Amazon.com called The Strokes: The Lowdown. It said it was a 2 disc cd biography with interviews and a poster. Have anyone else heard about it, or know anything else?
So I said, ‘Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side’.
