Hey guys!! I’m kinda sad that there hasn’t been any new strokes music in a while
and as a result I made this demo the other day and I wanted you guys to give it a listen and tell me what you think: http://soundcloud.com/ignacio2693/ignacio-vargas-hey-now-demo
The guy on the x factor was atrocious. He “sang” the entire song out of key… are they deaf?
stage format look familiar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opTAuJXRkA4&feature=related
Here’s a video of Nikolai and co during the game’s halftime :

OK, you made my day with this post.
First, that halftime music intermeco is perfect for Julian’s YT worm-hole research. What they were thinking…
And then this 80-ish pathos! My god! Lol, now I will dream Strokes in this outfit, with those extra volumenised hairs, mini-chandeliers-like earrings, pastel-colored tunics and with all those gentle movements and meaningful glances. It will be a nightmare!
This is nice. Regina is the boss…
