Julian Casablancas on the Tonight Show
Video: Julian Casablancas on Conan
Anybody catch Julian Casablancas on the Conan the other night? It wasn’t as “far out” as I expected it to be from reading a couple interviews with him. Sounds like the Strokes with some bloopy bits and programmed drums. Not bad, but not super interesting either. I turned it off and went to sleep before the song was over, but now we can watch all the way through via Hulu.
So I haven’t heard the album all the way through, but I like the song he’s giving away on his website. What do you think? Is this just changing the saddle on a one-trick pony, or is he creating something fresh here?
MP3: Julian Casablancas – “River of Brakelights” from Phrazes for the Young, out November 3 on RCA.
Julian Casablancas: iTunes, Amazon, Insound, wiki
This is the first time I’ve really used Hulu, and I’m pretty impressed. I like how you can edit the start and end times of the clip you’re embedding. The ads are annoying, but…well, no shit. Welcome to monetized internet.

I think Phrazes is an awesome record. Really digging it so far. You can actually stream the whole thing on Julian’s myspace right now- http://bit.ly/JulianCasablancasMyspace. Definitely worth a full listen!
