In M Television, just before the first chorus, Caleb sings "and if you wanna get your picture took". After that the guitar fades into silence for a second. Just as it fades I swear I can hear what sounds like the ding from a Facebook chat notification.
Anyone else hear it?
I've been able to hear it since the day the album came out 😂.
Today song is Devil Song. How would you rate it out of 10?

3-4: Not good. Regularly skip.
5: It’s decent, but I might have to be in the right mood to listen to it.
6: Slightly better than average. I won’t skip it, but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.

8-9: Really enjoyable, special songs. I rank them pretty high overall.

Nothing's certainly confirmed like Mexico was but in ‘negotiations’ for next year.
I don’t know what exactly, festi or dedicated but I’d personally assume The Town festi for September, São Paulo. Katy Perry already confirmed and Foos have played it before recently.
I love watching them live and have many more videos to watch on Youtube, but what’s y’all’s fav live concert video/movie available online? High energy and pretty close to studio album (again high energy like the album feels)
I really want them to continue in the same vein as Cwphf, it was their best album for 17 years for me personally. However, I'm not sure if they'll feel the industry pressure and go more radio friendly, I hope not as I think it would undo the momentum and creative image change they've been undergoing! What do you guys think? Are they just at the point now where they can just ride off the back of their back catalogue or do they need a hit or two to keep them there/ increase the demand and capacity of their shows/ be back on top commercially? Can they do that with how they're doing it currently, and just have some kind of quirky track that bags them a lot of attention? Does this sort of commercial credibility of a band even matter to us fans? So many questions!
What are the best kol performances with the best crowds?
Saw an interview from 2016 during the Walls album release. Caleb stated that some songs didn’t make the cut for the album. My question is, why don’t the songs make the cut? I know walls had a total of 10 songs. Can they not just leave the songs and have a longer track list?
This is really bugging me. But there’s a song at sounds really similar to the very beginning of “Don’t matter”. I think it’s like an early 2000s/mid 2000s rock song. It’s like on the tip of my tongue but I just can’t put the tune to the name of the song or band.
…Because I don’t.
I’m not sure what I’m not hearing, maybe I’m just perpetually thick, but I’ve heard many people say Is This It and Youth And Young Manhood are essentially alike, and every Strokes fan should listen to Young Manhood, vice versa. I’m a massive fan of both albums, and have avidly been listening to both since the noughties, but…
…ARE THEY???… Like, really? Or is it just a throwaway statement? Or because they were originally branded “The Southern Strokes”? Do you hear actual resemblance? If so, which songs in particular are similar? What qualities do both songs/albums share, apart from the genres and time periods being similar/the same?
I honestly think Antics by Interpol has more in common with the likes of Aha Shake than Youth And Young has with Is This It.
Today song is Molly's Hangover. How would you rate it out of 10?
