the proud new owner of "alone, together"

... also known as track six off the strokes' album. I don't know why I bought it exactly. When I first heard The Strokes I wasn't very impressed. Their songs just didn't latch hold of me like most of the music I listened to and liked. I blame it on Eric. Listening to that stupid cd on Saturday nights (the few we had) and while driving to Famous Pizza on green days just gives those songs new meaning. One of the songs, track 6, struck a chord with me after hearing it over and over again. So I wrote down in my little planner the words "The Strokes", "track 6". And so when we wandered into best buy today I thought of it, and decided to buy the album. And now I have it, and plan to listen to it in the dark and think about summer.
