That’s David Cross, who played the role of Generic Radio Douchebag in the video for The Strokes’ “Juicebox”…  At the time I said to myself, “I will NEVER do an interview with those guys, they’ll eat me alive!”… I’ve now talked to 2 of them… Click on the image to see what I’m talking about……..

As for Julian Casablancas….. Well, the guy’s done a lot of living… And yes, there is an aura about him that one must reckon with… But I’ll say that when I saw them back in ‘06 I was SHOCKED at the complete absence of any preening or rock-star self-love on his part… He was kind of sheepish actually… And I was also fairly shocked at the sophistication of the musical arrangements on the Strokes’ last album… A lot of it may have been lost on a lot of people, but I thought it was tremendous, and the lyrics were also pretty dense and filling…

….so when I got the chance to talk to Julian, there were some obvious things to ask, like the solo vs. frontman question, the future-of-the-Strokes question… But I also wanted to ask him about his music… AND about that video!!! Click below for the conversation…..

SEGMENT 1:   Does Julian want to make classical music?

SEGMENT 2: Where do I rank on the Strokes Radio D-Bag Scale??

SEGMENT 3: So. ARE The Strokes coming back, ever??

So, if you’ve ever wanted to HEAR the entire bible, now you can. It’s onsale as a 79-CD box set. Less than $100, too!!! Jim Caviezel is Jesus, Richard Dreyfuss is Moses, Luke Perry is Judas, to name a few…… Who’s the voice of God??? THIS guy, apparently:
