THE SUNDAY CORRESPONDENTS (in absentia)


ANOTHER FREE NEWSPAPER GIVEAWAY

Got to give The Observer a fair bit of credit for this as when it appeared in late 2003, The Strokes were one of the hottest acts in the UK.

It was there to promote the release of the band's second LP Room On Fire and the five tracks were:-

mp3 : The Strokes - When It Started
mp3 : The Strokes - New York City Cops (live in Iceland 2002)
mp3 : The Strokes - Last Nite (original demo)
mp3 : The Strokes - Meet Me In The Bathroom (Home Recording)
mp3 : The Strokes - 12:51

The first track was a b-side on Last Nite while the last track was taken from the album the sampler was promoting.

Wasn't too bad an investment. The paper probably cost about £2 and the CD is on sale on-line for £10.

Happy Listening.

Agreed!!! I come back around after an absence (which I regret and feel horribly neglectful about) and you've gone all slick and sleek, Ctel is back online!!!, and there's loads of Smiths songs back here :) yay!!!!

I figured I'd better sneak around and have a peek at your house today as I was thinking of you so much after being bearhugged by Mr. Billy Bragg the other night (!) after telling him how I began writing about music after a concert of his, that night --getting online and finding people like you who were as crazed music fans as I am, finding that community of people who care about music and about politics and about community.

So, this time of year comes around to say thanks again for doing what you do <3 xoxoxo
