"Comedy" and "SNL writers" should never be used in the same sentence!

Do you mean "ANDY" Samberg.

Subby can't even get the name right, but this goes green?

The Strokes? Or how to play guitar using only one chord at once.

Strum one chord.

Ah, yes, you speak of the Gavin Rossdale school of music, yes?

How many chords do you recommend playing at any given time?

Is he the one that sings through a squawk box?

You are going to sit here and try to tell me that there is actually someone on this earth named "Julian Casablancas?" Get the fark out of here. I wasn't born yesterday, and not even someone in an unintentionally hilarious hipster-band like "The Strokes" could try to pull off that monicker.

I haven't read the article but I'm assuming the "SNL writers" in question are Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone of Lonely Island, in which case it will probably be a pretty funny album given how good they are with lyrics and arrangement.

Yeah! You have to be ultra-proficient at your instrument to make good music. I'd rather listen to some awesome Yngwie Malmsteen or Steve Vai than some shiatty chord strummers like the Clash!

Ooh, look at me! I can evoke emotion with my songs! Pfft! Play some 32nd notes in an odd time signature.

The Strokes are high up on my list of "worst bands I have ever heard in my antire farking life".

Please, don't have an engina attack. I find it hard to believe some people are jealous of rockstars just because they might not play the most complicated music. Look at history there have always been decent rock bands who aren't "complex" but who cares. Simple can be good, and simple can be bad. The Strokes are pretty good, not great, not amazing, but they put on a fun live show.

P.S. The E key is not right next to the A key so how do you describe being so stupid that you cannot spell the word "entire"? I'm not grammar nazi, but that proves you are an idiot in which case I understand why the Strokes would be high up on the list of your least favorite bands.

It's hard to explain.

You talk way too much.

Ummm.... since when are the Strokes bad? If I'm not mistaken, "Reptilia" is a pretty kick-ass song. And "Juicebox" is sweet as well.

NOT THIS.

The Lonely Island guys (and their Digital Shorts) are the best thing to happen to SNL in years. Plus, add the fact that Akiva Shafer has already directed videos for We Are Scientists and Eagles Of Death Metal (as well as creating multiple hilarious songs/videos for the TLI website) means that this will be major win.

I plan to buy this album in February as soon as it comes out. If "Jizz In My Pants" is any indication, this album will rawk. Hopefully, it'll be new material, and not just a rehash of stuff they've already released on SNL and their own website.

Well it looks like they'll sell one.

Hey don't go looking at me for answers. My only talents lie in snarking about people who make more money than I, doing things I don't even know how to do.

Otherwise referred to as "Welcome to Fark."

AC/DC are not complicated and they rule. The Strokes are a bunch of illiterate scenester trust fund babies incapable of playing or writing anything resembling music.
