Re: oh shite.
the album's not amazing, but it's comfortably familiar enough to just put on while you're reading or something.
still, there's nothing wrong with imitating the Velvet Underground (as I too believe Les Strokeurs do). Jonathan Richman made it a musical direction and no one with half a brain can deny how excellent he is.

Re: oh shite.
Remember when everyone said the strokes were a ramones tribute band? And a blondie one? And a television one? Christ, I even heard them compared to the wedding present.-

Re: 5 words on the new single
Guns 'n' Roses, they're the G'n'R for the 2000's
proved by G'n'R members on the next single etc, they *are* them in personality and musical direction (updated and changed for eth times obviously)
word is bond.

Re: oh shite.
New York Dolls tribute band I say, and not a very good one at that.
If 'Someday' is one of the best songs ever then I suggest you get yourself down to your local record shop pronto and start listening to more music.
Unless you are Mark Beaumont/Ben Knowles/ (insert NME journos name here) that is, in which case part of your employment contract obviously states you have to promote The Jokes at every possible opportunity.-
Re: oh shite.
New York Dolls? Fuck off. Have you even heard The New York Dolls?-
Another one!?
...dont i recall there being a song of the album which came out like LAST YEAR called someday?..... hmmmm-
Re: oh shite.
ok. i shall listen to more. music.
problem solved.
surely. -
Re: Another one!?
i think the most scandalous thing is that they *still* won't release any new songs as b-sides.

Re: 5 words on the new single
oh my god!! i had given up hope in convincing anyone of this, let alone finding anyone who already thought so too. yay! :D
