Casablanca responds in the negative

As for the famous Strokes boogie beat, Valensi says, "When we were first starting out Rosetta Stone Spanish, we wanted to have songs you could do cheesy dances to — like the Carlton dance from The Fresh Prince or the Pretty in Pink dance." The actual seed for the Strokes was planted when Pierre, the brother of Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture, gave Casablancas a Velvet Underground CD for Christmas while he was in high school. The music was an Epiphany for friends Fraiture, Casablanca, Valensi and Moretti. The dream when they formed the Strokes, according to Casablancas, "revolved around taking the Velvet Underground and thinking, If only they were really famous. "And the goal was to be really cool and nonmainstream, and be really popular. "Why does everything that has to be big and popular suck?" he adds. "I got a problem with that, so Im trying to do something about it." At 2A, the east village bar across the street from the basement studio where the Strokes recorded their first EP, Casablancas runs into an old friend, a large Puerto Rican with dreadlocks named Nestor. "You probably dont remember how we met,"says Nestor. Casablanca responds in the negative. "We were Cheap Rosetta Stone Software at Spa and all of a sudden Julian comes up to me and says, If you were a girl Id kiss you," Nestor recalls. "I backed off. And then he told me that his band the Strokes were playing at Mercury Lounge, and if I came hed be my best friend forever. No one knew who they were then. So I went, and it was really hot. The air conditioning was broken, so I left after three songs. Then I saw him later at the Cherry Tavern and told him Id seen the show, and he bought me a drink." An elderly Asian woman walks past selling bootleg CDs: Radiohead, Beck, Nirvana. "How much?" Casablancas asks. They are five dollars. "Ill give you a buck." She doesnt even entertain the offer. Casablanca owns only three CDs: the two discs that havent disappeared from his Bob Marley box set (Confrontation and Uprising) and The Essential Johnny Cash. "I wouldve bought that Radiohead CD for three bucks," Casablancas says after the sales woman leaves. "But then you might write about it, and Id run into them backstage and theyd say something about it."To read the full article, you Rosetta Stone Japanese must be a subscriber to Rosetta Stone Plus.
