The Strokes Are the Wedding Present
And it came to pass that The Strokes were "The best thing since sliced bread" according to NME and therefore hyped beyond all belief.
Saw them at Reading Festival last week, they were alright, but Pulp should have been headliners. In fact, we decided that the Strokes are in fact The Wedding Present in disquise and we were able to match the words and tune of "Apple Pie" to every Strokes song except "Last Nite"
"The Wedding Present PLUS a drum machine PLUS excess publicity PLUS silly names PLUS rough Athena poster art PLUS indie-baiting success PLUS corny mid-song pause PLUS remembering the hooks EQUALS the best indie single of 2001."
