Apologies for the blog being pretty quiet again, guys: I know I’ve had a lot on my plate recently from work, and FYTS kind of got left in the dust. I’m going on vacation to England for a week, so the blog will be on a mini-hiatus for that time from my end, at least. I just cleared out the anon questions from the inbox that we’re able/willing to answer and that haven’t been...

Anonymous asked: Hey :) I was wondering where i could find a video of Julian telling the audience to please give back his necklace. I saw it a while back on Youtube but don't know where it went. I think it's early strokes stuff. Thanks.

What were your roles at Julian's wedding? Did anyone make a speech?
Nick: Nikolai made a beautiful speech. We were all groomsmen. What's a groomsman? You offer support for the groom and for the best man - in case anything goes wrong, you take care of it.
Fab: If shit goes down, you're there. Right before the ceremony happened, we were all "backstage" in the church and it felt like a show. We were all so nervous for him, but it went great. Julian made this speech that me teary-eyed and Nikolai…
Julian: OK…I don't mean to…this is embarrassing.
Nikolai: Did I make a particularly bawdy best man's speech? No, I chickened out. I made him a cheesy little video.
Nick: It wasn't cheesy. Old footage of them when they were kids, growing up. It was really heart-warming.
Anonymous asked: That cover of Under Cover of Darkness is so beautiful! Thank you for bringing it to my attention! I was just wondering if any of The Strokes had heard it? Someone should really tweet Albert or Julian, it's so great! Love the blog by the way.
