Whaaaaat he said that?! I r/wooooosahhhed myself Hahahaha so funny so funny lolzzzzz! What a comedian so funny this joke about saying anthony did things he didn’t do hahahahaha ha kill me now
Julian seems like the most wonderful contradiction of someone who is overwhelmingly bored and incredibly inspired at all times. That was one of the best interviews I've heard in a long time
for sure. i also just think he also is socially "awkward" for lack of a better word. i think he thinks kind of abstractly maybe and he has a bit of a time conveying his thoughts in conversation. thats just my observation. i could be wrong.
@@raheemsultan2309I know this comment is 3 years old but being a people pleaser isn’t necessarily a positive trait, another way to put it is being a doormat
@@daltonlunn1653 “people like you”, dude that’s just most people, people are gonna have opinions on the stuff they consume. Some people go too far but all the person you’re replying to said is that Julian isn’t very enthusiastic in interviews, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to say, it’s not some bitter hate comment
8:50 Julian: “‘Eternal Summer is probably the one that was the most impressive, musically” Anthony: *tongue in cheek* (I shouldn’t have trashed that one in the review.)
@@prestopasta_ Bro, I know haha. Classic album. Thanks for being person 15 (or so) to comment on it. That album is criminally underrated. Great photograph by William Eggleston, too.
I appreciate that Julian doesn't have an "interview mode" or "gear", it's like he talks in interviews exactly as he'd talk to a friend or family member, completely non-performative, just thinking, rambling, unsure, etc. It's refreshing.
Is no one gonna talk about how sad it was when Julian said "I never learned to say goodbye" when Anthony said time was up? I almost cried😭 57:33 for anyone wondering
Those last minutes were kinda painful and adorable to watch at the same time. Julian can be so awkward sometimes but the fans just love that about him and so did Anthony. And how adorable that Julian wanted the interview to go on even after 1 hour. That's a rare thing. Anthony made that happen lol.
he doesn't realize it's the modern age, because he's on soma. but he has it under control. fantano said,"he originally asked to meet me in the bathroom", after drinking his juicebox, because of his metabolism. he's under a cover of darkness, and is going left and right in the dark. he saw a red light on the other side, in the evening sun, and thought it was the ize of the world. he said "ask me anything". fantano asked,"whatever happened?" "fear of sleep" fantano said,"you're so right" *automatic stop* "call me back" "do i take it or leave it?" "you talk way too much" "i can't win".
some julian wisdom "everything about our behavior is imitation of things we've seen." "the clothes you wear affects the music you play and it's probably true with your personality and what you say and how you are."
Those two statements don’t contradict each other, they go hand in hand, just worded differently. Clothing influencing you is just another form of imitating behavior you’ve seen. For example, say I dress like rockstar and that influences me to act like one. That sounds like an example of the second statement, but it also counts as an example of the first, because I’m imitating the behavior of rockstars I’ve seen. When he said “the clothes you wear influences your behavior”, he meant “the clothes you wear influences you to imitate the behavior of the people you’ve seen wear those kinds of clothes before.” If wearing wedding band clothes makes me wanna act like a wedding band member, that’s still just imitating behavior I’ve seen. Both statements are about imitation, just the first one is explicit about it, while the other one just implies it
Time stamps because Julian loves to ramble (on and on and on and on and onnn!) Rick Rubin & collaborating with The Strokes + Phrases for the Young Era 1:32 Discussing (The New Abnormal) album + song creation and production process 8:27 The Strokes: chemistry and collaboration process 21:28 The Voidz 24:12 The Strokes (Angles + Comedown Machine - backstory) 32:26 (Is This It + Room on Fire - feelings and looking back in retrospect) 34:14 *Q & A* 36:38 Daft Punk? 43:34 Saturday Nite Live. 48:47 > John Mulaney story + Voidz reference The Strokes - Grammy’s, The future and New material in the works 56:01
1:02:03 Julian: “I’ve watched many of your reviews.” Anthony (on the outside): “Oh! I-...... I appreciate that.” Anthony (on the inside): “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
I love how it seems like Julian really doesn’t care about what people think about the music he makes. He could have kept making tracks like those on is this it or room of fire (which are awesome albums) but he mixed it up and does what he wants even when the fans don’t like it like comedown machine or angles. And than he does crazy expiremental songs with the voidz also like human sadness. Personally I see him as kind of a genius.
Best interview of him ever! So refreshing to see him asked about the most important thing: THE MUSIC. And I've waited years just for someone to ask about Comedown Machine. Other music journalists, take notes.
my eyes where fucking big as melons when they touch on the comedown machine subject bro, finally someone ask the right questions and makes Julian feel comfortable enough to answer them, FINALLY!
these comments are funny. half of them are complaining about the camera quality and how he speaks / mumbles and the other half are saying “this is the best Julian Casablancas interview ever!” lmao
"It's like a sports team winning a championship, you don't think about it all day" - JC that is a great quote in regards to his early releases and fame.
Anthony tries to sound very articulate and sophisticated in these interviews but I think he should try to match the energy of the artist more, just to have the social interaction feel more fluid
Yeah he's a real straight shooter, and respects his own opinion whereas traditional journalists are trained to squeeze the most out of the interviewee... That being said there is an established dynamic to be observed mutually
there's a moment julian says like "i come from the place of being super intellectual about music..." and it looks like he is somehow criticizing that in fantano. I dont know but judging by fantanos reaction looks like he got it
I’m sick of people always talking about how depressed Julian is. Dude is just introverted and doesn’t like explaining shit to other people. Hardcore INTJ/INTP vibes.
Definitely! It is annoying just like people questioning how "clean" he looks etc. Yes that is an interesting convo, I can definitely see him as INTP/INTJ or also like ISFP/ISFJ
Had a few sips of wine just finished watching this while painting my nails on my bed at 10:40 pm on christmas eve and it’s truly not so bad. Life feels alright after all, not entirely bad after all.
Comedown Machine is honestly not only the best Strokes album but also one of the best albums ever made in my eyes. The fact that it's low-effort just shows what utter geniuses the boys are. And low-effort doesn't equate to low-quality. Low-effort can just as much mean it just flowed out straight from the heart with not much mind involved. And I think the very reason why Julian to this day struggles with the album is the same reason it's so unreachable at the top for me: It's a struggle album. You can feel the sadness, you can feel the frustration, the resignation, you can feel the longing for functioning together again and you can see glimpses of hope shining trough, like when they just burst out laughing together after the bittersweet hymn that is Slow Animals. Comedown Machine spoke to me more than any other album could in a very dark time and I think it's because it was created in a dark time itself. There's a magic, a bittersweet timbre to it that no other project can replicate. There will never be an album like Comedown Machine again. And that's both heartbreaking and wonderful. CM forever. ❤️
the new abnormal will always be my soundtrack of early quarantine/outdoor walks when gyms were closed. Which is wild, considering Is This It and Room On Fire were my soundtrack for college, and The Voidz were the soundtrack for grad school (grad school got weird). Great interview Melon, probably the best one I've seen Julian give.
