I had a new girlfriend, and we listened to Is This It all the time. Our love story was based on this album. When we play some songs live, I can feel that some people are seeing parts of their past again— they remember what they were doing when they first heard the song. Being a musician is such a good job, your music is the soundtrack of a lot of people’s lives.

The Strokes could make a great album right now, but if it’s just the same thing, what’s the point? I know when we did Moon Safari, it was like, “OK, if people like that, they will listen to it forever. We don’t need to make another one.” The Strokes’ first album is perfect like it is. They don’t need to make another one of those.

This is a great interview. Also reminds me of how bummed I am that I missed out on seeing Coeur de Pirate on Friday, could have used a shot of nostalgia for sitting in that apartment in Angers at 3am.
