Don't forget to watch the new video and also don't forget to catch us on SNL this Saturday with host Miley Cyrus!

It's going to be a party in the US of A!

Albert, what are your thoughts on song leaks?I can't imagine you would be too fond of them....I'm currently 'Tumblr arguing' with a girl about being a loyal Strokes fan and waiting for UCoD to be released. She believes nothing to be wrong with illegally downloading it.I've got your back bro.

I don't like leaks. Emphasis on the word 'illegal' in "illegal downloading". We had it for free on our website for 48 hours, anyways, but I have a feeling this is an old message.

Wow, thank you so much.

New tour dates should be announced soon by Ryan. He doesn't trust me anymore with news from the band anymore.

can you deliver a message to julian for me when you have a minute, preferably transferred to the format of a ransom note "IF I CAN'T HAVE U....NO ONE CAN" and if you could splatter some blood on the paper as well i think that'd be a nice touch hey thanks albert you're the best!!!

Well this is a bit morbid....

heeyy albert :)just wanted to thank you and your lovely band for making such great music. and for just being awesome. i remember hearing "is this it" in 2001 when i was 7 years old, and it totally blew my mind even as a kid haha (and from there i was hooked on you guys). you all are such interesting and amazing people, and i'm so glad you've inspired me and tons of other people to play instruments, write music, or simply listen to more of your work. so thank you so much! i genuinely salute you for being the coolest man ever.and, of course, i'm insanely looking forward to your 4th album.

have nothing to ask ... stumbled across this site ... can't stop laughing my ass off over some of the questions asked of you!! Nice witty, evasive responses, tho! You should consider a career in politics -- I've worked for enough of them to know!!!

A politician? Oh dear, no.
