mixtape maestro (2.0)

What will you come away with after listening to “Boombox”, a two-or-three giggle-inducing (Fingerless gloves! HA!!!), “cautionary tale” collaboration between SNL-affiliated funnymen The Lonely Island and Strokes’ frontman Julian Casablancas (from the trio’s new release, Incredibad)?

• An undying need for some accompanying visuals.
• Re-assertion that whether played dead-serious or for laughs, White boy raps on electro-dance records will never transcend hopeless corniness.
• The inability to get the imagined stench of “bland sauerkraut and boiled goose” from out of your nostrils.
• The re-invigorated wish for track-stealer Casablancas and Co. to deliver us a new Strokes album…like immediately.
• Fond memories of “The Bartman”, followed by the oh-so-depressing realization that yes…you are old.
