“unsmiling vanity on a striped pillow. Ecclesiastes 1:2”

I was just on Ezra’s Twitter to show my mom something random from his feed and I noticed for the first time that his background is an old 1980/90s ad for the clothing designer Alexander Julian. 

Alexander Julian is my high school best friend’s father and I grew up partying at his house.

“I like The Strokes. In a certain sense a lot of the music that influences us is pop music. So I always admire people who write good catchy pop songs and I think The Strokes are a great example of that. I think a lot of bands copied them in bad ways and made worse versions of it. But yeah The Strokes… It’s almost incredible how good a mind they have for writing pop songs.”

- Ezra Koenig

This has been on my dash about 40 times today yet for some reason I didn’t take the time to read the actual quote…and I always read everything on my dash.
