It was all just a dream.

Hi, Hello!
I know that I have been out of the blogging loop for some time now, as you can see. I started my new job and I am still being cautious about blogging. Also I am not as bored and hateful now that I need to rebel and spend my time on the internet. The only reason that I am blogging is to feed my "unhealthy obsession" with the strokes. I have been listening nonstop to the 5 leaked tracks (Juicebox, You Only Live Once, 15 Minutes, The Other Side and Razorblade). And instead of linking you to the downloads (you can find those on the message board) I have decided to share with you the set list from the Brazil show. I am eagerly awaiting US tour dates, and the album release on January 3.
