Its getting increasingly hard to pick Fan Book of the day entries, they're all so good! Today's is from Sarah Samosir in Australia :)


""Is This It" is the crazy little album that changed my perspective on music. It convinced me that good music doesn't always have to be from the past, from the legends, and that it is still possible to create amazing tunes in the 2000s. I know it sounds cliche and cheesy, but the album really did help me through some tough shit. I'd just switch on "The Modern Age" or "Take It or Leave It" and let the juicey rock and roll goodness blast my woes away. One new years eve spent deep in the shittiness of the tough shit that I mentioned before, I was at Falls Festival in Australia and was frightened that the new year to come would be just as bad. But as the count down finally past, and all the crowed cheered and wished each other a happy new year, the DJ began playing "Last Nite" and it was like none of the bad stuff mattered anymore. The Strokes have influenced my life more than any other band, and I'll be blasting your tunes when I'm old and grey and hooked up to an oxygen tank. You guys are amazing, please continue to make more beautiful, beautiful sounds!"
