Alongside 1967 as the year of the counterculture and 1976 as the year of punk, 2008 will go down in history of the year of the side project. Hell, even the solo artists are doing side projects.

Figure out your strengths on your own, before they get back together. This might bring a bit of something to the next Strokes album. Who knows?
