Exactly - beat me too it. He's got less than 3 hours of tunes down in about 8 years and he's fannying around with Mark Ronson eating barbecued dog. Sort it out - the time is right.

I paid $40 for a hot dog, I expected a whopper sized bun and dog with loads of chips. But he served me a cocktail size sausage. Infuriated I asked "Is this it?"

well, in Hollywood, for a $40 hot dog, you are only paying about $1.50 for the hot dog. The remaining money goes toward the privilege of being seen in such a "hip and cool" establishment.

if you put all the band's solo albums together, they easily outweigh the strokes' amount in minutes. The way albert's going, i almost don't even care if they make another record. have your fucking bbq julian. jesus christ.

Lets hope his food isnt like his music and gives you the shits. Personally I would rather suck the sweat from the balls of dead goats than listen to that little rich kid..............let alone eat in his glorified cafe. Twat.
