Julian Casablancas Sings “Out of the Blue” on Letterman [Video]

The sad news of the day is that the Strokes might possibly hate dislike not feel like brothers to one another, but the good news? Frontman Julian Casablancas has stopped dancing and he’s now ready to stand still (sort of) while singing like the leather-clad, Manhattanite rocker he was born to be.

I’m not being facetious or snarky here, people: this is the J.C. that I and many of those “Best of the Decade” list-makers once dug and have since come to worship.

Watch him perform Phrazes For The Young’s opening track, “Out of the Blue,” here or below (via TAP).
