I guess we shouldn’t expect a new Strokes album until late ’08, at the earliest. Here’s more via NME: *Albert Hammond, Jr. is gearing up to record his second album, news that further confirms The Strokes indefinite hiatus. The Strokes guitarist-turned-solo-star has scheduled five weeks at Electric Lady studios in New York to record the follow-up to ‘Yours To Keep’. Hammond has previewed several new tracks at recent live shows including ‘In My Room’ and an as-yet untitled track. In a message posted on Myspace, Hammond promised that some of the recording will be filmed and shown on his MySpace page.*

MP3: The Strokes – The End Has No End

First a tourbus fire, then their luggage was stolen and now this!

Albert and the gang were just involved in a high speed car chase, seemingly straight out of a movie set!! Here’s more via his MySpace page:

“It turned out that the cops had been chasing a suspect in a pickup truck in a high speed chase a la OJ Simpson since the Texas state border. It seemed that the pickup was going to get away until he came into contact with youknowwho (us). It appeared that since our trailer has such a wide load-though sadly no such bumper sticker yet-we proved an obstacle passed which no mere pickup truck could speed ahead! But those crazy criminals will do anything to get a laugh, won’t they.

Those knuckleheads smashed into our trailer and spun out of control, crashing into the side ramp, and awaited their vacation in the Texas State Penitentiary . Book ‘em, boys!”
