I am not a fan of The Strokes, they're ok though, but hey I am big sucker for doomsday scenarios. Born in the same year of the Cuba crisis (does anyone remember?), getting into teen adulthood in the 'No Nukes' Eighties (aw... volatile pity, soddy character me, always prone to expect the inevitable in the very soon future with the grandeur of instant annihilation, so why bother to study, so why getting a career, why grow up, all that no future crap that still makes me kinda nostalgic for firm what's the point, lets get over with it believes, the 'better be red then dead' mumbles, the easy new wave shrug of nothing matters that for some reason made me quite attractive on friday 'no way I am dancing' evenings) so yeah, what else to expect?

Ah well, of course this video is heavily based on Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey ('68), which is kinda the only nice SciFi film (the original Solaris ('68) and Soylent Green ('73) as a nice backup) they ever made.
