The record also features guest appearances from Strokes mainman Julian Casablancas, Sean Lennon, Ben Kweller, Mooney Suzuki's Sammy James Jr, Fountains Of Wayne's Jody Porter and Strokes manager Ryan Gentles. The tracklisting for the record is as follows:

Cartoon Music For Superheroes (Goodnight)
In Transit
Everyone Gets A Star

Blue Skies
Back To The 101
Bright Young Things
Scared
Holiday

I don't know man, Ben Kweller and somebody from the strokes, those are two ingredients for a great song.

I don't mind solo albums as long as the band stays together.

Ben Kweller, Sammy, and a Strokes member. Sounds semi-orgasmic.

I very much doubt this will mean the end of The Strokes (hope to god it isn't). I think there's got a few more albums up their sleeves plus they're still having a good time which is the most important thing.

I hope he sing a few tracks too, but apparently he's a pretty great Guitar and Piano player too.
