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.
