Julian Casablancas is half American and half Danish and the son of John Casablancas and Jeanette Christiansen. His parents divorced when he was young. He attended kindergarten with future bandmate Nikolai Fraiture.

Early in his teens, Julian's father sent him to the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland. This was where Julian first met Albert Hammond Jr., one of few other American students on campus.

When Casablancas returned to New York, he continued his education at the Dwight School, where he met Fabrizio Moretti and Nick Valensi. Julian later dropped out because he felt like he "just wasn't learning anything" there.

During his hiatus from The Strokes, he released a solo album called "Phrazes for the Young" on the 9th of November in 2009.

To date, the Strokes have released Is This It, Room on Fire, First Impressions of Earth, Angles, Comedown Machine and The New Abnormal.

If I'm gonna listen to anyone cover the Velvets, it's gonna be Julian Casablancas, even if I don't like it.

@MrTDEANT Took your first comment out of context, your second one clears it up. Haha agreed. Angles was meh and Comedown Machine was far better, but seemed like their best Phoenix impression. First three records were amazing. Wish they went back to that sound.

Julian's velvet underground covers are pretty good so far... let's hope the next strokes album sounds a little bit like it. Not that their albums are bad or anything... just saying

Roberto Sanchez there’s a bit in Why Are Sunday’s So Depressing where Julian sounds a lot like Lou. Otherwise it doesn’t really

Up all night playing music and I must have played it 3 times an hour... I couldn't keep myself from going back to it and feeling like how can this be? The Velvets are covered by everyone...and I thought that, even if the chosen song fits the band or soloist's unique sound perfectly, arranged smartly, produced well.... as good a cover as can be done, the original is never really equaled...right? Well I don't know about that now, this one isn't the original cut but it is just as tremendous and in its own way, nice no chintzy digital sound, It has some analogue balls. it would come through on an old hi-fi in vinyl extraordinarily well.

@112253506706678332831 This specific cover is drawn from the version Lou did for his Rock 'N' Roll Animal live album. Of course I know about the original, but i'm talking about the live version Lou did in 1975 after going solo.

With this song and that close-up of Richie Finestra free-falling into the new 70s, Vinyl sank its fangs into me. The show rocks, in every sense of the word.

Buena versión, pero Lou en Rock and Roll Animal es precisamente eso: un animal incontrolable y explosivo que desgarra las letras y las notas. La versión antes mencionada es mi droga. Lo siento por Julian, hizo buen trabajo , pero Lou es insuperable en esa presentación.

Yeah there is a part where the band plays a show in the episode.

I haven't watched it, but how does the cover fit into the series? It's just background music, or is someone pretending to be singing while this plays?

+bisquit adams their first albums, "Is This It", "Room on Fire" and "First Impressions of Earth" are incredibly amazing and brilliant. The last ones are a very different style, but it is still good. The Strokes are fantastic and they did miracles to the music of this generation.
