About global consciousness, and Julian question at the end, i believe the human race is a seven billion (and counting) head hydra, with roots that mesh together. I believe Jung writes about that.

But nooow. I think it just wasn't habitual. After like 7 episodes I've started loving it so much. No doubt, I love it. This song in the beginning.. and the visuals are prepossesing. They're warm and associate with something homey. They don't feel cheesy (insincere) or anything like this. That's the real Strokes. This nitro is natural and.. well, gorgeous. Good job, Johnny Chew!
