"I'm just an actor, playin' _Lou Reed_ right now!"
Julian's so incredibly kind, doesn't wanna deceive anyone!

Julian casablancas doing lou reed at the opening of a levi's store is the most nyc thing that has ever happened

[specter]

you can clearly hear the velvet underground influence in the strokes, so this was cool to see.

Smooth exit knocking the mic stand over.
What a legend.

Julian is todays Lou, two insanely talented and amazing people.

Best singer and composer of our times!

When he bows to everyone is such a sweet gesture ( :

[DlomedeS]

The best poet of indie music currently, performing the masterpiece of one of the greatest indie poet ever. Anything else?

When the Strokes first came out I was a little slow in getting into them, Room on fire was the first l.p I got, which I loved.

I saw an interview with Jules saying he saw Lou in a restaurant once but was too shy to say hello.
(This was early in the Strokes career I think.)

Well Lou's influence is obvious to hear, but Jules is absolutely amazing in his own right.

Saw the Voidz twice this year and just had the best time.

Anyway, loved this version and i'm pretty sure Lou would love Jules work if he wasn't aware of it in his life.

Two of the great New York poets for sure.

Viva LR & JC!

[xxexcorcistofjennifercarpe]

He knocked the microphone down as he passed by, leaving the stage. shadows never go away

[denisegalipeau]

Absolutely perfect rendition. Julian is GOD.

[internetsummoner]

Lmao, when Jules knocks down the mic stand there is some noise that just makes the experience funny 😆

[iamcassiem]

Wtf I was listening to Lou reed a while ago and I was like omg is this Julian? They sound very similar specially towards the end of the sentence you know? Def big influence on Julian on the voidz I think mostly and the last the strokes album

[marceloferreira]

Que versão maravilhosa! Sua voz é um sofá macio que nos convida, não a sentar-se, mas deitar-se.
