Thanks are once more due to Stereogum (afterall, t’was they brought me that picture of massively dead, Rick James’ gravestone) who posted this cover of the Strokes’ Reptilia by Howie Beck.

That track was always a stand out on Room on Fire for me (and the video was dope see it on youtube right now) but this version strips it right back to its jerky, insistant chord progression exposing the ridonkulously infectious melodic hook and fuzzy soho late night lyrics.

Check Mister Beck on his myspace page.
And help yourself to a slice of reptilia pie here.
