Cool music video post-of-the-day

"Reptilia", by The Strokes.  Unfortunately, ever since I played this song on guitar hero, it's the first thing I think of when I listen to the song.  But it's an all-Strokes playlist this weekend while I do my work. 

The Wikipedia story of the band cracks me up:

At age 13, [lead singer Julian] Casablancas was sent to Le Rosey, a boarding school in Switzerland to resolve his drinking problems and improve his academic performance. In Switzerland, Casablancas met guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr.

"drinking problems" by age 13!?  I guess there is a fine line between genius and madness.
