YES! But I see no reference to Supergrass in the profile.
Why does this sound so familiar?

I gotta heap mighty praise upon RP for turning me onto the nice new Strokes effort, and I am thrilled they are rocking again! This thing has grown on me like moss on the north side of an old tree! I love that WICKED blistering guitar ripping out of the speakers, and I'm rockin' out to it here big-time at the old Mac-top!
I was fortunate enough to clamber all over that ancient Inca retreat for Royal elites a few years ago, and though, like Bill said, who can have any idea why they named it that? unless it refers to some amazing ROCK-work that seems deceptively simple but was definitely hewn and fitted like none other... but I'm able get back up there in my mind any time I hear this, and for that I'm eternally grateful! Let's rock this bad boy often!



Comments like this bring me so much joy: a near 15-year-old track and comment when this was brand new, being able to see the excitement of it being in the rotation for the first time... let along the decade+ run. May RP Rule Eternally For Us All!

I bought this album when it came out and really liked it, especially this song. Then a week or so later I had a mild stroke. I then decided that The Strokes was destined to be my favorite band.  Maybe that was the stroke talking, though.

I love it. "Wearing a jacket made of meat".  Love these guys. Especially their quirky guitars. Saw them open for the RHCP's last year in a stadium in Charlotte. Very good. And I digged Julian's solo album as well.

No need to pretend - previous comment was not inaccurate.  From Wikipedia:

"Lead singer-songwriter Julian Casablancas, guitarist Nick Valensi, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti started playing together as teenagers while attending Dwight School in Manhattan, and formed an informal band in 1997. They later added bassist Nikolai Fraiture to their ranks, a close childhood friend of Casablancas who had attended the Lycée Français de New York with him. At the end of 1998, the group invited guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. to play with them. He had just moved to New York City and reconnected with Casablancas, whom he knew from their brief stints at the private boarding school Institut Le Rosey, near Nyon, Switzerland. The two soon became roommates."

I've always loved the jamming guitars, the wicked builds and pauses, and angsty, fuzzy sounds of this, and the title and lyrics do make me contemplate the whole Machu Picchu mystique...an endless, relentless search for meaning to correspond to apparent present realities as well as the imagined ancient ones... Are there any answers we can accurately grasp? Even having been there, and having studied it, I'm not sure... I can say, though, that just like this interesting, incredibly creative song from this essentially seminal group:

Where do you listen ska-influence here in this song? 
What kind of ska did you hear before? 
 
I was referring to the offset bass line phrases and the guitars and keyboards playing on the up-beat (2 and 4 beats) during the verses.  I guess that's technically more "quasi-reggae" influence than ska. If you played a guitar or bass you would understand what I meant.  Anyhow, I only said "ska-influenced", I didn't say it sounded like Prince Buster or Desmond Dekker.

Selling your body to the street
Selling your girlfriends to the night, for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
And now you've heard that...
Waves turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's on USA
Platinum's on the rise
Playboys in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours, it's someone else's voice
And now you see that
Blondes turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's on USA
Porn's on the rise
Psycho's in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb
Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us
They're gonna be oh so jealous
We're gonna be oh so silent
They're gonna be stoned on silence
I didn't want to ask you baby, I didn't want to ask anybody baby
Is anyone asking maybe?
Can anyone even hear me/this shit?
Why are you waiting beyond the door?
Life turns to dust
And rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth
And money pays for the lies we trust
Your love is a surprise
Homeless saints are in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A nice place for you and I

My theory about the song name - they threw dice and looked up a page in an encyclopedia or dictionary, since song names that actually match words in the song are so painfully obvious and uncool.  Same school of thought as Smashing Pumpkin's "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" which should have been called "Rat in a Cage".

I LOVED that game.  I rented it once from our local video store and just never returned it.  Luckily for me, it was bought out by a chain place a couple months later, so I got away with it.  Of course, that was in the very early 90's I think.

I recently came upon an emulator and ROM of the game, so I can play it on my computer anytime I want.  As a matter of fact...  I may go play it now.

 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival a few weeks ago. Nothin' fancy about the stage presence, but a great show! On second thought, it was mid 80's and Casablancas wore a black leather jacket on stage. Not bad when you're riding a bike, but under the stage lights? Also seemed unclear on the pedigree and purpose of the Fest, making several derisive cracks about Jazz during the band's set. Delivered a solid performance though, and probably got schooled a bit before they left town.

So 7 from the Nottingham jury if only out of relief that this isn't TH. Nice Escher cover, too. Shouldn't the title be spelt Macchu Picchu, or is that a deliberate typo?
