We’ve hope you’ve enjoyed following the “ vs. Brunch” scandal as much as we have. And if you haven’t, allow us to catch you up.
In an , Casablancas was quoted saying, I don’t know how many, like, white people having brunch I can deal with on a Saturday afternoon.”
Well, after Twitter lashed out at Casablancas as being anti-brunch, he responded in another , defending his love of brunch and bashing the GQ reporter.
“God, that quote. People are mad about it! Itap so true, but I guess you can’t say it. That GQ reporter was bogus, anyway. He was a total part-of-the-problem yuppie guy,” Casablancas said
Monday afternoon, Casablancas went on what he called a Twitter rant to deliver a statement on brunch, and also address Strokes relations and some thoughts on journalism.
Here’s his rant:

…with music journalism, like in most arts, there are definitely many very good ones and few great ones

ps should twitter invert their order so the last twits are at the bottom (so you can read them downwards/normally?)
— Julian Casablancas (@Casablancas_J)

unless it’s on purpose as part of their originality, in which case i should be ignored
(as i should be anyway on this)
