Don't know if any of you luvvies have seen this already (I canny be arsed to check! 
) but over on The Strokes official website, Tour Manager Richard has added yet more to his always stirling tour diary.
A wee bit down the page is his account of the boys visit to Nashville and as one would expect, Kings of Leon get a mention; in particular that ever so intriguing baseball game that went on between the two. Observe:
"Albert and Julian flew ahead to Nashville the day before the show so they could hang out with the Kings of Leon...
...After the show we threw a surprise birthday party for Juliet at the hotel. I got the Kings of Leon to help blow up balloons and hang decorations. Everybody loves a party, right? Especially with balloons. And a big cake...
...On Tuesday we played baseball with the Kings of Leon. It took a while to decide on teams but in the end we rejected The Strokes VS The Kings and euphemistically chose Nashville vs New York. The Kings had some tasty looking baseball caps and they were definitely the better attired team, although The Strokes have all their own catcher's mitts...
...Fab tore his pants and his knee sliding for a base. Julian and I collided trying to catch the same ball (I never understood how this happened when I saw it on TV. Now I know). Ryan and Nathan respectively pitched for each team until Julian pitched for New York during the eighth. Caleb hit hard but was caught out each time by T R Lewis. Nick Valensi played some good third base and Fab covered the outfield while Julian fielded at second base. It was (mostly) even-stevens until the eighth innings when the Kings caught a break and tore ahead to win the game. I don't think we need to concern ourselves with final scores here, do we? I mean, who cares? Although history may be written by the victors you're reading this on the Strokes website so we shan't be vulgar and discuss scores here. Not until we beat them next time, in the new branded apparel we're going to get ourselves."
No doubt all that baseball jargon seems like a foreign language to my fellow Brits out there, but I'm sure we can all take from it that a jolly time was had by all
Certainly made me chuckle
That is all xxx
