DIFFERENT STROKES
Keith Harris's review of the Strokes was nothing short of brilliant ["Arty Pop Stars Bust Their Asses," October 29-November 4]. A thorough, analytical summary of why the Strokes are important, what their role is in today's music scene, and who their influences are will surely aid readers in their understanding of this band. He did omit one minor detail: What does the record sound like? Call me old-fashioned, but I think a lot of people might be interested in their sound as much as their "aloof slouch."

CORRECTION
Ed Halter's review of Cinematexas [October 8-14] credited Learning Stalls as a videotape by Torsten Burns. The tape is an equal collaboration of Darrin Martin and Burns.
