Strokes Unveil New Video for "You Only Live Once"

I had been somewhat unimpressed with the newer videos by the Strokes. For their latest album, 2006's First Impressions of Earth, they opted to leave Roman Coppola, who had directed the videos for their seminal hit "Last Nite," as well as "Hard to Explain" and the Tron-inspired "12:51". Unfortunately, not even the inclusion of David Cross could save the surprisingly bland video for First Impressions single "Juicebox." Follow-up videos for "Heart in a Cage" and "You Only Live Once" were also decidedly uninteresting. Fortunately, the Strokes have bounced back with this new, alternate video for "You Only Live Once," directed by Warren Fu. The video is drenched in 2001: A Space Odyssey references (always a good thing in my book), and it also harkens back to their video for the single "The End Has No End," which was also very 2001-esque. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I got tired of this video automatically starting every time I opened up my blog. You can view the video here.
