I'll Try Anything Once (But I'm Still Going with the Demo)


“I’ll Try Anything Once” is an early demo of what would eventually become The Stroke’s “You Only Live Once” off their third LP “First Impressions of Earth.”   This early version has been a fan favorite for ages and was released as a b-side on the “Heart in a Cage” single, but it’s hard to find and isn’t featured on iTunes or other online music retailers.  Recently, Julian Casablancas has released an EP entitled “Live from Electric Lady Studios, WRXP New York,” which features a live recording.  However, the latest take lacks the intimacy that is one of the demo’s main attractions.  Sofia Coppola agrees, choosing the demo version as the main musical accompaniment for the trailer of her latest film "Somewhere."
