On the CD's languid title track, frontman and songwriter Julian Casablancas croons sweetly, if a bit cryptically, sounding as though he's singing a song you're sure you know through a transistor radio with a dying battery. Throughout "Is This It," the band lights on the most elemental kinds of progressions (see also "the Feelies") and then proceeds to milk them for all they're worth. Unlike the artsy punks in Television, though, the Strokes mostly stick to the basics with their guitars-bass-and-drums musical attack, frequently trimming the excesses of three-chord rock-and-roll simply by playing just two chords. The list of obvious influences should also include punk-era greats the Jam and, especially, the legendary Television, with whom the Strokes share an obsession with ringing upper-register riffs and plenty of East Village hipster credibility - at least for the time being. Psst - the Strokes sound like the Velvet Underground, pass it on.Īll of which happen to be true. Psst - the Strokes sound like the Fall, pass it on.
Some have been trying, it's true, playing a musical game of telephone that's only accelerated the hype, word-of-mouth-style: Psst - the Strokes sound like Pavement, pass it on. It's also pretty derivative, as any MP3-downloading music geek could have told you months ago. Which is really too bad - the album actually is pretty great. Now Rolling Stone is calling the album "the stuff of which legends are made," while the more modest Esquire opines merely that the disc is "what all garage bands should struggle toward." The way Time sees it, the band's melodies "stay with you like tattoos." Buzz, like speed, can kill, and a Mack truck of hyperbole has just slammed into the Strokes. music press conferred Next Big Thing status on the group. Just as the New York City band of early-twentysomethings releases its debut disc, "Is This It," the rock-and-roll hype machine shifts into overdrive. pack_request ( request_message ) received_request, client_auth_key, server_reply_handler = server.

None if client authentication is not used) and a function that can be used to pack the reply message into anĮncrypted packet. The PSSSTServer class provides the unpack_request() method this takes an encrypted request packet as its soleĪrgument and returns a tuple containing the decrypted request message, the authenticated client public key (or The PSSSTClient class provides the pack_request() method this takes the request message as its sole argumentĪnd returns a tuple of the encrypted and packed packet and a function that can be used to unpack the reply to that
Each of these classes offer only one method.

A client is represented by an instance of the PSSSTClient class PSSST is designed to provide a light weight way for clients to securely communicate with servers. This module implements the PSSST protocol and provides a very simple interface for client and server endpoints. Complete API documentation can be found at ReadTheDocs.
