Local Anesthesia: Rebel radio Paul Hullabloo shakes up the airwaves by BOB GULLA

When we bummed a light off a bored-looking kid in a prep-school jacket out in front of Davis Square's now-defunct Gallery Bershad a couple of years back, we hadn't the faintest idea he was in the band we were there to see. And even after we dug Julian Casablancas's Lou Reed/Iggy Pop/David Johansen impersonation, we figured the Strokes would be lucky to sell a few thousand records. So we're idiots, but though hipsters have now abandoned them as overhyped, we're still on the bandwagon. And we're still amazed that the Strokes have come as far as they have. Sure, we facetiously described the White Stripes/Strokes debate as the Beatles/Stones argument of our time, but we didn't think the Strokes would actually end up opening for the Rolling Stones, which they'll do beginning next Saturday, October 5, at the Hartford Civic Center (860-249-6333). In the meantime, the Strokes are wrapping up their biggest headline tour to date with gigs at the State Theater (207-780-8265) in Portland on Tuesday and the FleetBoston Pavilion (617-931-2000) on Wednesday with Sloan and the Realistics.
