Ok so as you guys know I have been a lazy ass and haven't made any posts in April 'cause of final exams, graduation, celebrating, and yada yada yada. I'll be doing super super quick reviews (like seriously under 100 words probsies) on Yeah Yeah Yeah's It's Blitz! , Boy Least Likely To's Law of the Playground , Camera Obscura's My Maudlin Career , and Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix . Short and sweet just 'cause these bands have been blogged about like crazy for the past little while already and I'd rather cover albums that have [...]
We're big fans of Designer Drugs around here, but their latest remix is pretty over-the-top fantastic. It prominantly features the main theme of Tchaikovsky's March Slav , which is the first Classical reference I can think of in blog house history (correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to be wrong on this). They even auto-tuned Karen O's hook to match. Since we're music nerds with a fondness for the low-brow, this is like Christmas morning. Never in my life did I expect to hear ODB chant "Wu. Tang." over Tchaikovsky. Thank you, Designer [...]

Whether you know the from hearing their many singles on the radio, caught their performance of "Zero" on SNL , or you just happened to learn of them from playing "Maps" on Rockband, it is hard to not like the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs once you learn of them. Live they are even more impressive than they are on recording thanks to front woman Karen O . Yeah Yeahs Yeahs have just announced a string of U.S. tour dates to support the release of [...]

Image via Stereogum Yall. I'm kinda worried. I saw this picture of a female lead singer of an alternative band. I am sort of scared that all female 'front men' are morphing in2 1 person. Just worried that the 'personal brand' of a female lead singer is becoming 'kinda predictable.' Not sure if this is Lovefoxxx / Karen O / Bjork / Be th Ditto . Feel like the modern image of a 'female lead singer in an alternative band' [...]

Jimi Hendrix declaró en su famosa canción "Wild Thing" que aquello que hacia a su corazón cantar y a todas las cosas parecerle groovy, era precisamente esa 'cosa salvaje'. Para todos los que tuvimos la fortuna de leer (o que nos leyeran) el libro "Donde Viven Los Monstruos" (Where The Wild Things Are) del autor Maurice Sendak, identificarnos con este sentimiento nos resulta fácil. El libro (que trata de un niño que es castigado y, al subir a su cuarto, se [...]
Remixes can sometimes be more than just a tinkering of a tune. Many times a song is so altered that it barely resembles the original, and in some cases not at all. You'd be hard pressed to find similarities between the two. Often I wonder why a remix then? If one changes a song completely, isn't it just a new track on it's own? Such is the case with the remixes for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs ' “Zero”. I’ve never been a huge Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan, but their single "Zero" [...]
by neil roberts One of the most talked about albums of the year was on live display Sunday night as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs played their first full performance in support of It's Blitz! at Santos Party House . Slightly less irreverent and with a quiet focus, Karen O continued her weekend onslaught on the album's nonbelievers. She gave the crowd what they wanted screaming through classics from Fever to Tell and Show Your Bones but the manner in which new [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! words: Christian Ritter I like The Killers’ ‘Day & Age’. I like Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’. I’m sure I would have even loved it if I was alive when Bob Dylan went electric. Therefore I am not one to disown a band as soon as they do anything remotely different, which, it could be argued, is what Yeah Yeah Yeahs have done with their third effort. They may lose a few fans with their new, mature album ‘It’s Blitz!’, but those [...]
Where the Wild Things Are Trailer Ok I know this was news like two weeks ago but better late than never right? p.s. two weeks is a great Grizzly bear song. If you haven't heard about this already and were once a child, chances are you will love this. The unbelievably exciting combination of Spike [...]
Los integrantes de Yeah Yeah Yeahs revelaron que están sorprendidos de todavía seguir juntos después de 9 años. Hablando con la BBC Newsbeat el guitarrista de la banda, Nick Zinner , comentó que es realmente abrumador cuando uno piensa que estuvo junto casi una década. "Nunca pensé que ibamos a seguir tocando juntos después de nueve años". Además Karen O , la frontman del grupo, también estuvo hablando sobre el nuevo disco, It's Blitz! y aseguró que no se trata de un disco [...]
