It's incredibly hard to believe it's been ten years since the formation of both the ATP Festivals and iconic New York band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. So someone, somewhere thought it'd be a good idea to have a celebration of both.
With their latest gramophone recording in tow, It's Blitz! (TMT Review) (currently available to you via Sears Roebuck and Co. Fall Catalog, no. MUS-176-B), American flapper mainstay Karen O and her two gentlemen escorts in the popular new 'Jazz'- and 'Ragtime'-influenced Yeah Yeah Yeahs Traveling Music Company and Medicine Show are setting sail for a 14-date limited engagement exhibition of the...
L.A. Boxers (from Croydon – the less beachy, less sunny and not-run-by-The-Terminator version of California). These guys are currently unsigned but this is there new single “Bass Warfare” is being given away for free and it kills it with some dirty low-end and some menacing militaristic vocals.L.A. Boxers – Bass Warfare.mp3BONUSChemical Brothers – Saturated (WoW [...]
The last time a big named decided to remix the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, it left a sour taste in my mouth. When I heard A-Trak dropped a killer remix of YYY’s “Heads Will Roll” at this year’s Lollapalooza, I knew I had to get my hands on it. Unfortunately, A-Trak has kept a tight lid [...]
Though they usually don't pop up until December, various music outlets are flooding the marketplace with their "best-of" lists a little early this year. The occasion? A chance to gauge the most "important" albums of this century's first decade. But just because a record is important, does that make it the best?

Two years ago when Radiohead suddenly dropped In Rainbows on us we sincerely thought it would be...
The first time I saw these guys was in 2006 at The Fillmore here in Denver they had just released sophomore album Show Your Bones.

Yesterday saw the release of mixes for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll," from Passion Pit, Tommie Sunshine, Little Vampire, and James Iha. Of the four, my favorite is Tommie Sunshine's reworking (listen via RCRD LBL), which isn't much of a surprise since I dug his remix of the band's "Y Control." Still do.As I said in an earlier post ("Everything's Gone Sheen"), the original version of "H...
'Do you want to?' ask Franz Ferdinand as they launch into a crowd-pleasing set of anthems… Well, yes I do, but I'd rather go see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, quite frankly.Not that there's anything wrong with Alex Kapranos and co, of course, but as Karen O emerged onto the NME Stage like some spectacular mash-up of Red Indian and nu-rave, there's few other places you'd want to be.She casted aside the brig.
