I don't listen to much rock n roll these days (still love the classics, just not much of an indie rock fan) with one exception: Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Karen, Nick and Brian bring so much energy and enthusiasm to each and every show no matter how long they've been on tour, no matter how sick they may be that day, no matter what else is going on in the world, they deliver 110% every time. Combined wi...

Karen Dancing In The Rain (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Osheaga 2009 Montreal) by Anirudh KoulRarely am I at a loss of words. Rarely is “wow” the only thing I am able to express audibly. “Hysteric,” when played live, is one of the few songs that make the words fall out of my head and out of [...]

So you probably know that tracks from the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album It's Bliz have leaked online. I may be in the minority but I am not liking the electronic direction, soundwise, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are experimenting with. Songs like Zero aren't doing it for me. I long for the days of "Maps" and even "Down Boy."I would love for Karen O to make a stripped down acoustic record. On the delxue edi...
