Karen O is an Oscar nominee. That is badass. Her track for Spike Jonze’s Her, entitled “The Moon Song,” is up for Best Original Song at this year’s Oscars. Karen O wrote the music, while Jonze contributed some of the lyrics. Though I haven’t seen the film yet, the song sounds pretty magical. It’s a…
There were so many assclowns in music this year that it was almost exhausting. Miley got naked and stuck her tongue out, Robin Thicke got his thunder stolen, and Kanye said…I don’t actually know what he said because I didn’t understand any of it. I presume some shitty Pop-Country crossover tunes were made and some…
That was the longest headline ever, but it’s TRUE. Karen O, Brian Chase and Nick Zinner have transcended the ground us mere mortals traverse on, so they needed to do something that’s never been done before in a music video ever. Hellooooo, New York. The track is for their new single off of this year’s…
Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ new album Mosquito hits stores (and Spotify) next week, but you can stream it today for free! The band’s fourth full-length is mellower than expected, but it’s still kooky as hell. It’s got a gospel choir on the lead single “Sacrilege,” sounds of a subway car thundering down a track on “Subway”,…

Talk about a cover, man. Yeah Yeah Yeahs fourth album, entitled Mosquito, is finito and set for release on April 16th through Interscope. The album was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio and Nick Launay, and also features a song produced by James Murphy. Hell to the YES. “The album is extremely…
The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album “It’s Blitz” has been released, and The Littlest Winslow gives it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. If you’re not into YYY by now, I’m not sure if you ever will be. Karen O’s screeching, in your face approach, backed with Nick Zinner’s sometimes grungey/sometimes industrial guitar playing makes for…
Paste has the hook up right here. It’s called “Zero” and has a very 80’s/New Wave feel to it. The new album, “It’s Blitz!” is out April 14th. Tracklist: 1. Zero 2. Heads Will Roll 3. Soft Shock 4. Skeletons 5. Dull Life 6. Shame and Fortune 7. Runaway 8. Dragon Queen 9. Hysteric 10.…
