Go Go Karen O, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and IT's BLITZ

Since the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are HUGE fans of MusikBLITZ, they've named their forthcoming record (April 14th) It's BLITZ. Ok, thats not why they titled the album that, but that would be pretty cool wouldn't it? I assume the title has something to do with Karen O getting out of Dirty Jerzey / Williamsburg Brooklyn and moving to La La Land a few years ago and becoming all zen and shit.

Anyhoo, i heard the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - this album is a follow up to 2006's Show Your Bones and the band is featured on the cover of the March issue of SPIN magazine for the third time...kick ass. According to SPIN, YYY's guitarist Nick Zinner is pretty much ditching guitars for synths. I can't say how i feel about this until i hear the album in its entirety.

What's more exciting is the YYY's have posted a cover of the Ramones classic, "Sheena is a Punk Rocker," which appears on a charity album called War Child: Hereos compilation which also features a Blondie cover by Franz Ferdinand.



Speaking of the Ramone's remember when Rayanne Graff from My So Called Life (FAVORITE SHOW in High School!!!) freaked out on stage while doing a cover of "I Wanna Be Sedated??" I'd post the footage here but it's not available due to stupid "terms of use violation."
