The city's guitars lay choked by a digital fog, or else they lay dustily forgotten. Then, in 2002, an unbridled five-song EP by an unknown band brought noise, sex, passion, and mayhem back to the stage and to the stereo. The band's name evoked the kid who knows that whoever's in charge is full of s**t -- "yeah, yeah, yeah" -- but it also rang with the affirmation of pure rock and roll: F**k yeah! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' first full-length album, Fever to Tell, was simultaneously filthy, infectious, sloppy, and brilliant. You could dance to it, and you could probably die to it. "Maps" was nominated for a Grammy, and the record went gold in the UK.
　　
　　The Yeah Yeah Yeahs spawned a new breed of power trio. They work together as a single organism, but each member maintains their own personality and contributes their own strengths. Think of them as a three-piece Earth, Wind, and Fire. On second thought, it's probably better if you didn't do that. Brian Chase's drumming couldn't be tighter or more precise, even as the band descends into the pitch-dark caves of noise he frequents in his free-jazz spare time--and one can hear rigor and experiment behind even his simplest, no-frills (or -fills) rhythms. Nick Zinner's guitar pushes back--hard--against Chase's formalism, grounding the group in rock and roll at its ballsiest, dirtiest, and most shredly. His soaring, sometimes grinding lines are wires connecting Chase's drums to the psychologically kaleidoscopic vocals of Karen O, who, as the New Yorker has noted, would have been a success "had she appeared with nothing more than a microphone and a pair of maracas."
　　
　　The band developed an itchy and unshakeable aversion to repeating itself. It would have been easy enough to record another spastic, live-sounding garage album after the success of Fever, but their next full-length, 2007's Show Your Bones, added acoustic guitar and more serious compositions that picked up on the direction suggested by a song like "Maps." Rolling Stone called the record a "textural triumph," and the group honed their legendary stage performance -- one cannot understand the Yeah Yeah Yeahs without seeing Karen O writhing and thriving onstage. A handful of great songs that didn't make it onto Bones became tour staples (and fan favorites), and the band sat down with the celebrated PiL/Slits/Gang of Four producer Nick Launay to record 2007's EP Is Is.
　　
　　Last year, the Yeahs shook their Etch A Sketch® clean to start work on a new record with producers Dave Sitek and Nick Launay. "We usually go into these things totally blind," Karen O said. "We have no idea what's going to happen when we sit down." This empty page feeling was helped by geography: they began writing the record in the middle of a snowstorm, in a hundred-year-old barn in rural Massachusetts. "You looked out the window and it was just pastures and pastures of snow-covered fields," she said. Zinner had brought along a synthesizer to work with during the writing session, not expecting it to end up on the album. "That was an old keyboard I bought on eBay," he said. "Literally, it was the first day we were setting up, plugging things in. Ten minutes later, we'd written that song 'Skeletons.'" The song--and the whole record--have a new feeling of space and atmosphere that's unusual for the band. "Obviously, synths have been in rock music forever," Zinner says. "But to us it feels new, which is all we really care about--that excitement."
　　
　　It's Blitz! signals both a glance backward and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Zinner's vintage Arp--the same model used on records by The Cars, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk--contributes atmospheric washes ("Skeletons"), disco wiggles ("Dance till you're dead!" Karen sings on "Heads Will Roll"), and New Wave melodrama ("Soft Shock"). The first single, "Zero," combines all these elements to create a dance-floor anthem that sings directly to the listener. "We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things," O said. That's something I'll never be able to shake in the music I write. It's almost feels like a John Hughes 80s movie." But acknowledging the past in this way doesn't sound make for a nostalgic-sounding album. "I think there's a cool stability reflected in this record," Brian Chase says. "It reflects our transformation, and how we've developed as people."

03年的红衣女郎与两片绿叶，我仍记得。
贱贱。(没有未来)

2003年夏天，我路过学校门口的书店，发现自己口袋里有20块钱，便决定进去看一看有没有合自己心意的杂志，对于那时来说20块钱是可以买任何杂志的，而现在买书俨然已经成为了一件奢侈的行为，人头脑越来越简单也逐渐成为必然一个趋势。进到书店首先映入眼帘的便是03年7月号的《通俗歌曲》，封面特别的招人，一个穿大红色斜肩裙...... (29回应)

鼓手牛b啊
muddy(walk on!!!)

在个性那么张扬的乐队里，鼓手要找准自己的定位应该是很难的，然而brian的表现让我眼前一亮，不紧不慢的节奏，阴柔的台风，个性反差使得三个人的搭配张力十足，非常聪明的成就了这支乐队。网上了查了下发现brian是爵士鼓手出身，果然是，功夫在诗外，它山之石可以攻玉，厉害厉害。顺便想说，看到有人骂yyys没内涵，我觉得...... (1回应)

这不是一篇乐评
Cindy(Summer Melancholy)

"I'm missing the 2003 Yeah Yeah Yeahs like fuck." 我修改好QQ签名，对着这行字发了一会儿呆。 Yeah Yeah Yeahs是我最喜欢的朋克乐队、最喜欢的女声乐队，Karen O是我的头号女偶像。早在后街还是我的天下的时候见过几张YYYs的照片，就觉得Brian...... (1回应)

只想说几句
黑鸽子

这张唱片带给了我一种惊喜的感觉。之前实在是没想到YYY会创作出一张融入那么多电音的东西，甚至“Skeleton”让我感觉到了类似Mogwai的那种后摇气质，音乐的氛围里包含着隐隐的张力。我想就像唱片的封面设计一样,他们正不断尝试着突破自己，把听众对他们一贯的联想和自身创作的桎梏捏个粉碎。其实Karen O的声线...... (2回应)

"If they can do it, so can we!"
小信猪(http://faithpigmj.blogspot.com)

"If they can do it, so can we!" 这句话就是耶耶耶乐团的主唱Karen O在一次访问中留下的真言。我想用它来形容全新专辑的音乐方针最贴切不过了。这个来自纽约城市的人气团体早前推出了一张EP和一张完整的摇滚专辑。其EP[Fever to Tell]表现出强烈的庞克摇滚风格，迅速地引起了......

Don't runaway
灵(曾经是个好孩子。)

gossip girl中 C终于面对自己曾经的年少轻狂，终于向J道了歉。背景音乐是Runaway 他们的音乐是很有特色的。就像Keane的那样，只不过是不同的风格。不过他们这样的风格还是很受大众喜爱的。据说在优酷上很火爆。只是，可惜的是我消息来源范围太狭隘，现在才听到他们的声音。最爱是主唱声音中一...... (2回应)
