Oh dear. Take a look at how much of this “concert preview” is devoted to the actual sound of the band vs. how much attention is paid to the way Karen O. looks. It’s not so much a preview as a mash note. Kinda sad.
The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s are Missing Persons for the 21st century, more or less, with a little bit (sometimes a lot) of A Flock of Seagulls thrown in for good (?) measure. This is not entirely a slam on the band, as I will cop to enjoying a couple of singles from both of those bands. Neither is it a ringing endorsement, though. Frankly, I don’t see what all the shoutin’ is about. YYY are an OK band, but they are not nearly as exciting as people are making them out to be.
Then again, I’m old enough to remember when Ms. O’s schtick was new, so maybe that’s what’s keeping me from jumping on the bandwagon as it rolls past the Old Rockers home. That and my trick knee; otherwise, I’m as spry as I ever was, by cracky! Say, could one a’ you young ‘uns give that victrola a crank? I got a hankerin’ to hear that Lene Lovich one more time.
*sings* “My lucky number’s one! AH oo AH oo!”
Heh heh.
*snores loudly*
