OMG YAY YOU'RE BACK.

What was wrong w the Yeah yeah yeahs?

IDK, they were redonk. There was a giant eye onstage. The chick came out in a mask that would have scared the bejeezus out of you for sure. Then the lights went out and IT LIT UP, making her head into a GLOWING RED SPIRAL. And the guitar player was Joe Jonas. IDEK. Maybe we were just not in the mood for floating singing spirals.

LOL. OK THEN. Zune-only for them, then. And AHA, you two are on teh same level, how cute :D

I WANNA WRITE AT WORK BUT I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK TO DO, WTH. NOT ON.

Yeah, they *sounded* fine, I liked the pulsing beat, very drivable. It was kind of everything else that did not sit right. Srsly, spiralface before it was lit up would have made you cry, it looked like when Dwight cut the face off the CPR dummy and then put it on his face.

*awkwardly jumps in*

I saw the yeah yeah yeahs like...5(?) years ago before anyone had ever heard of them (they were opening for the White Stripes).

God-Awful. The thing I remember most vividly was her basically half-swallowing the mic and screaming into it. It was the stuff of nightmares.

Does she still do that?

hkath July 20 2009, 19:24:51 UTC

Pretty much! There was much gyrating and some pretty mind-boggling costume choices. I refuse to learn her name and will henceforth only refer to her as Spiralface. :P

Wow, it kinda sucks that Jack White is now opening for them, huh?

Aw, man. Sucks YYY's aren't awesome live. I really dug them back in the day ("Maps" is still to me a really great song) and their new album is pretty good. I think "Hysteric" is one of my favorite songs of the year, actually. Oh well? lol

sounds exhausting, but still fun! good for you :)

joecaloric July 21 2009, 15:14:25 UTC

Sounds like fun, but how is any of that stuff "Blues"? Most of what I know there isn't even blues-ish.

hkath July 21 2009, 15:26:57 UTC

Bluesfest is just a name at this point. No WAY you could do a 12-day festival about blues, you'd run out of acts mid-day-2.
