You can be my…wait, what the hell did he just say?

Remember this charming man?

Just when you’d assumed that he and his group, Frozen Test Icicles (or whatever it was they were called) had truly disbanded, been pummeled in the nose, or whatever it is you do when your bro steals your Maybelline, 30 Seconds to Mars returns to the radar of all of those within 150 pounds of their goal weight:

30 Seconds To Mars: Stronger (Kanye West cover)

Where, oh where, to begin? The fact that Leto and his Coalition Of The Pretty-Yet-Ain’t-Fags-Or-Nothin’-For-Real-Brah not only straight-face their way through this, they break the “sound like blackened tilapia gossamer” record on their guitars in support of this douchetruckian effort that actually, as a straight cover propelled by sheer force of lacking invention and source considered, borders on blackface. Jared, you DON’T get to say shit like “you can be my black Kate Moss tonight”, sorry. Have you been hanging out with June D again, calling each other “bitches” and snorting crank off arbitrary asscracks, assuming, because you can name two Outkast songs (hint: one’s NOT “Hey Ya”, but one is!), blue cameltoe tights and minstrelsy are all ok?

Also, Kanye’s not your “bra”.

Jill dehumidifier: it’s a band i don’t care about covering a song i don’t care about
Jill dehumidifier
: SUCH APATHY HAVE I
shaun bateman : it’s SO BAD
shaun bateman :
it’s like
shaun bateman :
take everything you hate about music, jill
shaun bateman :
and put it into ONE SONG
shaun bateman :
the END of this
shaun bateman :is so guylineremo
Jill dehumidifier
: this is the dullest thing i have ever heard
Jill dehumidifier
:it’s like if you were a cutter
Jill dehumidifier
:but with a butter knife

shaun bateman :lol, yyes

shaun bateman :it’s as though

shaun bateman :all the boring echo filters in the world

shaun bateman : converged into one protools setting

Jill dehumidifier: it’s the “guyliner” knob

shaun bateman :phallic pun intended?

Jill dehumidifier:no, and also, yes.

Jill dehumidifier: that was totally freudian

Jill dehumidifier:OH MY GOD IS THIS SONG OVER YET

 

Not til you get to that epic-as-shit (or is it shitty epic…yeah, shitty epic) ending, where Leto goes for it. “It” isn’t defined yet, but it isn’t good.





Tell me which misshapes to bite

Oh, man. So, we’ve joked about it before, but, via Stereogum, who snagged it from Gawker, who probably got it from some bodega, somewhere (doesn’t everything originating in New York begin life in some bodega, somewhere?):

Yeah, um…granted, the haircuts may be the….ok, they aren’t. Granted, there’s two dudes and a…but, um, didn’t whats-his-bass join YYYs for Show Your Bones? Aw, hell with it-it’s the MisShapes.

Of all the bands in the world to misTake, NY Daily News picks the one with talent (and no, I don’t mean the one that had the picture printed).

At the very least, though, this gives me an excuse to talk about the great new EP the Yeah Yeah Yeahs just unleashed, Is Is.


Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Rockers To Swallow

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

This has long been one of my favorite unavailable YYYs bee-sides, and, contrary to popular logic, I do still want it now that I can have it. The band rides their Bow Wow Wow influence like a fucking wave in this (I dare you to peg that guitar riff on any other band), as Karen bridges the gap between her Show Yr Bones plaintive self-expression and the cut-and-clutter of Fever To Tell, doing her “middle finger to the media” thing and daring them to tell her “what rockers to swallow” or “what knockers to bite”.


Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Deja Vu

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

A lost Show Your Bones moment, and what I held up as proof to the Bones naysayers that the YYYs hadn’t traded in/out of their raw, thrashing skin. I can only assume it’s not on Is Is because it’d mess with the cohesive flow of the EP, but it belongs, tacked at the end, as a raging take through the band’s stomping force.
