We saw PJ and JP perform live recently, and were similarly impressed by the awesome diversity. The band is excellent.

I am LOVING the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Listening to it right now, as a matter of fact. So many slinky synths. And breathy moans.

I think it's only fair to remind you I have dibs on Polly Jean. Don't you remember? I won rock, paper, Polly at CES 2 years ago in the Not for Sale Audio room? And I have a few drunken witnesses that will swear to nearly anything.

She's a woman, not a phono cartridge or a tube amp you can't win her in a game of rocks, paper, scissors you uncivilized beast. The only way to win "dibs" on a woman is through a drunken bar room brawl. Don't you have any class?

She's a woman who understands.

She's a woman who loves her man!

I'm loving the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' disc. It's the best Yeah Yeah Yeahs disc since "Spring Session M!"

Karen O's Voice has some Bjork meets Dale Bozzio and they go and hang out with Toni Childs!

I'm listening to it right now, again. (It's been the first album I listen to every morning since I bought it.)

I keep thinking she sounds sort of girlish and vulnerable, like Sarah Shannon from Velocity Girl (god, it took me a good 15 minutes to remember that band!), but mixed with a very sexy, very all grown-up Debbie Harry (hot!).

I tried a bit of their videos to get taste of the yeah yeah yeahs.

A bit weak for me. Too mainstream. I like stuff that is, uhm, just a bit stronger .. and that don't mean loud. Torn, would be a better word. Deeper meanings and values where the pressure and intensity is nearly palpable, would be more along the lines of what I'm saying. Go big..or stay home.

Try some of the other tunes, not just the general link. A great first effort, let's see if they can keep it up. Unique, as well.

Note: That's her real voice. She's Peruvian and French Canadian, raised in Peru, and singing in English.

"What do you get when you combine a Canadian singer raised in Peru with a Montreal jazz drummer? What if you put classical, electronic, alternative, and shoe-gazer music in a blender?"

and a bit more:

.... they list influences ranging from David Lynch and Timothy Leary to Radiohead, Led Zeppelin and Yanni.

And yes, Portishead.

"When you have a unique voice, people tend to misbelieve what you are doing
