 In 2000, Karen O, a Tisch transfer student, was as self-assured as any newly-minted New Yorker. So she and guitarist Nick Zinner thought of a band name and a logo before they had written any songs, as they reveal on one of this album's interview tracks. After they'd written some (very good) songs, their reputations-- Nick Zinner's cool, Karen O's beer-soaked bravado-- still preceded their records. But then YYYs released "Maps". Then they became less fashionable but no less good. And they matured, even before Karen O did the most New York thing of all: move to L.A.This iTunes collection spans from their first EP to Its Blitz!, and it shows a band willing to adapt and change without regrets or nostalgia for its past. That YYYs are ready to have a greatest hits album pangs their older fans more than the band themselves. They don't hate getting older, or ever being that young....full text |

| Looking for a bit of insight into Yeah Yeah Yeahs vocalist Karen O's crazy antics? Perhaps you'll find it in your iTunes library, as the New Yorkers are the latest band to be featured in the iTunes Originals series. iTunes Originals generally feature album cuts, interviews and acoustic versions of songs. Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ edition, which was released on Tuesday (October 20), is no different. But if you don't feel like re-buying those tunes you already have, you could just cherry-pick the acoustic tracks. Otherwise, the whole deal will cost you $9.99. You can purchase it here. Yeah Yeah Yeahs' last album was It's Blitz, which came out in March of this year. Karen O also recently collaborated with the Kids to put out the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack.

| Brooklyn trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs are set to host a new instalment of the iTunes originals series. Yeah Yeah Yeahs returned this year, ending a three year wait by fans for a new album. Teaming up with TV On The Radio star Dave Sitek the band have crafted a surprising return that shuns guitars in favour of antique synths. Lead single 'Heads Will Roll' was a sensational comeback. With a Richard Ayoade directed video the stomping track was destined for the dancefloor and has been reworked by some of the world's top producers. Releasing 'It's Blitz' earlier this year Yeah Yeah Yeahs delighted fans starved of new material. Confounding expectations they somehow managed to remain true to themselves without ever looking over their shoulder....full text |
