It's Blitz!

With the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album seemingly dominating Poptimist listening (if the last FM stats are anything to go by) shouldn't we have a chat about it?

Yeah, love the record, my favourite of 09 so far (not heard The-Dream yet though). And I didn't like them already - I didn't DISLIKE them, they just hadn't made any impression on me.

You're right about the transitions!

Yeah there was a brief period where this was my easy favourite of 09 - and then I heard The-Dream! Still, this is way up there.

(Thought Fever To Tell was excellent, 4 stars easily; thought Show Your Bones was patchy but its best songs - 'Turn Into', 'Way Out' - were AMAZING, so three stars, but will probably go back to it in the wake of It's Blitz.)

Not being up on the young person's female fronted indie music this reminded me a lot of my favourite Siouxsie And The Banshees 'era' - the really luxurious but spooky early 80s stuff.

I've been meaning to get into Siouxsie for about a decade now - what do u recommend?

(btw you were right about twitter :( )

Go for the first half dozen tracks on "Twice Upon A Time", see how you like those, then investigate the albums.
