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?

Karen O. sometimes seems like a transvestite doing a comic impersonation of PJ Harvey. I think I mean that as a compliment. But yes, I like this album. My top three are "Heads Will Roll," "Dull Life," and "Runaway."

Had a truncated discussion about it here, though ended up talking more about Lovefoxxx, whom I realize I'm in love with (connection betw. Karen and Lovefoxxx is their sense of wonder; Lovefoxxx makes her wonder more articulate, however).

Btw, I don't mean to imply by the previous comment that I compare everyone to PJ Harvey and Lovefoxxx, as if they were the touchstone for everything else. On the contrary, I once said that PJ Harvey sounded like Chrissy Hynde having a cow. But if I'd written "Karen O. sometimes seems like a transvestite doing a comic impersonation of Chrissy Hynde having a cow," you would think that I compare everything to cows.

I'm always surprised that I can tolerate from Karen O what I absolutely CANNOT from Jack White.
