I bought my first single tonite [single, not EP]. yep, YYYs "Machine."
It's ludicrously short for three songs.
But it's worth it.
"Machine" starts with Karen O's faded, disconnected rant, followed by 4 bursts of YYY noise which immediately click into the rock-ass dance guitar and drums riff that made me thing "HOLY FUCKING SHIT" at the concert. when it gets grooving, it really freaking gets grooving.
"Graveyard," the live track, is a retarded blues rock workout that only these beautiful, dirty dirty people could do
the "Pin" remix is the song I heard on the radio Wed.
the band has talked about doing a remix project before, and they only like remixes that are very different. this fufills that request. nothing like the orignal song, almost.
Fader YYY remix article, my own picreally, this EP/single type thing should've been "Rich," "Pin," and "Tick." But I still like it.
ANOTHER [but fun] jazz band concert at the hyatt
played more GTA Vice City. getting better.
went to karaoke at Ben and Jerry's. weak.
Walker Bros. for choc.chip pancakes
Borders for NME [GREAT COVER W/ THE STRIPES] and my fantastic search for "Machine"

in a really scary coincidence, I caught YYY's "Pin (remix)" on the radio todayorchestra concert sucked tonite, strings don't grasp the concept of intonation
nothing makes me feel cooler than listening to Daft Punk's Discovery ("Aerodynamic" and especially "Voyager"), driving in the maxima, wearing a fucking tuxedo
I'm missing Spoon on Conan. fuck it
