BUT some very exciting news has come up, and that news involves the Yeah Yeah Yeahs...if you look back to Ultimate Death Round: Top 3 Bands you will see that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (YYYs) are one of my favorite bands. I love them so so so much, and I've always wanted to see them live but they've been basically on a hiatus for years so I never thought that would happen. They started surfacing a little bit lately with a new album coming up in April (Mosquito) and some teasers to promote it...THEN I learned that they are going on tour but no where near me, I was so upset.
UNTIL!! The day that SweetLife Festival which is super close in Columbia, Maryland announced its line-up with the YYYs!!!!!!!!!!!! I was driving in DC right by the Capitol where there is lots of important people and people in suits who are normal, and then I heard on the radio that the YYYs (along with pheonix, PASSION PIT and kendrick lamar and others) and I started screaming in my car along at a red light with lots of people at the intersection. Lets just say they thought I was so weird but I am so excited!! I bought tickets during the pre-sale and I just can't wait!!!!!!!
It's also important to note that SweetLife Festival was started by SweetGreen which is my FAVORITE salad place which started here in DC! They have the BEST salads (seriously) and frozen yogurt and EVERYTHING at their business is recycled and compostable, and they extended this philosophy into their music festival! Which i LOVEE LOVE LOVE because I love being green! I could talk about the sustainability aspects of SweetLife that I love FOREVER but this post is so long and I bet no one is reading anymore.
I'm posting a classic YYYs song. It took me a while to decide which one to post but I decided to go with a classic, I remember seeing this video on TRL back in like 2004.
This song was also named by Rolling Stone in the 'Best 500 songs of All Time' and has been featured in many other lists as one of the best songs ever (CAUSE IT IS)
I LOVE THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS!!!
They don't love you like I love you....
