It’s Blitz / It’s Windy As Hell



Apropos of what’s happening in our world this afternoon, I offer a few downloads and suggest to you that:

No. 1, the wind is indeed howling, and days like this always get “Isis” stuck in my head (unfortunatley, Jack White skips over that key lyric in this cover version, but whatever); and

No. 2, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (who, incidentally, I first heard when they opened for the Stripes) announced some details about their next record.

Of note: it will be called It’s Blitz; production duties will be shared/divvied up by David Sitek of TV On the Radio and Nick Launay, who produced the YYY’s last studio effort; the band promises a “different” sound; and the cover art is pretty cool (see above).
