Y Is For Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The duo are back to chat about post-punk turned dance electronic band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Along the way, the guys talk about the New York music scene of the early 00's, bands that come back from a long hiatus, cover art designed to make parents mad, and the nutty state of streaming services. Music featured this week: Zero - It's Blitz! Maps - Fever To Tell Burning - Cool It Down 0:46 - It was a 5 day hike over 50 km (30 miles) of rough coastal rainforest terrain. Incredible but exhausting. The Juan de Fuca Trail 2:56 - Here's the new single from The Hives: Bogus Operandi ​10:24 - Here's the trailer for "Meet Me In The Bathroom" if you're interested! Good luck finding it! 13:49 - Do you think of The Hives as punk? Why not listen to our full argument in our episode H Is For The Hives? 21:43 - No joke! Here's the list of notable alumni from NYU's Tisch School Of The Arts 29:17 - For reference, here's the music video for "Maps" ​37:09 - That writer is Max Martin, who wrote a solid majority of the pop songs from that time period 40:06 - Sorry, not a cover but an interpolation. The song is "Hold Up", and the line is "They don't love you like I love you" 41:00 - If you're serious about learning about music, it's hard to go wrong with Trash Theory. Here's the video "How Yeah Yeah Yeah's 'Maps' Transcended The Post-Punk Revival" 42:25 - "There Is No Modern Romance" is a great little doc about their time touring for the release of 'Fever To Tell' 1:05:04 - Doug is, of course, quoting Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. It totally derailed Steve 1:06:25 - If blood-sucking bugs give you the heebie-jeebies, don't watch the music video for "Mosquito" 1:11:20 - We actually had this conversation about guest rappers a little more in-depth in our episode N Is For No Doubt 1:23:02 - Werewolves make music videos awesome.
