...sang Karen O on “Cheated Hearts” from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ second album, “Show Your Bones.” If O, the leader of the New York trio, was previously afraid of overshadowing her bandmates—guitarist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase—the massive shift that she directed for “It’s Blitz!” the band’s third album, would certainly not suggest so. On her orders, the band has dispensed with the frenetic guitar work that defined...
...objectively kick-ass album art, it reveals a band that has jettisoned its old standbys in an effort to liven things up. The art punk garage band who started out supporting acts like the Strokes and the White Stripes has reportedly forbidden their lead (and very talented) guitarist Nick Zinner from doing what he does—play the guitar.

Why are there so damn...
...Boehner's comments were "dumb, stupid, but I can point to plenty of Democrats who do similar things ... [House minority leader] Nancy Pelosi threatened Carolyn Maloney, Ellen Tauscher and Jane Harman-all moderate Democrats-against co-sponsoring legislation with me. There are problems on both sides." Afterward, I asked Zinner about Shays' response. "I really respect him, I've always voted for him, and he had a point," Zinner said. Does that mean you'll vote for him this time? "No way," he said. "If we don't get some meaningful congressional oversight of the Bush Administration, this country...
