Yeah Yeah Yeahs Replace B-Boys at Lolla
this week only!
Well, okay I can live with this. Afterall, I have seen the Beastie Boys twice previously and when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were in town a few weeks ago I got sick and couldn’t make the show. So while I’m pretty bummed about not being able to see the B-Boys and even more bummed about the news we all received yesterday that one of the members of the only rap group/artist that I really REALLY like get cancer (get better soon Adam!), I have to admit this newest addition to the Lolla ‘09 lineup has got me pretty damn excited. Sorry Tool, I’ll be seeing Karen, Brian and Nick rock your socks off.
Pitchfork:TV is showcasing this little mini-trilogy of shorts. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Barney Clay went to Texas with a camera and came back with this neat little short to help promote for the new album “It’s Blitz.” One commenter says that Snakesweat is like “Simon of the Desert meets Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill via Jodorowsky and Bob Rafelson.” Well said sir! Check out this seven minute short below. Apparently this will only be available for this week. So see it now.
The damn thing insists on auto-playing, so I’ve stuck it under the cut. Enjoy.

And this short is whacked out. Just gotta say.
