As I skimmed through my iTunes and posts from the year, I realized very quickly that putting together a 40 track playlist to represent the best songs of 2009 was going to be impossible. And, according to Jay-Z, impossible takes a week. I don’t have that kind of time! So here’s My Poproks 49 Best [...]

Hey, 2009. I’d like to thank you for wrapping up what has been the best decade for music, and I’ll argue this til the day I’m convinced that the next decade is the best. What I’m trying to say is, it keeps getting better. And, technically, doesn’t the decade end after 2010? Uber confusing. But [...]

The first draft of this post, titled “My Poproks Best Songs Since 2000,” is from this past March. 8 months, 1,000 edits, and 3,000 miles later, it officially exits the abyss of blogFAIL that is My Poproks “drafts” section. Making lists is hard! I will never complain about another ‘Blank Songs of Blank’ list ever [...]

If you want to see Karen O being awesome and a werewolf dancing on a lit up platform of squares a la “Billie Jean” and then ripping everyone apart into a red glittered and confetti’d mess, then watch the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs video for “Heads Will Roll.” How could you not want to see [...]

I haven’t seen the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live since ’04 at Central Park SummerStage when they opened for Devo in the pouring rain. Karen O wore a see-through plastic poncho with a bathing suit underneath, and proceeded to rip it off of herself mid-set. It was the best. And with It’s Blitz being my tentative [...]

I guess I’d be that happy too if I were so effing awesome. Yeah Yeah Yeah’s have been steamrolling through the late night circuit, playing new and old hits galore (mostly It’s Blitz’ head exploding “Zero”). Karen O has been unapologetically badass and unable to contain her over-flowing joy of making one of the best [...]

8.5 Last week, not only did I not elaborate enough on how bone-crushingly amazing the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs record is, but I gave it a rating of 8 out of 10 which I would now like to formally change to 8.5 out of 10. Not only is It’s Blitz the type of album that [...]

I guess I should post remixes more often, seeing as this is the second awesome one to come my way this week. The only thing cooler than the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ new album, It’s Blitz, is N.A.S.A.’s new album, Spirit of Apollo. The only thing cooler than both of these is a Yeah Yeah Yeahs [...]

As if I needed any more confirmation that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are the coolest band in the world… The band released three promo videos for their amazing new record, It’s Blitz; distorted black and white masterpieces, featuring each member of the band in incredibly creepy and wonderful circumstances. The videos are entitled “The Philosopher,” [...]

8 Thank goodness for this record. Yeah Yeah Yeahs are so consistent and so talented that I don’t even know how to finish this thought. Since 2003′s Fever to Tell, the New York City rockers have been releasing music on an escalating scale of beautiful and spastic punk rock awesomness that does more for the [...]
