i know this is a little late, but i have recently discovered the brilliance of karen o and nick zinner. after getting back from the mission my brother introduced me to yeah yeah yeahs' debut album; fever to tell. i listened to it a couple of times, but i couldn't ever really get into it. i think it was too much of a shock for someone trying to ease back into the music scene. well here i am 3 years later and i think i have finally discovered what my brother was talking about. I believe his exact words were "karen o just makes you feel so crazy." i would suggest picking up their two full lengths for sure, but the record that has really hit me across the face is their ep titled "is is." this 5 song beauty came out in 2007 and it is fantastic. most of the songs were written between their two full lengths, and were often performed live. it is a good mixture between some of their more melodic stuff and some of the raw punk driven material. please check out the "is is ep."
