New Tiny Masters Of Today Video (Feat. Yeah Yeah Yeahs) - "Hologram World"

Ivan and Ada's adorable punk stuff has had us thinking they were wise beyond their years, but that they already know "What's your favorite blog?" is the worst party ice-breaker ever absolutely confirms it. Yeah Yeah Yeahs follow up their help in the studio (Karen on the hook and a verse, Zinner throughout) with a turn as party zombies. Ms. O directs, gets decapitated, has her head served on a platter.

R.I.P. Justin Butts. Should've never asked about the weblogs. Bang Bang Boom Cake is out now via Mute.

I picked up a recommendation for TMoT from a friend and thought it would be pretty cool to turn loose on my 8 yr old. I'm sorry to say I was seriously underwhelmed.

With a couple of exceptions the songs are a good starting point but not really a finished product. I wanted to have a more favorable response and hope these kids continue to develop but the inclusion of some high profile cameos doesn't take away the nagging feeling that these guys were let out of the gate too soon for novelty's sake.

This video is like the Beastie Boys meet Thriller with Karen O babysitting.

It kills me that band after band after band open up for the Dirtbombs and then get more attention than the Dirtbombs. YYY, TMOT, TBL...oops...the Black Lips, Be Your Own Pet, Jay Reatard...

brother.

Damn that song is catchy as all hell. Cute video, reminds me of something but can't think of what.

Let me preface this by saying that I appreciate the fact that these young kids are doing their own thing. They have done exceptionally well for themselves, considering their age.

BUT, they seem to be a novelty commodity. Let's face it, they're not really going "above and beyond" in any way. In other words, it sounds like music made by little kids. For a target audience of their similar-aged peers, that's fine, but compared to the music world at large their music is seriously lacking.
