Yeah Yeah Yeahs Want The Ladies, Front To Back And Dressed In Black

Just another reason it's better in Brooklyn. Via YYySpace:

We will be gathering the flesh of the young and old this Monday Evening to rejoice in an unholy manner to songs from the runt of the litter: our brand new EP. A few notes, there is only room for roughly 250 of you for either performance so dare to be there or dare to be square. The performances are FREE but everything has it's price, so expect to be RECORDED by many purveyors of filth. Oh yes and FEMMES you will be especially lusted over this evening so come in packs, gangs, broods...we need you. Please see below for details! We hope you enjoy being used as much as we do! Gonna get Dark. Literally. XX YYY
By "Dark," the Yeahs mean you gotta wear dark or black colors with no logos or prints, unless you wanna turn 'em inside out. We smell a "Sealings" video. Wristbands are doled out at the venue (Grasslands Gallery) at 5PM Monday, so a little hooky may be in order. Full details after the jump.

OH. MY. GOD. That is, like, so totally cool. I wish I lived in Brooklyn, everything there is like so cool. In most cities dog poop is considered gross, but not in New York. Dogs in New York drop out the COOLEST little poops you could ever imagine. Really, even the dog poop in New York is cool.

I mean, seriously. Everything and everyone in New York is just so cool. OH. MY. GOD I wish I could move there tonight. I mean, really, New York must be like the totally coolest place on earth. Just ask anyone that lives in New York. Heck, you don't even have to ask them, they'll tell you anyway.

Moon, strange as it sounds, "Alaska cool" is a more annoying breed.
