'Til My Head Falls Off

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
"Heads Will Roll" single
Released: June 29th, 2009





There I was in Hastings one day when I heard this incredible song pulsating from their speakers. The voice immediately grabbed me... was it Siouxsie Sioux... no, not quite witchy enough... who could this be? I found myself bobbing my head, strutting from aisle to aisle with the throbbing punk meets dance beat. Then the Hasting's guy reminded me... it's the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Of course, how could I confuse Karen O.'s distinctive voice? "Heads Will Roll" is perhaps the groups strongest single of their nearly decade career. The teasing synth introduction with Karen O.'s demanding call for decapitation sell the song immediately. From there are calls to "dance, dance, dance 'till your dead!." Just don't be surprised if your head really does fall off in the process.

Green Day's average enemy

Green Day
"Know Your Enemy" single
Released: April 16th, 2009





Opening with a bombastic drum beat, "Know Your Enemy," sets out to be Green Day's triumphant return since 2004's "American Idiot." And in many ways, it is... except the political nature of the lyrics don't carry as much weight as they did under the Bush administration. Green Day's long-time fascination with anti-war rhetoric is assuredly still relevant, considering the USA is still active in Iraq. The topic just isn't as edgy anymore. However, Green Day has crafted a catchy rock anthem that will rank alongside their greatest hits. With an anti-establishment, fist-raising chorus and power chords galore, "Know Your Enemy" is sure to charge to the top of the rock charts.
