Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Fuck the Strokes, I want my NYC rawk much dirtier and nastier. Which means, of course, that I want - and need - the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Karen O (and yes, I know this isn't exactly a news flash) is the greatest (NYC, at least - still not sure she can top PJ Harvey) rock goddess this side of Debbie Harry.

Speaking of women who actually rock, am I the last person in America to fall before the altar of the Donnas? Less Kittie (thank goodness), more Judas Priest-via-the Runaways. Hell, I'm gay, and I'll "Take It Off" for 'em.
