I can't believe this year is over. It has come and gone in a haze of concerts, martinis, deadlines, endings, beginnings, highs and lows.

The alt-punk NYC sensation the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who were exploding out all over the place even before the release, in 2003, of their first full-length album Fever to Tell, featuring the incredible (and incredibly over-played) single "Maps," have been pretty much invisible for the past few years, but are back now and touring behind a brand new album: Show Your Bones. On the first listen, Phillyist was a little disappointed by "Gold Lion," the first single released off the disc. It sounded like maybe the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had lost the harsh, bitter edge that made them so interesting. Subsequent listens have warmed us to the song a bit more, and we've come to rather enjoy its catchy indie pop sound. Still, it doesn't seem anywhere near as sexy and powerful as anything on their last album.
