Saw both of them live
DD supporting NIN. Don't recall much of them, but Coin Operated Boy was awesome.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were great live, but the crowd was full of preened teen indies, who looked like they'd spent hours getting ready to go to a fucking GIG.

Luckily I saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Leeds fest.
So I was saved from all the pretentious indie crap. You don't get dressed up to go to a gig for fucks sake, you dress comfortably and sensibly for being crushed and jumping around. Apart from Emilie Autumn, I got very dressed up for that cos that's part of the fun with EA, everyone put so much effort in to suit the mood.

True,
For her I'd dress her. For her I'd do anything.

I felt so superior
Especially when some girls and boys (and some I wasn't sure of) came out of the crowd horrified at how sweaty they'd got.

Haha I love to play "guy or girl" when I'm walking round the Northern Quarter in Manchester

*snort*
I played that the last time I went to Afflecks. It was full of pretentious androgynous wankers with side-swept fringes. Sigh. I remember when it used to be cool...
