Pitchfork: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Cover the Rentals on Podcast

Yeah Yeah Yeahs Cover the Rentals on Podcast

This week's installment of AOL's "The Interface" podcast features the Yeah Yeah Yeahs seriously stripping things down for acoustic versions of "Cheated Hearts" and "Turn Into". They also play a stream-only (for copyright reasons) cover of the Rentals' "The Love I'm Searching For" and answer a bunch of inane questions in low, froggy voices.

The interview topics range from what's it like to be bi-coastal (Karen now lives in L.A.), Karen O's fashion designer, and their favorite covers of their own songs, which, according to Brian (though it might be Nick-- it's hard to tell) are the Thing's version of "Art Star" and "Ashlee Simpson's" "Since U Been Gone". When someone tells him it's actually Kelly Clarkson, he says, "Same diff."

But the shining moment of the whole thing is when the interviewer tells the band that, live, they become a "bo-hemoth." Dude's a definite bo-ffoon.
