“Heads Will Roll” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
How does one solve the problem of modern rock? Where to go? It can’t get any quieter. Any more whispering and moaning and we’ll lock these people in their rooms. It can’t keep sifting the rusty box of punk and hard rock forever. So what do Karen O and company do? They head out to the dance floor, massaging your hips with New Wave, Dance, Electronic, and Disco while remaining very much a rock band with one foot in late seventies Bowery while the other taps out the beat on the checkerboard Saturday Night Fever dance floor. This song kicks ass!
