If I'm not mistaken, my former boss Eric Harvey gave out his first "Recommended" declaration on Pitchfork today - a 7.8 for Yeasayer's debut. Not a bad score and the review is, of course, well-written. I'm counting the days until he tells me about some Best New Music! (edit: I was mistaken...)

Yeasayer's first single, "2080" definitely grabbed my attention. However, in this live performance via YouTube, I can't seem to get past that striped shirt!



I've been that guy (but with a video camera) so I'm not complaining. More than anything, I just wish the guy who took this video had more courage and got me a close up of the dude in the headband.

Which brings me to a novel idea for photogs. If you're planning on hogging the front row at a show, wear a sign on your back! Seriously! Put a graphic of where we can see those awesome pictures you're taking! You'll get loads of free publicity on YouTube!
