Yeah Yeah Yeahs just come off as bullshit.
I don't think no wave bands were "out to destroy music". That's more of a noise/industrial thing, stuff like Throbbing Gristle. No wave was just ugly music made by ugly people who didn't know how to play music or wanted to make music that was extremely primitive and direct. No wave, to me, was the logical extension of punk and just like punk it burnt itself out really quickly. Which is probably for the best.
I'd like to acquire some no wave films made around that time.
