Jim posted about Crush Songs, a collection of lo-fi solo songs from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ frontwoman, a week or so ago. While I find the effort to be a bit hit-or-miss (not necessarily a surprise, considering it’s basically a batch of demos), this live performance of album highlight “Rapt” is a great reminder that Karen has never suffered from a lack of showmanship, even while playing to an audience hand-picked by some company’s marketing department. Seriously, the people in this video would make an IKEA showroom look like Compton by comparison.
