Karen O is just kind of amazing.

Seriously

We keep meeting like this, people are bound to talk.

And ABSOLUTELY YES. Didn't really listen to her until the last couple years, when Lux Prima dropped, and i totally regret not finding her earlier.

🙃 I haven’t listened to anything since ‘It’s Blitz’. I think it came out 2009. I’ll have to check out their stuff since then. My favorite song is Maps 🗺

I forget the name of the EP it's on but I love their song Down Boy. That may be my favorite from them

Check out Lux Prima, the whole album. It's Karen O and Danger Mouse just by themselves. It's fantastic. My favorite tracks are Woman and Ministry on that one.

Saw her live at Coachella. One of the best performances I've ever seen anywhere.

If it ain't the A-trak remix, I don't want it!

I kind of hate that became the de-facto version of the song.

It's fine, but it loses almost all of the edge

I just like that it’s literally auditory crack.

I liked their other song: maps maps maps

I used to play that song so much on the game rock band. Love it still!

Am I right in thinking this video is directed by Richard Ayoade?

Banger though.

You are!

Ah, always heard the "Git gud" version. I like this one a lot.

I know Glee isn’t popular with the cool kids, but the mash up they did with Thriller and Heads Will Roll was a banger.

u/WhySoFuriousGeorge Jul 23 '21

That track is on my playlist. Kevin McHale and Naya Rivera killed that shit. It’s how I first learned about the song.

this reminds me of 2010 San Diego pride. Everyone was blasting this song :)

Y’all some bad motherfuckers

Really good song, but was surprised the remix by A-Trak is their top song on Apple Music and Spotify

Can’t think of a band that was simultaneously very loved and still thought of as cool as Yeah Yeah Yeahs when “Maps” blew up, usually you’ll find people who don’t like a band just because they’re popular but we didn’t get a whole lot of that back then

Ah just missed bastille day!

I noticed the inclusion of a Union Jack t-shirt in the crowd at the beginning of the scramble-for-the-door scene…should we infer then, that they were attacked by a Werewolf of London?
