I do enjoy reading The Stool Pigeon. It tells me about all the cool new bands I should be listening to. And don't the Yeah Yeah Yeahs look spanky on the cover? Jonathan Safran-Foer (at right) is looking a bit Photoshopped. The shadow doesn't match his cheekbones, but nevermind. I don't think The Stool Pigeon has demanded he digitally slim down.
The tagline, however, confuses me. I understand that Father Christmas has reindeers called Donner and Blitzen, and the new YYYs album is called It's...
...but what's Donna got to do with it? And why slip in the German connective? Perhaps Karen O and co have gone...
And they sound very...
But come on. It just doesn't quite make sense. Or maybe I just don't get it. Can you explain?
Donner und Blitzen = thunder and lightning in German
ReplyDelete"YYYs strike with a lightning bolt of disco bop" is the subhead. See what they did there?
There's a Ramone's half pun in there, cos they have a song called Blitzkrieg Bop
Um, both bands are from NYC
Donner is change to Donna to rep for Donna Summer
That's the disco connection
In the story itself, Karen O mentions Donna Summer
Agreed, it's not very clear.
Mickey from the Art Dept here. No Photoshopping there it's straight from the camera to the QuarkXpress page. And as for the headline ask the editor, i deal with pictures he deals with text.
