Yeah Yeah Yeahs' third album was "damn close" to being finished back in November, so it must be 'damn, damn close' right now. Regardless, the New York band have, at least, given it a name: Blitz. Or 'It's Blitz', depending on how you read it.

You've got to love the YYYs for their crazy dress sense and wacky humour. Here's how they shared the new name with the world, courtesy of Geronimo Raccoon and the baby chicks. You see? They're just so crazy...
