Karen O: 'Shit happens'

Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O has spoken about the leaking of her demos.

As previously reported 16 tracks entitled ’KO At Home’ were leaked onto the internet.

Discussing the leak on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs message board, O said: “(I) can’t say I don’t feel a little grossed out by someone taking a liberty with music that was mine and Dave’s. Shit happens nonetheless.

"All I can do at this point is offer up a recommendation... if you happen to get your mits on one of those old demos floating around MY personal favorites and the ONLY ONES I would have released for anyone to enjoy is 'Pumpkin' and 'Snakes and Worms'. The rest I probably would have pitched or buried for while longer. No use bitching about something that's out of my control.

Chin up,
ko"
