Watch No Age Duke it Out in a Video Game Challenge at All Tomorrow's Parties

We know No Age's Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt are awesome at churning out noisy rock, but what we really wanted to test was their Bust-a-Move and Millipede skills. So we dragged them to an arcade at this past weekend's All Tomorrow's Parties fest in upstate New York to see which bandmate was worthy of winning the most fancy prize we could muster: a nose guard.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
