On a Friday off between Cali gigs, TV On The Radio and their horn players stopped by The Tonight Show . They played "Dancing Choose," the song they brought to Letterman's fire escape in September, but Jay Leno doesn't have a fire escape. I understand "Dancing" is the current single, but the celebratory "Golden Age" would've been an even more appropriate way to cap off the historical week. Which...

A few years back when Return To Cookie Mountain was all the rage, many friends of mine kept whispering TV On The Radio in my ear, insisting I would love them. For some reason (probably pure stupidity) I didn't listen. I plugged my ears and sang at the top of my lungs like an ignorant [...]

Brooklyn's TV On The Radio are starting to spice up their Web site tvontheradio.com with new promos for their third full-length Dear Science, due September 23rd. The first? Streaming the album's first single, titled "Golden Age." Not to be confused with the Beck song title of the same name, the TVOTR track is reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" but eventually morphs i...

I'm in lurve with TV On The Radio. Their new album 'Dear Science' is da shit! It's overall a far more upbeat affair than their previous album 'Return To Cookie Mountain', which I loved dearly. But that album was all over the map & quite quirky whereas this one is far more focused on traditional songwriting(or at least as close to traditional songwriting as TVOTR can get).There are quite a few m...

Having the iPod touch in the car has changed my life. And I'm not taking about the Google Maps and Tetris apps either. It's been five days since I've gotten all teched-out and I've carefully selected music I want to listen to so much that I can impress people and sing the lyrics eventually. Or say I'm at a festival and they're all like "Hey sidelines, we need you to do back up." Boom! I'm there...

Back in the summer of 2001 a little movie hit the theaters called "Jump Tomorrow":http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0273300/ .

In my last post I spoke of being prompted to check out Spin.com's 3 featured new bands. Well, in the latest issue of Spin magazine they named TV On The Radio's latest album 'Dear Science' as their album of the year. It certainly is a great album and worthy of that title. Portishead was literally 'Third'. Santogold is at #6. Hot Chip at #8. Erykah came in at #12 on their year end list. Beck at ...

I believe he was referring to the gentleman on the far left.In case you missed TVOTR on The Colbert Report, you shouldn't and don't have to. The interview is chock full of Colbert in all his snarky splendor, and the performance was electrifying. I have a feeling these guys are going to benefit from "The Colbert Bump".
