Hello and welcome to my year-end list. I started my Albums of the Year post about 9 blogmonths (2 weeks) ago and realized very quickly that the majority of my favorite music from this year wasn’t on there. For me, 2011 was a big year for songs. Albums, singles, EPs, mixtapes, remixes, remix albums, free [...]

Or 1/2 2011, depending on if phrasing/math/logic is important to you. This list is somewhat in order, but it’s not really in order. Also, #1 is definitely in order. Some favorites missing here work better in album mode (or came out in 2010, e.g.: Smith Westerns), and will see you later on the Best Albums [...]

TV on the Radio, Arctic Monkeys, Panda Bear, Warpaint, and Smith Westerns are set to play a ‘one epic night’ mini-fest at LA’s Hollywood Bowl September 25. Both epic and mini. Tickets go on sale June 18. Yes. Please.

TV on the Radio bassist, Gerard Smith, passed away earlier today after a battle with lung cancer. If you’ve ever seen TV on the Radio live or watched any footage, you’ve probably noticed that Smith often stood in a back corner, unnoticed, facing his amp and playing his bass. I wanted to share a clip [...]

Judging from all of those repeated listens (seriously a lot), TV on the Radio’s heart-keeping Nine Types of Light is slowly becoming one of my favorites of the year so far. In other news, the hour long visual accompaniment (directed by band member Tunde Adebimpe) that comes along with the deluxe edition is [...]

I wondered a couple of weeks ago if there would be anything better than “Will Do” on Nine Types of Light. There isn’t, but it’s still another brilliantly crafted record from TV on the Radio that parties somewhere between the dancefloor and a bedroom laptop.
Stream via Rhapsody. Due April 12.
Stream: TV on the Radio Nine [...]

The deluxe edition of TV on the Radio’s Nine Types of Light (which isn’t coming out fast enough at all) comes with a short film of the same name – and the trailer (which includes clips from the “Will Do” virtual love video and a preview of the track “Repetition”) is now playing over at [...]

One of my favoritest tracks of young 2k11, TV on the Radio’s “Will Do”, gets a beautiful visual. Not surprisingly. Memory time machines? Virtual reality love.

TV on the Radio’s “Will Do” from their upcoming Nine Types of Light is easily one of my top tracks of the year so far. In fact, I listened to it 4 times this morning. “Caffeinated Consciousness”, another new one from the album, is now available as a free download via the widget [...]
