My Poproks 50 Best Songs of 2011
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 [...]

My Poproks Best Songs of 2011 1/2
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 [...]

R.I.P. Gerard Smith (TV on the Radio)
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 [...]

TV on the Radio Nine Types of Light Film
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 [...]

Stream via Rhapsody. Due April 12.

TV on the Radio “Will Do” Virtual Love Video
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.
