You Like Music, Right?

In their never ending quest to find out what people think of the current musical landscape; DC9 at Night has asked the musical geniuses at Mockingbird Station what they think about "Golden Age" by TV on The Radio. Why? Because they are playing the Lakewood tonight.

Not a knock on DC9, I just think it's funny they were at Mockingbird Station...cause the yuppies go there.

Nice With The Science,

The more I hear "Golden Age" the more it's growing on me.  So, I'm somewhat right that it's a grower, not a shower.  But, the video is like early MTV New Wave odd for the sake of being odd.  It's definitely Subterranean material.  I do did the fact it has lots o' Kyp in it.  He reminds me of a rock and roll Cornell West.

TVOTR "Dancing Choose"

Meh, the new stuff isn't starting out so good. Maybe I just need to give it a few more spins. What do you think?

TV on The Radio "Golden Age"

Ready to hear some new TVOTR from Dear Science,?  Well then head to their Myspace page and hear a snippet of "Golden Hour."  I was bummed when I realized it was a snippet.  But, it gives me hope for the new album.  The Return to Cookie Mountain was a bit of a letdown compared to Deperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes.  But, this funky new track does give me hope for the new album.

Say, Say My Baby!

So, I told you a lil' while back that TV on The Radio will release Dear Science, this fall and tour.  At the time I lamented the fact they wouldn't be coming to Dallas.  Well, my days of sadness are over folks!  They will be hitting Dallas on October 26!  But, that's a Tuesday...so, I'll prolly have to take off the next day for that one.

As you can see on the tour dates below, they will be playing at Lakewood Theater.  This is cool because I've never seen a show at the Lakewood.  However, I think it's kind of a strange venue for them to play.  The Palladium Ballroom would've been a better fit I think.  Maybe even the Granada.  It just seems like a weird place for them to place.  Ya know, out amongst the yuppies.

My Oklahoma peeps need to get to the Diamond Ballroom and catch this show y'all!(Ultra8201)

Dear Science,

This is prolly the best news I've heard all day! TV on The Radio will release a new disc titled Dear Science, on Septemember 23. They will be touring in the Fall, but, no where near Dallas. Unless you consider Salt Lake City (which is the closest they are coming for now) close. (Pitchfork)
