What's the word on the new TV on the Radio. I know... I should read Pitchfork. But I'm lazy.

Nine point something or other. In a nutshell, TVOTR has found Prince and Rick James, fused it with Afrobeat, and added a lyrical sense of death and dread. Works for me.

death and dread = good music.

But have they started writing songs yet?
Posted by MF DU on 2008-09-26 16:45:44 +0000
Na - they have small brains. Just kidding. It is still really textural, but there is one song (probably "the single" if you will) that seems songwriting-wise to be stronger than some of their past output. Lemme get back to you on that one.

I take back that last post - I would argue the songwriting is much catchier (I really like the 'bloodthirsty' and 'Cookie Mountain' albums, though), yet all the abstract stuff is still there as well. The funk angle they have added on this 'Dear Science' record is really cool. The lyrics are just creepy: One song goes on about drowning the butterflies in one's head. that and the death and dread I was mentioning earlier. As my recent activities (besides parenting of course!) have consisted of listening a lot to this, reading DFW short stories and watching the market news like a hawk. Kinda makes it hard to have a pollyanna-ish outlook about things. Oh Well.

They're upstairs at the Mideast on the 11th. If I'm in town, I'll probably go. Listening to them now. Good stuff. Anyone else interested?

I gotta say, I sure as hell didn't see this one coming. I always thought TVOTR had good ideas, but no execution. They're not the second coming, but there's some pretty songs (yeah, songs) on this one.
