The Next James Blunt

New York's hottest hip-hop MC

A couple years late on TV on the Radio, no? But hopefully this means their new album is really good…

it didnt say 10 NEW bands. just 10 bands! :)

Dang, Wolfmother is at Fletchers on April 12. From Sydney, so it's not like I can hope for a DC date in the near future. Damn damn. Is Fletchers way over on the other side of B'more, and what are set times usually like on a weeknight?

do bowie and david byrne spend 90% of their time crashing backstage parties to tell young bands how much they like them? i feel like every other article about some indie band includes a story about how bowie or byrne is "their biggest fan"

Yeah I remember when David Bowie was all over The Arcade Fire about two months after everyone already knew who they were.

The new TV on the Radio album should be magnificent though.

will have to check this guy out… however, the last artist that was touted as a motown throwback turned out to be more image over substance. had the vocal talent but the songs didn't even come close to motown quality..

A couple of tunes from the new album:

Playhouses

Snakes and Martyrs

saw TV on the Radio a few years back when they opened for Firewater - I wasn't a huge fan of the EP, but live, they were incredible.

I've heard most of it, and it's pretty damn good. More accessible than their previous stuff, I think.

I really like Playhouses. Listened to that first and was excited and looking forward to hearing more.

Then I played Snakes and Martyrs and sorry to say, in my opinion, it's a real stinker.

I would have to hear more tunes like Playhouses for me to bother with buying it.

Thanks for posting the links.

I saw them open for the Pixies like a year and a half ago, I didn't really care too much for their live show, but that may have been because it was the first time I was seeing the Pixies and I really didn't give a shit regardless who the opener was.

I was at that show too. I thought TVOTR was pretty good, but better when I saw them later on their own. I like how the bass player never faces the audience.

I distinctly remember that. I also liked how the white guitar player was a total spazzbot.

You should still come to the Fletchers show, if you can. I can't wait to see them in such a small place.
