Oscar Buzz: Who's ahead in this year's key races?

Album Stream: Listen to Mindy Smith's Christmas album My Holiday
How exactly would you watch TV on the radio? Years from now, when they're wading through postapocalyptic ruins, future scientists will marvel at the forerunners that could beam visual images through an audio signal—a technology so revered that they named an awesome experimental rock act after it out of sheer reverence. Maybe, just maybe, the band with that scientifically improbable moniker will answer that question with its next LP, Dear Science, (comma included). TV on the Radio will be releasing this bad boy courtesy of Interscope Records in the U.S. on Sept. 23, and 4AD will handle distribution on Sept. 22 around the rest of the world.
The comma suggests an epistolary bent to this new album, but what on earth about? A treatise on lycanthropy? A love letter to Richard Dawkins?? The suspense is enough to keep you howlin' forever, oh-oh...
