Found in: Culture, NewsThe 11 Best TV on the Radio Songs of All Time (Right Now)
Travis Morrison used to post his "favorite songs of all time (right now)" on the official website of his band, The Dismemberment Plan (RIP), and I always kinda loved the idea. After all, what are lists of favorites if not, so very often, ever-changing animals? Keeping that in mind, and keeping also in mind that it's well documented that I've been fairly obsessed with TV on the Radio ever since the band began releasing music in 2003, I thought this an appropriate contribution to our (semi-)newly minted List of the Day blog.... read more

In Hamburg, the yardstick for conquering the Reeperbahn is concluding your Saturday night with a trip down to the Fish Market after it opens at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday morning. So when I began walking through the stalls of vendors selling rows of eels, fruit baskets and St. Pauli soccer T-shirts, it was with a feeling of accomplishment. Credit my body's complete confusion about time zones, comraderie among foreign journalists or the knowledge that if I went back to my hotel room, I never would have made it back up for our final tour in the German city.... read more

Brooklyn's TV on the Radio seems to have taken advice from another New York-based group and stopped giving a frak about commas—Oxford, epistolary or otherwise. But now that Dear Science (formerly Dear Science,) has hit record stores and both an almost-regular-but-still-bonus and a fully-bonus edition of the album are available on the iTunes store, it's time for the band to move on to other pastures.... read more

After its first day spotlighted depth, Day Two at Monolith was a chance for the big dogs of the line-up to roam free. Sure, there was some sterling Ben Foldsian pop from Washington D.C.’s Jukebox The Ghost to start the afternoon, a bit of smoky folk rock from former Paste Band of the Week The Rosewood Thieves, and a spirited fireball of a set from Tokyo Police Club.
