Song of the Day: Caffeinated Consciousness by TV on the Radio.
I told you the 90’s beats are back! I love being right. But of course it’s not just a 90’s beat, TV on the Radio found a way to “modernize it”.
Come to think of it, I don’t know exactly what “modernizing it” means but I think it’s good? I hope bands aren’t looking back to only two decades ago to find inspiration. Maybe it’s only the proximity of time that bothers me. Because I surely don’t have any problem with bands that sound like Marvin Gaye, or even Chuck Berry for that matter.
Regardless, I like the song and that’s really all the proof I need. “Caffeinated Consciousness” is the second single from TV on the Radio’s fourth studio album, “Nine Types of Light” (love the name!), out April 12, 2011. You can download the song here.
Last but not least, I hope Mr. Smith gets well very soon. My meditation vibes for this week will be towards “smashing apart all of the cancer cells in the world”, å la Adam Yauch.
Song of the Day: Young Liars by TV on the Radio.
Something calm for a laid back Sunday? Yes!
Song of the Day: Halfway Home by TV on the Radio
A good one for the day. No other comments at this time. Perhaps a more poppy one tomorrow to match the nice LA weather.
