TV On The Radio Records Katrina Song

TV On The Radio's new tune expresses the band's thoughts in the wake of one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. Download here:

TV On The Radio - "Dry Drunk Emperor" (MP3)

Here's TVOTR's statement about the song:

"we ( tvotr ) were back in the studio thinking and feeling again and made this song for all our everybody... in the absence of a true leader we must not forget that we are still together.... hearts are sick ... minds must change ... it is our hope that this song inspires, comforts, fosters courage,and reminds us... this darkness cannot last if we work together. let us help each other... heal each other .... look after one another ... the human heart is our new capitol.... this song is for you.... us.....we....them... it is free. pass it on.

TO THOSE AFFECTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA : NEW YORK
CITY'S HEART IS WITH YOU... STAY STRONG !
WE LOVE YOU . -tvotr"

Touch & Go has the lyrics available as well.

wow, this is direct:

all eyes upon
dry drunk emperor
gold cross jock skull and bones
mocking smile,
he's been
naked for a while.
get him gone, get him gone, get him gone!!!
and bring all his thieves to trial.

your link has a needless asterix at the end which renders the success of clicking the link nonexistant. remove the asterix! bury the asterix!

I've also been craving some new TVOTR, this is great.

I found some stuff from Dragons of Zynth and Celebration who are buddies with TVOTR/doing stuff on their album, they're both pretty good. I posted some stuff on my blog.
