Was anyone else at this show? What was the song that TV On the Radio closed with?

While I really appreciate the sentiment, there’s definitely a time and a place for Zach Condon’s warbles.

It’s a really great song, but let’s all agree that this music video was useless.

We’re all gonna miss you, Jessica. Thanks for enriching my life with some great videos. Here’s my nominee: Tom Vek’s A Chore.

I’d read the write-up if you wrote it. Also in the mindfuck of the century, I work with your former roommate Cameron.

This may be a comment for a different blog, but why did Bryan Schlam have to rotoscope every frame of that? You can just as easily achieve what he did through masking and feathering.

I hate it when bands use loopstations and something stays just slightly offbeat for the whole song. It’s like OCD for my ears.

It’s pretty interesting to compare Earl’s thought-out email to Tyler’s Every Word Is Capitalized Bit.

Does anyone else feel like we’re being trolled?

Cringeworthy.

I followed your recommendation and checked them out. Damn good. Thanks!

Whatever. Keep on ironically listening to Das Racist, Brandon.

Eh.

Well, at least it isn’t as annoying as Sex on Fire.

Which sounds strangely like Chemical Brothers’ Star Guitar, which Passion Pit’s The Reeling is reminiscent of.

It’s a common chord progression.
