Music: I'm going through a phase....

and it's called TV on the Radio. :)

The New York music scene is what made me fall in love with NY (I'm more Paris

when it comes to fashion). Along with YYY's, The Strokes, Santigold, MGMT etc.,

TV on the Radio was high up on my list even though I do find their sound a little too

gritty for my effed up sunshine and rainbows and butterflies type of aesthetic. I just

like them because they're original and their experimental which I somehow can relate too.

I've known them since their "Staring at the Sun" days (still my favourite from them).

There are two version of this song. The other one doesn't have the people talking and the humming at the start... which I personally think completes the song.

This is a remake of YYY's "Modern Romance".... they get lots of brownie points from me for this one- it's just love!

Very nice fan made video btw.

They came out with a new album last April called, "Nine Types of Light", which I absoeffinlutely love!

I like that it's more pop than Dear Science... I'm such a huge fan of quality pop but quality pop

is becoming more and more an endangered specie. So thank you TV on the Radio being one of the last vestiges of good pop.

Here are some of my favourites from the album (I have at least 5 that I seriously want to post but I'm narrowing it down to 3 which I find extremely hard):

This is similar- ish to their previous sound in Dear Science. The video is love- it kinda

reminds me of Regina Spektors' *gasp* Samson video (the one with tons of paper art).

This is my second fave song from the album. The melancholy yet hopeful vibe

sounded like it was made for their then dying band member, Gerard Smith (RIP).

"Sunshine I saw you through the hanging vine

All memory of what was mine fading away
And as night heals the ground
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid"

This inched "Killer Crane" as my favourite of the whole album.

Only because I'm a sucker for songs about love lost and found and I love the video... it's deceptively normal... Plus I think that top the girl is wearing is from the Alexander Wang line. haha

"I'm gonna keep your whole heart

I'm gonna keep your whole heart

If the world falls apart,

Stil, I'm gonna keep your whole heart"
