TV on the Radio

Had to opt for premium pricing but scored my ticket for one of the LA shows. Sadly the extra $50 was probably worth not having to deal with the aggravation of fighting the AXS site during the pre-sales and on-sale.

Did not know David Bowie sang backup vocals on the track "Province",

I didn't know that either, but I can hear him clearly!  Awesome fun fact.
Listening to this song brings back memories of when this album first came out.
I'm going to go ahead and revisit this album, as it's been awhile, but I remember this album being great from start to finish.
Awesome for road trips as well.

Update: I guess TVOTR got wind of the Premium scheme and nixed it, making AXS refund everyone the amount paid over face value. That was a nice surprise!

That’s an interesting fact about Bowie! Did not know that. 

Just received the 20th anniversary pressing of Desperate Youth… last week and getting excited for the show in a few weeks!

Thanks for mentioning the LA shows, I didn't know they were on tour.  I definitely will make it to one of them.

I've never seen TV on the Radio Live, and I only listened to their "Return To Cookie Mountain" album, but I loved it right away.
Going to catch up on the rest of their catalog before the show.

Just now listening to Return To Cookie Mountain again for the first time in a really long while.
Wow.  I forgot how amazing this album is. I've always loved it, but it's aged really nicely.
I want to listen to the rest of the catalog, but I will have a difficult time turning this masterpiece off.
On second thought, I may just go to all 3 LA shows...

Their whole catalogue is fantastic. Every winter I find a rainy day to play all their records in sequence. Hope they tour more widely next year 🤞

This was also my first TVOTR album.  I was about to take a road trip and wanted to get a new CD.  I remember Trent Reznor speaking highly of them, as they opened for several of the NIN shows in 2006.  I trust Trent's taste in music, and so when I saw that shiny, brand new TV On The Radio "Return To Cookie Mountain" CD on the shelf, I knew that it would be a solid choice.  That turned out to be an understatement.  This album rocks so hard.  Really happy I bought it that day.  Thank you Trent!

I'm currently going thru the rest of their catalog to prepare for the upcoming shows in LA next month.  I'm on the Seeds album now, and so far, amazing.  Not a song that I don't like.  Can't wait to explore the rest of these albums.

I see on TVOTR’s socials today that they’re having a “Box Office Day” to release limited tix for the NYC shows tomorrow. Maybe something to keep an eye out for LA if you’re still looking, possibly the following weekend.

Damn I should of gone to the shows here in NY kicking myself

I saw them at the Roxy many years ago, if any of you remember that club. I also saw Fugazi there. That place was wild - all those secret little areas with people doing all kinds of crazy things.

However great their songs are on the record, they are just so much more awesome and LOUD live. One of the loudest concerts I've ever been to. POWERFUL!!!

I forgot Tunde Adebimpe had a solo album coming out later this year. Didn't know he had a single out already. This one came out a couple months ago. Sounds really good.
