there was a conversation not too long ago about whether or not music could be intellectual and enjoyable at the same time. either way you like to look at it, TV on the Radio is one of the few bands that can walk that fine line, making music with progressive ideas while maintaining a level of enjoyable pop sensibility. off Dear Science, “DLZ” has grown to be a favorite..

what a killer hodgepodge of sounds. i wasn’t surprised when i found out these brooklynites were a sub-pop band, or that they are made up of indie vets from Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, Edsel and Shortstack.. blame you came out in march and it has some great garage rock on it. most importantly, they have a killer photo section on their myspace.

Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros – “40 Day Dream”
after living the “major label” lifestyle with his prior band Ima Robot, front man Alex Ebert has found a new alias, cleansed in the sounds of his organic LA folk rock outfit Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros. damn zagat-me.. initial financing for the project came from the one the only Heath Ledger and his beloved Masses involvement. the 11-12 piece band just released the bohemian inspired EP Here Comes May 19 and will be releasing their full length debut on July 14. stoked to see these guys work their magic live..
