 TV on the Radio are fucking great aren't they? I mean really, really great. There's something really pleasing about this band and everything they do, and this year, they beat the hype that surrounded them and released what I would say is, their best record yet. Some of even dared to compare it to 'OK Computer' in its opaque lyrics and context (a huge superpower of a country going through Change) but it does have some fantastic tunes and some really clever themes, both musically and lyrically running through it, and is simply a triumph. |

 First time around I completely missed both this record and the trio of garage rocking Texans that wrote it. It wasn't until hearing it that I recognised "that was from the Channel 4 advert", but there's so much to this record than that. The thing is, my ignorance aside, there isn't a record that has rocked so hard all year. But its not just about rocking out, there's dancing, sing-a-longs, masquerades, psychedelic wig-outs and generally a good, if slightly weird, time. |

 I sometimes wonder about Calvin Harris prancing around in those bug eye sunglasses. No, not in that way... |
