I've been digging the latest ultra-groovy TV on the Radio release, Dear Science. It's about the closest thing they've made to a Prince record, although there's an evident strain in the attempt to be completely funky, similar to the Talking Heads early releases. This video for the tune 'Golden Age' reminded me of the elaborate sets my brother and I made for our Masters of the Universe toys in the 80's. It also brought back memories of the Jacksons early 80's promo for 'Can You Feel It'. I won't elaborate any further, just see for yourself. Maybe you will agree that 'Golden Age' is the 'Can You Feel It' for 2008/2009.

The Age of Miracles, The Age of Sound....
Happy New Year y'all! Here is a little something that will fill you with sense of optimism about the coming year. Or maybe you'll just cringe. It's a pair of over-the-top, cheese and effects filled music videos.

It actually reminds me more of the Prince "Alphabet Street" video and the fact that they sound a bit like him doesn't hurt either
Or wait am I thinking of Raspberry Beret? Either one fits I think
Hmm I haven't checked out their new one yet...but you know how I feel about TV on the Radio ;)
