In a recent interview with MTV, TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe revealed that the band is planning a one year sabbatical from their full-time job of making incredible music. After nearly a year straight of taking their high energy live show around the globe, they’re tired of seeing each other’s indie faces while living on a bus. Said Adebimpe, “We’ve been on tour for almost a year now...it’s basic cabin fever.” Understandable. It’s a kind deed for TVOTR for three reasons:
1. It will give other bands a chance by opening up a guaranteed spot on Year End Top Ten lists.
2. It will remind fans that they shouldn’t count on a mind-blowing TVOTR album EVERY year.
3. It will give the boys a chance to concentrate on other mind-blowing ventures - Kyp Malone is releasing an LP under the moniker Rain Machine, David Sitek is producing Wale’s debut LP and a bunch of other great music, and Tunde Adebimpe is almost certainly going to flex his acting chops a bit more.
Enjoy the year off, TV On The Radio! See you next time you rock through town!

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)

Very interesting take on this song. Not a huge fan. I have been searching covers for about an hour now and so far the only quality tracks came out of this site:

Of course they would cover David Bowie they owe so much to him (and Peter Gabriel)
