So as many of you know, last week in our KTW vs. ETC blog, Kyle T. Wilson asserted (wrongly) that of the two singles released so far from the upcoming TV on the Radio album, “Golden Age” was better than “Dancing Choose.” He was, of course wrong. But for whatever reason he’s stuck to his erroneous position. And yesterday, he sent me an email with a link to the following video for “Golden Age.” And nothing else. Well played, Mr. Wilson. But we’ll meet again tomorrow for a versus on the new Passion Pit EP, and we’ll see who’s chortling at the (mostly) black nerd band, the dancing cops, and the random animal-headed people tower then. Yes, you’ll have to watch the video to get even half of that last sentence. See you...

. A Nerd Versus by Kyle T. Wilson and Ernessa T. Carter Our favorite (mostly) black nerd band, TV on The Radio released the second single from their upcoming third album on Tuesday. Are we still in love? First the song: Then Kyle’s Take: I’m over-the-moon in love with TV on the Radio’s new single from their forthcoming album, Dear Science.  The song is “Golden Age,” and it’s absolute po-mo disco perfection. It’s a little bit smart-assed, like Midnite Vultures-era Beck, but without a hint of parody.  It’s also somehow dreamy and ethereal, like beatific Zooropa-era Bono.  It feels authentic too, like New York in the 70s, or even the 80s, which might be less apt but seems somehow cooler.  Imagine a scene from Paris is Burning or Grace Jones dancing in Keith Haring-applied bodypaint as you listen.  I used to find this band merely interesting; now I want them underscoring my next night on the town, complete with a hot new outfit, Delia Hauser-approved shoes and androgynously cool eye make-up. I wasn’t asked to comment on “Golden Age.”  Instead, I got the new album’s second single, “Dancing Choose.”  If “Golden Age” is disco, this song is more pogo, like the way we used to jump up and down whenever the DJ would play “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” at school dances.  Or when Ernessa and I were hopping around to The Go-Gos at that Monday night party during finals week in some grad director’s apartment in Pittsburgh.  Remember that, Ernessa?  And then the cops closed it down?  I know…crazy, right?  Now can you skip back to “Golden Age” again?  Thanks. And Then Ernessa’s Take after the jump: Now the first time I heard “Dancing Choose,” it was hate...
