What you say No-one has reviewed Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes by TV On The Radio yet. Give us your opinion on Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes by TV On The Radio. What we say This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic. First up TV On The Radio. The people that made the best record of the whole of last year with their sublime, sumptuous 'Young Liars' EP. Well they now have their debut LP available via the nice people at 4AD. Its called 'Desperate Youth Blood Thirsty Babes' which goes straight in at No 1 of the awful titles list but the music contained within is quite brilliant. How do I describe them? The vocalist sounds exactly EXACTLY like Peter Gabriel, there's Pixies like guitar and AR Kane noises fluttering about. It's art rock, it draws on gospel, soul, indie, barbershop and hip hop. They look brilliant.  This album maybe, maybe doesn't quite live up to the stunning 'Young Liars' but is still the most original thing I've heard for awhile. If you only buy one record ever buy 'Young Liars' but if you buy your fair share you must add this one to the pile. CD and Dbl Vinyl.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
