What you say No-one has reviewed Return To Cookie Mountain by TV On The Radio yet. Give us your opinion on Return To Cookie Mountain by TV On The Radio. What we say This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic. I'd say the only gig that's ever had both me and our man Clint both "rocking" at the exact same time, all the way through was TV on the Radio a couple of years ago. They sent shivers up my spine throughout, precisely because they looked & felt so natural but offered a sublime & original take on thought provoking electrified  pop. On 'Return to Cookie Mountain', the Peter Gabriel-isms remain. The songs are unfurling many-layered epics that build so gracefully & open up gradually (like a butterfly of sound - hahaha) as there's so much to take in first listen. Denser than it's predecessor, the magical songwriting hasn't been diluted at all. It's the slow to mid tempo pace of the best songs that allows these atmosphere laden gems to breathe life into your jaded musical heart. I can't be arsed namechecking bands as there's not many that come anyplace close but in a sphere of their own creation, TV on the Radio are No. 1 in my heart! Album of the week without a quibble.

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.
