TV On The Radio - Nine Types of Light

Nine Types of Light is as much an album as it is a movie by TV on the Radio. The movie is meant to be a visual re-imagining of the record, and includes a music video for every song on the album. The band personally asked their friends and the filmmakers they admired to help direct the music videos. Tunde Adebimpe, the director for the full Nine Types of Light movie, storybooked the music videos together with interviews from local New Yorkers on various topics, including dreams, love, fame and the future. Tunde also directed the music video for Forgotten. Nine Types of Light, both the album and the movie are set to release on April 12, 2011.

Sometimes I forget that the indicator of real music is that it has to be from a certain genre and time period and every band that doesn't fit within that time frame is automatically inferior. But hey, you seem like you've got yourself all figured out, so who am I to judge? You like that stuff, I like this stuff, and in ten years we'll both be listening to our selection of music. So rock on, man. Just rock on on the videos of bands you like. I'll chill here. Cool man, cool.

This type of music is COMPLETELY different from what you like to listen to, given the bands you listed. That doesn't make it any better or worse, it simply means that it isn't what you're into. I've listened extensively to all of the bands that you've listed and I like them. Guess what? I like this too. I get that you don't, but realize there are no objective truths in musical opinions. A person's taste in music is as unique as the individual. There is no good and bad, just like and dislike.

i appreciate your appreciation...

[Tyler Fleming]

Someone who gets it. :)

Oi mate! This is Youtube, take your rational thoughts elsewhere! Haha, but seriously its nice to hear some common sense!

This is not meant to be racist:

I always have a private giggle that a band as cool as this has a token white guy. To continue the reversing of stereotypes, I will justify my comment by saying 'It's okay cos I'm white.'

;)

[Tyler Fleming]

My gosh people. Enjoy the damn song, and stop trying to tell people that your mortal being has a superior existence because you could understand words when these guys formed their band. You're not special, so just fuck off or let your ears consume their pure awesomeness of music.

fantastic!

A lot of the previous generation, like me, say modern popular music is basically crap...but this is good stuff. There was crap back in our day too young ones, but we played a lot more cool stuff on the radio all the time too. So please, some of you out there, work your way in and start making new labels...get the crap off the radio and push the true creators into the forefront. Diggin' it.
