TVOTR Recording Follow-Up to RTCM!

[mhmunin]

I'm new here, and sad to see that this forum is so inactive given that TVOTR are such an amazing group.

That aside, I'm wondering if anybody here has any tips on good live or rare tracks by the band. I've come by a number of good stripped performances from their RTCM promotions (KEXP, The Current on MPR, The Interface from Spinner, and KCRW), as well a revealing acoustic performance by Kyp from July 24, 2007 at Má Fama, and some of their collaborations with Peter Murphy and Trent Reznor from their opening stints with NIN.

Anyways, the reason I signed up here was mainly to spread the good word that the guys are in the studio right now working on the follow-up to Return To Cookie Mountain. There's a brief interview with Tunde here. I can't wait to hear the results! Anybody else heard anything more concrete about possible release dates?

Also, just curious if anybody here picked up Dave Sitek's work on the Scarlett Johansson album? If you did, what did you think?

Thanks for the post, I've been wondering about the new material. I am so looking forward to this.

[mhmunin]

Figured I'd post this one too for the Hell of it. Tunde describes the new material as danceable!

[jen]

Great article. Man, I wish I could go to the Montreal Jazz Fest!!!!!

First off, here's a link to The Colophon EP.

Secondly, looks like the title of the new album is going to be Dear Science,. It's due up for a release on September 23!

Sweet! Thanks, mh.

I've heard of OK Calculator and that it's very hard to find. I don't have any rare stuff myself, but I keep an eye out.

How wierd! That link is a dude from East Lansing; we just moved from Lansing two weeks ago

I want to punch Rolling Stone in the face with my jealousy!

[jen]

Holy crap!! I can't wait! Suspense. . . is. . . killing. . . me!

I cancelled my subscription to RS because they put a 30-year-old rock band on the cover one too many times, they are slightly back in my good graces because of this.
