OK Calculator

Been listening to this early demo, "OK Calculator," by indie rock superstars and 2004 Shortlist winners TV on the Radio a bunch this week. They discuss it in an interview here.

It's 18 early tracks they threw together in an apartment in Brooklyn. Very rough, but you can hear their sound coming together, and it includes some pretty funny stuff, like they'd been listening to some old Ween records along with all the Nina Simone and Genesis.

Not for sale anywhere, from what I can tell, but why not try downloading it? I found it fairly easily on Soulseek. If you feel bad later, you can mail the band a dollar. Or buy their first official LP, "Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes," in an actual retail store somewhere, for money.
