After TV on The Radio's (extremely) sub-par performance on SNL a few weeks ago, I wrote about how disappointed I was in whoever was in charge of sound that night. TVOTR had something to say as well.

...In other TVOTR news, I got tickets to see them in June! Maybe.
TV on the Radio is a front-runner in the never ending "America's Radiohead" contest, and they released probably the best reviewed album of 2008 (the unbelievable Dear Science). They've also been known to put on mind-numbingly awesome live shows. But this weekend on Saturday Night Live, they sounded awful.
TVOTR played "Golden Age" and "Dancing Choose." The latter was better than the former, but both sounded sloppy and unbalanced. Apparently, SNL has a sketchy history with sound so I think I can chalk up the lackluster performance to poor sound technicians. Thank goodness. I had been really looking forward to their set and was pretty disappointed to hear them sound so muddy.
