When the guys in TV on the Radio aren't putting out awesome new albums (see Return to Cookie Mountain in today's Best New Music), they're playing with Nine Inch Nails and Bauhaus, shooting hoops, getting bossed around by kids in business suits, and spreading the word about the new LP via David Cross and a Brooklyn-wide game of "Telephone." See for yourself in the following clips:
