Much like its sonic accompaniment, the video for TV On The Radio’s “Golden Age” is pretty great in so many ways, I’d probably run out of characters in this text-entry box to describe it. Sure, it has references to Joy Division and the Care Bears, to the Village People and to Voltron, all of which are played out on a blue-sky background that’s seemingly within reach at any moment. But what I can’t stop seeing is a clip that feels like the only culmination of a long life spent inhaling the culture (and “culture”) of the cable-TV era, from the time of those clicky plastic boxes that could descramble the Playboy Channel if you hit the right buttons all the way through to the HD-ed out present.
