TV on the Radio is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2001. For most of the band's existence, the core band lineup has been Tunde Adebimpe (vocals, loops), David Andrew Sitek (guitars, keyboards, loops), Kyp Malone (vocals, guitars, bass, loops) and Jaleel Bunton (drums, vocals, loops, guitars) as official members. Gerard Smith (bass, keyboards) was with the band from 2005 until his death in 2011. Other contributors have included David Bowie, Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead, Martin Perna of Antibalas, Colin Stetson, and Katrina Ford of Celebration. The group has released several EPs including their debut Young Liars (2003), and five studio albums: Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (2004), Return to Cookie Mountain (2006), Dear Science (2008), Nine Types of Light (2011), and Seeds (2014).

TV on the Radio's lead singer Tunde Adebimpe clarified to Music Feeds that Happy Idiot's lyrics were about distancing from the shock of an event and placing oneself in danger.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, guitarist Dave Sitek explained the step by step process of "Happy Idiot". Stiek started creating the song at Sonic Ranch by arranging the musical instruments. After songwriters Daniel Ledinsky and Erik Hassle created the melody, the rest of TV on the Radio added their contributions to complete the song.

A blues backing track I did in 2005. I just found it on an old hard drive, so here it is free to anyone who can use it. Keep practicing!
When I had a solo gig in La Paz in 2005-2007 playing various instruments to backing tracks I had made, like this one, this was a crowd favorite.
You can hear the original version as recorded by Frank Zappa on the album "Weasles Ripped My Flesh" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdZKJOVH2WM

Directly From My Heart To You

Utilizando patrones simples, un poco de conocimiento armonía y tu imaginación se pueden construir líneas de bajo que suenan interesantes y establecer el movimiento armónico de la canción. En este ejemplo, el piano y la batería se desvanecen para que pueden escuchar cómo la línea de bajo indica claramente los acordes de la canción "Fly Me to the Moon".
