-->'''Tunde Adebimpe:''' ''(From a Downhill Battle interview)'' We made this disc OK Calculator and left it in cafes and just different places. Just 24 tracks of four-track stuff. And that's on-line now. We sold a few of them on our first tour, a couple, but then the CD burner broke, etc. That's on-line and someone wrote about it as "the extremely rare but superb OK Calculator" and I'm sitting there going, "Are you kidding me?" Rare, yeah, rare because we're making them ourselves, and superb, that's not up to us, but it's not superb. (laughs) I'd be the first person to tell you. There's more hiss on some of those songs than there are songs. And it's fun, and I love it, but I wouldn't call it superb.

* ApprovalOfGod: David Bowie was a fan of the band and personally requested they cover his track "Heroes" on the War Child: Heroes charity album. He'd previously worked with them on the track Province, which increased their credibility considerably.

* BetterExportForYou: Several of their albums have bonus tracks, but of note are the tracks "Nobody Else" and "Mystery Eyes" which are only available digitally on the Japanese release of ''Seeds''. They are also available on the vinyl version. The reason for this is that they were recorded after the album (as a CD and download) originally came out.

* BigNameFan: Music/DavidBowie was an early fan of the band. He had been given a copy of ''Young Liars'' by a mutual friend, and immediately fell in love with it. He acted as TV on the Radio's mentor and biggest booster in the media for many years, including giving them his advice on how to mix ''Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes''. Dave Sitek later gave Bowie a CD of demos for ''Return to Cookie Mountain'' and he personally offered to provide backing vocals on his favorite of the tracks, "Province'', on the finished album.
