Vampire Weekend


This exchange in my 'best of 2007' post comments pretty much sums up this band:

"I'm really hating The Vampire Weekend. I don't understand what all of the hype is about."

"I've read reviews that talk about how Vampire Weekend are a love em or hate em band, and in a way I can see why. It could be a bit too precious for some. I listen and I hear talent and catchy songs. Basically I don't know what else to say, this is one of the reasons I hate putting words to music. To me, it just clicks, it works, the hooks hit me and make me want to snap my fingers and sway my hips. To each his own."






Thanks to taper markp for sharing this on Dime so quickly, and to flickr user dazzling velours for the pic.

Buy the new self-titled debut from Vampire Weekend for 11 bucks, plus a 7" and other merchandise from Kung Fu Nation.

wow - spiffy fansite, nice work!

also - yeah, I was disappointed that "Boston" was left off the album, it was one of my favorite tracks from the CD-R

er, oh yeah, "Boston" is on the end of "Bryn" - durrrp! Finally listened to this one all the way through and heard "Boston" and thought immediately about the above comment. Sorry I didn't catch that at first, it was tracked by the taper.
