Vampire Weekend

OK, I am, or try to be resistent to hype - but in this case, these guys deserve it.I saw the video a while back. Thought it was one of the better crop. The album, though, is great. Just really, really strong - in the same way that Amy Winehouse's Back to Black was two years ago.Most highly recommended for anyone who likes Yo La Tengo, the Lefte Bank, the Specials. The influences are kind of diverse...

    deadmandeadman says I was just getting ready to scroll through your post but at the last minute you mentioned, Yo La Tengo, The Left Banke, & The Specials, so of course I had to listen.

    deadmandeadman says Yeah, and the odd part is, the "touchstones" you name check are very apt. And now I hear The Left Banke I in Yo La Tengo. I've listened to YLT for years and never made the connection to the LB, but now I wonder How I missed it. thanks for this.
