Of course it's a little vague but hey, at least we know its coming this year. Taken from Entertainment Weekly, the news on album number two read a little something like this: After that, it’ll be back to Brooklyn, where the band hopes to finish its second album in time for a September release.

I don’t think there was a record in 2008 that I listened to more than Vampire Weekends awesome debut. I am still obsessing over it. Practically everyone on campus blasts it, and random bands that play outside on campus have been seen playing songs like ‘Oxford Comma’. Well Entertainment Weekly interviewed lead singer/guitarist Ezra Koenig [...]

I am so psyched to get a hold of these clutch gems. A good friend of mine in New York City who’s in and out of the circle of trust within XL Records and a few other labels passed me on a pretty exciting, exclusive sneak peak at what Vampire Weekend’s been up to. This [...]

I’m trying to get through all the things I’ve managed to miss over the last few weeks and one of them happens to be Vampire Weekend’s performance on Jimmy Fallon. They performed their new song “White Sky” that might possibly be on a new album in the fall. What can I say? The song sounds [...]

Vampire Weekend at The Wellmont Theatre (12/08/08) Photos: Jon Klemm As I am fan of both of Paul Simon and The English Beat, I thoroughly enjoyed Vampire Weekend's homecoming show at The Wellmont Theatre on Monday night.

For me Vampire Weekend represents something of a guilty indulgence. You know the story of the Brooklyn band that generated online buzz with songs referencing the colors of Benetton, Louis Vuitton and the landscape of Cape Cod; not exactly gritty indie topic matter. Yet, it's hard to deny their infectious, "happy" Afro-pop melodies that seem [...]

As legend has it I was the guy behind the guy that got this daily music news and musing site on its feet, and was also a huge fan from day one. When Ace decided to step down earlier this year I got the call up to the big leagues after toiling over my own indie-jam blog for something like two and a half years to share daily writing duties with Scotty and have enjoyed every minute of bringing my ...

I don't like hating. You will be hard pressed to find a bad review written on this site. I figure, why waste time ripping someone a new one, when that time can be spent hooking up someone with exponentially more talent. That said... ...let's take a brief look at the 10 things that was irkin' our gherkin all the year through. 10. Coldplay I hate you. 9. Miley Cyrus' Face and Lack of Mu...

Yesterday I posted the video for this performance where Vampire Weekend covered Plastic Bertrand's 'Ça Plane Pour Moi'. Since somebody requested an mp3 version here it is. The sound qualiy isn't great and it abruptly comes to an end because the person recording the footage ran out of memory. You can download the song below.
