Sometimes you need a record that's rough around all the right edges. Sometimes you need an album with harpsichord solos. Thankfully, both can be found in Vampire Weekend's eponymous debut.Leaping out of the blogosphere and into your local Target, Vampire Weekend formed at Columbia University in early 2006, released a much-discussed EP in 2007, and now this proper full-length in January.

Part four is upon us already and in this little examination we scrutinise the hard work of the mighty Vampire Weekend, Roots Manuva, Kelli Ali and some bloke called Axl's band whose name I can't remember. VAMPIRE WEEKEND - VAMPIRE WEEKEND Possibly the best debut of the year, with tracks like "A-Punk" and "Oxford Comma" being heard everywhere throughout the year. There's not one flaw on this ...

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. It was actually my first time seeing them live, and though I guess I've hardly blogged about them, I, like [...]

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 ...

Photo by Dese'Rae L. Stage Chromeo work their remixing skills on Vampire Weekend's "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance" to turn it into a dance floor ready track. I remember A-Trak dropping this back in August in Toronto at the Time Festival and everyone goin' nuts. I love the sequenced bassline and the chorus [...]

As Stereogum points out this morning, Vampire Weekend has a countdown running on the site ithinkuraconta.com. Contra, of course, is the recently-announced name of the band's new album... so what do you think's going to happen at 2:30PM EST today? It probably rhymes with "few mingle," if you catch my drift... stay tuned. UPDATE: The site now redirects to a stream and free download of "Horcha...

I always thought that Vampore Weekend were name checking the British counterpart to their ivy league alma mater with this tune. Then I thought...you know, they have some preppy style, so maybe this ditty is about their favorite type of lace-ups. But then when I hit the ol' Google function for the dictionary definition of "Oxford Comma" it all finally came to me full circle. The 'Oxford com...

It's been a bad two weeks for Vampire Weekend. The preppy indie rock band's UK tour has been cursed. Just last week the hyped band had to cancel two UK concerts because keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij had been sidelined with a gastric infection. Batmanglij also missed last night's Shockwaves NME Awards in London. The Awards show, however, spelled disaster for another Vampire Weekend member, drum...
