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...

I usually run away from hype like a scared little girl from a pervy old man. But, I, thankfully didn't hear all the hype on Vampire Weekend until I got the album in my hands. All I have to say is believe the hype. These guys are so good it makes my ears bleed.Thing is they're not deep, or prog, or challenging, or any of that. It's just straight ahead pop music made by a bunch of kooky NY boys. ...

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 div...

Just found out about these guy's, don't have a whole lot of info on them yet, but I don't think they've released a full-length yet, just an EP. They definitely sound promising though. Here is one of their standout tracks I've been digging.

Apparently VW’s new album isn’t quite released, but their music is spreading all over. I can think of a few people who will read this blog who are going to want to know about this band.The thing is, being they type to browse music and find everything I can, I tend to have more days of finding pretty good stuff than anything. But, from time to time I find a band that blows me away, and every so

What more needs to say about a band that is less then 3 years old and has put out a note perfect album, to boot? Nothing really. So I'll let the music do the talking. Here is one of the rare cases in which the band lives up to the hype. I dare you to not get these songs stuck in your head.xJmxPTEyMTM3MzgxNTMwNTEmcHQ9MTIxMzczODU3MDMyMCZwPTE4NDMzMSZkPSZuPSZnPTE=.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="0" h...

There is something intriguing and almost unnatural about the fact that I am continuously drawn towards Vampire Weekend. The light-hearted melodies with simple accompaniment of organ, harpsichord, strings, and flute, turn the clock back to the times of invincibility and carefree college days. Vampire Weekend is a four member New York City indie band, that slightly nods towards the afro-pop genre...

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma (zshare) Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma (ysi) Christmas tip: Give this to the girl you're in love with, but for whom you've got no words and from whom you only receive snappy replies and lies which you feel aren't as cruel and sincere as they seem but instead insecure and shy.

These days I spend my time searching online for the next artist to overheat my ipod. I look for the kind of music that acts as a jolt of electricity to my own creative process. Something to force my brain into a lyric/riff writing mode. I consistantly find myself running out of the so-called "creative juice" within about 20 minutes and continue to be forever cursed with writters block (a curse ...
