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 [...]

It's been 13 years since Wes Anderson's first movie, Bottle Rocket, hit theaters. Since then, he's directed a slew of increasingly high-profile and critically acclaimed films: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic, and The Darjeeling Limited. While the last two of these movies have had mixed reviews, Anderson has finally returned to form this year with the Fantastic Mr. Fox, a clay...

Available digitally as of this very moment but physically on December 15th, 'Cousins' is Vampire Weekend's newest single and it's just been given a video. Taken from their forthcoming January 12th follow-up L. P Contra, the track is short, spunky and full of typically VW bombast.

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...

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’ve a special place in my black heart for popular artists working in much-derided genres who nonetheless do great work. Work on par, or (shock! horror!) better, than that from mediums or genres that most people automatically assume to be high art – like theatre, ballet, or dubstep. The world of pop is a much-derided genre. It’s seen as frivolous, fey and, indeed, gay. Of course, if anybod

Oh, Vampire Weekend. Those quirky, chirpy hipsters from New York City we all know and love are gearing up to release their second album, ‘Contra’, on XL Recordings in January 2010. And they’ve just released the video they filmed to go with the first single to be released from the new album. Called [...]

Once again I have to take a moment to recognize some amazing production. This time I have to give it up to Bloodshy & Avant aka producers of Miike Snow, many Britney Spears and Madonna to name a few. The new sound they’ve cooked up for Miike Snow is really impressive. The synth and sample [...]Related posts:Vampire Weekend – CampusMiike Snow – AnimalHot Chip & Peter Gabriel – Cape Cod Kwas
