Vampire Weekend

[Dry then Catch]

So, how do you kids and your indie music and myspaces and America Onlines feel about "Vampire Weekend"?  My friend in Brooklyn told me about them and then laster that day I coincidentally heard a blurb about the band on NPR.   They are Austin City Limits potential band, so that is some triple hipster cred.   I broke down and downloaded it from Itunes.  Not bad catchy, light pop with academic lyrics and a weird classical chamber sound (Oxford Comma).

i've only heard the couple songs they play on alt nation. mansard roof, and a-punk.

both are pretty good. not something i'd have to rush out to get, but if i were at target, and they were on the "what's new in alternative" shelf, i'd probably pick it up.

yeah, its an easy listen but it grows on me every time.  I actually prefer these 2 songs:

I don't get the indie pop thing.  If pop is what you want, the mainstream has plenty.

The other day, or a few weeks back, when I posted about some bands I'd heard about, this band was one of them, but I couldn't remember the name.  So really, I get the indy cred for having heard of them first.  Suck on that, Catchr.

its more of semantical thing mislabeling?  I don't think Vampire Weekend or like Band of Horses has much in common with Lil Wayne Featuring Static Major

oh yeah

Indy cred?  I think Hatt probably has the most of that? 

[Jessie]

Not any more.  I'm probably the closest to Indy now.   No, I guess nishi has me beat by about 30 miles.

I'll be driving through Indy on my way to the west coast. I can stop and ask about the pop scene when I'm there if you want me to.

I love that t-shirt.

The new Band of Horses disc is really good.  eo000 will back me up on that.
