The emporer’s new band
Seriously everyone? What’s with all the hoopla over the band Vampire Weekend? Am I listening to the same thing that others are? I just don’t get it. It’s like a hoax, like the bonsai kittens website. Someone spread it out as a hoax as an upcoming band and now everyone is too embarassed to say that they don’t care for them.
I don’t get it either. I also think it’s a really dumb name for a band.

Douchey Columbia kids who’s fan base is primarily made up of drunken frat dudes…..seriously Vampire Weekend are no Crystal Castles NOR Beach House.

Whew. So glad I’m not alone on this one. I felt like everyone but me was offered (and drank) the magic kool-aid. My co-workers - usually a similar group in what we like musically- are loving this band and I keep having to listen to it. And what is up with the lyrics? If I have to listen to that “Blake’s - got a new face!” bit again Blake really is going to have a new face…

Thank you! Did you read my review of this awhile ago? I didn’t like it, but I felt like I should.
