Wow, Vampire Weekend might actually be good after all.
Ok, Let me first promise to you that I will not get into a La Blogotheque rut as a means to produce cheap blog fodder, but JEEZ...it's so good that I almost can't help myself. I could spend hours on that website, and so much of what I find inspires me in a way that brings on this serious need to share.
If your like me, you've been hearing about Vampire Weekend for a little while now. Enough to make you not want to like it, it almost seems too damn popular. Be honest, you have a secret affection for hating what everyone else loves. Popularity is inherently suspicious.
I was just joking with some friends over dinner the other night that this is the very reason I dislike Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's not because he's a ginger (thanks Tyler!) and it's not because he's one of those three name dudes who emerged from the late 90s, it's because I could imagine somebody saving one of his used tissues and calling it thespian gold.
Nevertheless, I ran across this video last night and realized that perhaps the reason Vampire Weekend had become an overnight sensation is because they might actually be good. There, I said it. And I loved that pasty man in Boogie Nights, short shorts and all.
Watch this and tell me this doesn't sound amazing. When the keyboard kicks in, it's magic.
