Vampire Weekend


As far as I am concerned, Vampire Weekend might be one of the most enjoyable bands. Your first listen will go like this: Wow. This sounds like The Beach Boys, Paul Simon (Rhythm of the Saints era), and about 10-200 different bands. Second listen: Did they really put together those instruments? Third listen: Where did this music come from? In other words, it's like saying a Rothko painting is only two colors, you're wrong. (If you are unfamiliar with Mark Rothko's paintings, check him out while you listen to Vampire Weekend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rothko)

Pandora won't play Vampire Weekend, so my first listen will have to be at your house when we are down there this weekend. Maybe we can go to a dark corner of your house and have our minds blown.
