Once again, I feel obliged to mention what a spectacular year 2013 has been for music. Some of my very favorite bands have released records and I've found some new loves as well. This was the hardest list for me to narrow down, personally. It existed at eleven songs until about two days ago when I forced myself to make the cut. These lists are gathered from songs that had lyrics that cut straight to the bone ( And now I'm running til my legs pull tight / and I've never cried so hard in my [...]

This sounds just like a Vampire Weekend record. That is, it’s influenced by Paul Simon and modern r’n’b, it has knowing lyrics that read like a Sunday supplement, and it’s played with a preppy zing. The cover features a picture of a cloud-shrouded New York City and the band seem to be creating their own mythology of the Columbia-educated smart guys who are men of letters as well as men of the people, synthesising soft-rock, reggae and classical music with Bret Easton Ellis langauge. If you liked the first two records, you’ll love this; if not, there’s [...]

The new video for Vampire Weekend 's "Diane Young" is out, and it features a ton of people you know: Santigold, Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen), Sky Ferreira, Dave Longstreth (Dirty Progrectors), Chromeo. It also features a dude in a balaclava (see above) whose identity **SPOILER ALERT** is never revealed. This leads me to want to speculate wildly on the man (or woman?) behind the mask. Here are my top three suggestions: Kurt Cobain Rivers Cuomo River Phoenix [...]
Longtime HT faves Vampire Weekend dropped their official video for the double entendre titled Diane Young this week. This song that takes some getting used to compared to the earlier material, but it's definitely hooks you in sooner or later. The video has plenty of funny details including a Last Supper reference, a creative use for the saxophone and a nod to the Brooklyn Nets. The new album Modern Vampires in the City marks a progressive step forward for Vampire Weekend, but without jeopardizing the hooky sound that brought people on board in the first place.
El clip corresponde al tema Diane Young , perteneciente al último disco de la banda, Modern Vampires of the City , y cuenta con la participación de varios artistas invitados. Diane Young es el primer video de Modern Vampires of the City y en él se puede ver al grupo en una celebración bastante particular a la que también fueron invitados Chromeo , Santigold , Dave Longstreth de [...]

PARTY: ON. Last supper, a dope saxophone and familiar faces. Here is the brand new Vampire Weekend video, directed by Primo Kahn.

Vampire Weekend already got plenty of attention for “Diane Young,” the frantic first single from their truly great new album Modern Vampires Of The City, when they burned a couple of Saabs in the lyric video . But now, they've released a proper video (though that really depends on your definition of 'proper'). It starts out with an anarchic dinner party and filling it with indie-universe celebrities in cameo appearances. The big party includes Santigold, Sky Ferreira, both members of Chromeo, Dirty Projector Dave Longstreth, Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser, and probably more I [...]

Vampire Weekend invito a media docena de amigos para su nuevo video 'Diane Young' , entre ellos vemos a Chromeo , Sky Ferrera , Santigold y Dave Longstreth. Fue dirigido por Primo Kahn . El tema que se desprende de su reciente producción Modern Vampires Of The City muestra una escena con poses muy teatrales en donde los invitados en la mesa hastiados e inapetentes, comen o tiran todo a su alrededor, una especie de destrucción pasiva mientras la banda interpreta el tema. [...]

Vampire Weekend - "Diane Young" There's no need to explain the track. I mean, "Diane Young"? It's a smash hit from Modern Vampires of the City. A song from a highly praised album...
O primeiro exemplo visual do que Modern Vampires of the City tem para oferecer, tem o insinuante título “Diane Young”. À mesa, sob o olhar atento dos seus discípulos - Sky Ferreira , Santigold , Dave Longstreth , Chromeo , Primo Kahn (o realizador), Hamilton Leithauser - Jesus Cristo de balaclava na cabeça ouve a guitarra de música para surfistas e os gaguejos de Ezra Koenig . Nesta convenção tempestuosa, com mais “erva” e café no sangue que a pintura original, com lutas de comida [...]

With the release of their latest album Modern Vampires of The City , VAMPIRE WEEKEND have released a series of videos for some of their most popular tracks. ‘Ya Hey’ has a very interesting theme of champagne bottles and white sheets, and a lyric video for ‘Step’ soon after a video of ‘Diane Young’ surfaced. The first video for ‘Diane Young’ was interesting, mainly because not much really happened. The video featured a car up in flames and that’s it. That’s all it was. We all obviously [...]
It turns out that the burning Saab video originally for "Diane Young," the energetic lead single from Vampire Weekend's recent Modern Vampires Of The City , wasn't the "official" video. Today, the band debuted the real thing as a modern Last Supper, featuring an array of indie heroes. Those included are; members of Dirty Projectors , The Walkmen , Chromeo , Santigold , and Sky Ferreira, having a better party than any of us are.

Vampire Weekend just gave their single " Diane Young " the proper video treatment today. And in it, the guys do the indie rock version of the last supper by inviting a bunch of their fellow musician friends over for some tasty treats and good times. Check out the new visuals below and see if you can spot all of their famous friends and the interesting way they decide to use a saxophone... iTunes [...]
Peep the new video from everyone's favorite deliciously divisive Ivy-bred indie institution Vampire Weekend . Here, the boys present a subversive Last Supper send-up as the visual accompaniment to Modern Vampires of the City 's rockabilly-meets-ironic-voic e-modulation single "Diane Young." Some of the video's dinner guests include illustrious music-makers Santigold, Sky Ferreira and Chromeo (who clearly gets invited to these things because his remix of VW's "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance" stands the test of time and still shows up on Ezra Koenig's summer barbecue playlist). There's dancing, [...]

Vampire Weekend's new album is getting unhealthy amounts of play in my world. It's as complete of a project as I've heard all year - and "Diane Young" is a clear, quirky standout. The only real answer for a visual piece to the song had to involve a bizarre take ... Read More
