Non non non, dresser le bilan de Rock En Seine une semaine après sa fin ne me semble pas être un délai poussif pour en dresser le bilan - très positif. Je suis persuadé qu'il s'agit de la durée nécessaire de macération des souvenirs; tous les souvenirs de ces performances live auxquelles nous avons assistées sont arrivés à maturation ce soir-même. Bref, entrons dans le vif du sujet - une fois de plus, le weekend aoûtien passé au domaine de St-Cloud s'est avéré riche en événements et en hédonisme musical. A défaut de miser [...]
Hey! Who turned off summer?!? It's bloody freezing outside! The season ain't over until the fat lady wakes me up at 5:30 am on Tuesday morning, so I'm off to make the most of my weekend. Hope this helps you with yours: Basement Jaxx have remixed Vampire Weekend 's "White Sky", maybe in an attempt to remind every one about how much praise and enthusiasm there was for album No.2 earlier this year. What do you think: Has Contra held up since it forst came out in January? [...]

Urban guide website Gridskipper recently profiled all of the Springsteen related Asbury Park spots. Whether it's a club he used to play or a place he alluded to in song the travel website made sure to include it. Be sure to check out the article here . Excerpt below. On Sunday Jimmy Fallon opened the 2010 Emmy's with a "Glee"-inspired take on Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." And the night before indie rockers Vampire Weekend covered Springsteen's "I'm Goin' Down" at a concert in Vancouver. The attention from [...]

Click image to download full album Sounds like: Delorean, Vampire Weekend, Delphic "Restless People - Victimless Crime" What's so good? You've got to hand it to a band who, when asked to describe their own music, will tell it like it is. On their website, Brooklyn-based Restless People describe their first single, Victimless Crime, as the following: "Finger point/boogie/windmill/2-step/ lie on bed and stare at ceiling/head bob/strut." The band certainly doesn't come up [...]
Phish parking lot ( more by Ryan Barkan ) " Vampire Weekend 's Tomson is upfront about his jam band days but protects the identities of others. "I don't want to out anybody," he says. But [Real Estate's Alex] Bleeker sees greater acceptance on the horizon. It will be a vibe-heavy, groovy new world, where nobody will be ashamed to let their songs soar past the seven-minute mark. "I don't want 'jam band' to be a dirty word in the indie-rock community anymore," he says." [ Washington Post [...]
The song is called "I'm Going Down." I got a little carried away with the headline.
Over the weekend Vampire Weekend covered Bruce Springsteen's "I'm Going Down" at one of their live shows. I wished for a studio version of because I enjoyed it so much. Well I sorta got my wish. The band recently performed a live studio cover of the song for 107.1 The End . The result is a really great, clear, recording of the cover. The band does it plenty of justice. Ezra's vocal performance was quite impressive. Download it below: [mp3]: Vampire Weekend - I'm Going Down (Bruce Springsteen Cover) [...]
A few weeks back, Pitchfork spoke with Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend for their 5-10-15-20 series, and for an album he enjoyed in his 25th year of life, he lists Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA. Of "I'm Going Down" he says, "For a while, "I'm Goin' Down" was my favorite, and I listened to that constantly. Partially, it may have been the headspace that I was in at the time. It had this happy feel, but somewhat depressing lyrics about going down. There's this weird mix of bummed out and cheerful about going down. That [...]

Memphis è l'album di debutto dei Magic Kids da Memphis. (volevo partire con un palindromo e per poco non ce la facevo!) Di Memphis mi ha colpito la copertina in primo luogo, mi ricordava quella di Expo 86 dei Wolf Parade , in secondo luogo null'altro. Ovviamente i Wolf Parade non centrano niente, se dovessi fare dei nomi attuali direi Apples In Stereo, Hidden Cameras e Vampire Weekend. Tuttavia le assonanze più calzanti si trovano ngli anni 60 e mi riferisco più precisamente ai Beach Boys. La [...]
When not getting sued for $2 million by Ann Kirsten Kennis , Vampire Weekend keep themselves busy playing some of the biggest festivals in the world, and trying their hand at covering the Boss. The quartet from New York City have added Bruce Springsteen's 1985 hit 'I'm Goin' Down' to their recent setlists. The band performed the song recently at an acoustic session for Seattle radio session 107.72s show The End . The acoustic version is a stripped down cover of Springsteen's ballad, and takes away much of the bombast (and the sax solo) [...]

This is a collection of odds and ends, of those vitamins you need in your diet but can't find anywhere else or simply haven't come across before. Here they are! First up is the title track of the eagerly anticipated Salem album, King Night . Dark and majestic, this will test the bass on your speakers to the best, creating a sinister atmosphere, that whets the appetite for the rest of the album, which is due to drop on September 28. Salem - King Night [...]
The Morning Benders - "All Day Day Light" from Jack Ferry on Vimeo. Here's the music video for The Morning Bender's song "All Day Day Light." The track reminds me of a Vampire Weekend style song, which I'd say is somewhat fitting for the UC Berkeley grads. Is it fair to say that The Morning [...] Read more at www.SFCritic.com

Well, it looks like James Mercer wasn't the only one doing his thing while The Shins took a break. While his frontman was off gallivanting with Dangermouse, Shins gutarist Eric D. Johnson released an excellent LP with his own band – Fruit Bats – and now The Playlist is reporting that Johnson has scored the new Max Winkler film, Ceremony . The film, which stars Uma Thurman and Michael Angarano, marks the directorial debut of Winkler (yes, the son of Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz ), [...]
For a guy with as many album delays as Kid Cudi , he sure has had quite a few new songs drop of late. First there was "Erase Me" , then his collabo with Best Coast and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmangliji , then "REVOFEV" (aka the song that was supposed to cushion the blow of his latest delay but didn't), and then his inclusion on the G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape with "Wylin' Cause I'm Young". Ready for another? As of press time, we still don't [...]
