Ezra Koenig is known as indie rock's most approachable 'front man', willing to interact with fans on twitter and with foreign fans thru his Orkut account. According to sources, he is also considering launching a vyou presence. It seems as though Ezra hosted an EXCLUSIVE live video chat. Vampire Weekend 's most dedicated fans crowded into this livechat and bombarded Koenig with deep, dark questions. Is Ezra being 'too accessible' 2 his fans? Does he look good, bb? Will he 'regret' this? Did u [...]
Was just looking for something to unwind to after a long weekend and get me excited for the upcoming week when I came across this oldie but a goodie. Never knew there was a video to this one from The Very Best and Vampire Weekend's frontman but I gotta say I'm pretty happy I came across it. Apparently Ezra Koenig dances just like me. So I got that going for me, which is nice... Warm Heart of Africa (feat. Ezra Koenig) - Warm [...]

Ezra Koenig is widely known as 'the hottest hunk in indie'. His keut looks attract any alt, and he can basically just point at girls in the crowd, then they come backstage 2 pleasure him and feed him alt grapes. Then he has them executed so that they never tell the story of 'What Really Happens in VIP.' All of these are rumors, so I'm just letting yall know what the insider vibes are. Anyways, he seems to have released a new hymn-wave mp3 that is all abt sending positive vibes [...]
Link: http://twitition.com/bvpox Ezra Koenig is the indie hunk frontman of the popular buzzband Vampires Weeknd. What you may not know about Ezra is that he has a MASSIVE PERSONAL FOLLOWING, and there are oodles of entry-level QTs who would love to bring Ezra home 2 meet their family 4 Xmas/Chanukah. It seems like some of his fans made some sort of 'petition' that may have crossed the line and could be turning Koenig's life into a complete nightmare. His fan base is cyberbullying [...]
http://www.twitter.com/arze Ezra Koenig is the sexi hot hunky frontman from the hit buzzband Vampire Weekend . In addition, he sometimes 'goes solo' and 'collabs' with lots of different indie bands. However, now it seems like he is 'trying to take his career to 'mainstream levels' by bronoodling with the cast of Jersey Shore. The Situation, Pauly D, Snickers, J-Whoa, Sammi Sweet
After stumbling upon a Mother’s Day tribute post earlier today that featured an unsurprisingly great take on a Paul Simon tune by cover song pros The Morning Benders, it occurred to me that Simon’s oeuvre — a staple of my, and perhaps their, father’s record collection — has become a notable point of reference for a number of indie bands and solo artists of late. In the past couple years, The Tallest Man on Earth , Local Natives, Jens Lekman, Conor Oberst, Ezra Koenig, Spoon, and others have turned in reverent renditions of songs penned by [...]
Ezra Koenig and Danny Devito were two of Coachella 's most Very Important VIPs in attendance at Coachella . It seems like they had a chance to really bro down in a relevant VIP area, sharing ideas. Ezra chose to stay hydrated with a bottle of water, while Danny DeVito's 4'6" frame decided to 'get shitfaced.' They look like true bros, and I wouldn't be surprised if Danny DeVito was asking Ezra to 'make love to his daughter like a true rock star would' [via indecent/creepy proposals]. But that's just another day in [...]
Chromeo 's "I Could Be Wrong" finally saw it's live debut this past weekend during the band's Coachella set. The electronic-pop group of course brought out their friend Ezra Koenig
Ezra Koenig is considered to be one of the most-desired indie hunks in all of music. He has many fan blogs dedicated to his talent and good looks. These Ezra super-fans were treated to a delightful treat when Ezra Koenig sang "I Could Be Wrong" on stage with Chromeo at Coachella . In addition, he played the sax on stage, throwing down a 'sick solo' which might establish him as the 'Alt-Kenny G' even though Kenny G plays the sax that is shaped like a long, skinny peen. [...]
I love Vampire Weekend . I love Paul Simon . I love this cover. Its simple and perfect. I would NOT change one thing about it! It actually filled me up with a ton of emotion when I first listened to it. VW frontman, Ezra Koenig decided to cover this Paul Simon 's tune "Papa Hobo" for the upcoming film, Ceremony . Ceremony is an indie-flick that was just released limitedly. It was directed by Max Winkler and stars Uma Thurman ! [...]
So I guess in between Ezra Koenig writing new material for Vampire Weekend's third album, touring, and partying with hipsters he records solo songs for soundtracks. Always the lover of the 19702s pop, Koenig covered Paul Simon's Papa Hobo for the upcoming film Ceremony ( TRAILER ). The indie darling nails this cover with airy, bare bones vocals and perfect guitar plucking. Fleetwood Mac and The Boss have previously covered Papa Hobo, two artists that Ezra seems to be very fond of, but I think this is the best of the bunch. After hearing so many different solo successes by [...]
Monday, April 11, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: Just want to throw out a very strong recommendation to see Hanna. It's easily one of the better films that I've seen this year! GO. Tunes and words. Enjoy. : Chad VanGaalen - Sara : Chad has been putting out great music for years, so I wasn't the least bit surprised when this turned out to be a song I had to share. However, I was caught off-guard by how simplistic [...]
Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig recorded a version of Paul Simon's "Papa Hobo" for the upcoming film Ceremony . He doesn't much mess with the melody and thus retains the original's small, hometown-stroll feel. His vocals don't have quite the same weary bite of Simon's original, but hearing Ezra properly cover Paul is just satisfying in the same way as hearing The Tallest Man on Earth officially cover Bob would be. Also, let me just add that I am really enjoying this post-90s resurgance of our favorite bands recording original music for films [...]

It's been a big week for big music, and it's finishing out to be a big week for front men turned solo. We heard Ben Gibbard take a swing with a cut for the new Arthur soundtrack, and now Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig is following suit. He won't be a part of the Arthur remake, but rather a new flick called Ceremony, starring Uma Thurman. And what shall be Mr. Koenig's subject? Well, Paul Simon of course. Ezra digs deep to uncover this forgotten Simon gem and serves it up perfectly.

It's appropriate that Ezra Koenig would want to choose to cover Paul Simon 's "Papa Hobo" for the soundtrack to the upcoming movie Ceremony , as all of the male characters in the movie look like carbon copies of Ezra himself. Nonetheless, it looks like a pretty good (but typical) grown-hipster movie. I want to go see it. Watch the movie trailer below, the film comes out tomorrow. Ezra Koenig - "Papa Hobo" by vinylandvodka
