The band have announced that their third album has been finished, also that it'll be out in May. You can check out their tweet here. It looks like it'll be out 6th May in the UK and 7th May in the USA. You can check out a new song from the thrid album here.
As Fall Out Boy's lead singer Patrick Stump ventures on his solo project, he released two versions of the song "Spotlight." Unsure of which version he liked better, he left it up to fans to vote an decide. Both versions are catchy and Stump's vocals are pretty much solid. After listening to both I myself could not decide for Mr. Stump , I leaned a little more towards "Spotlight (New Regrets)." [...]
Can't believe it's already been a decade. I'm trying to think about the person I used 2 be back in 1999. I wonder how familiar I am with that bro, or how much I respect him. Theoretically, I have grown up and become a more 'cultured' person with a developed+refined taste in all aspects of life, including my favourite music. Piecing together 'The Best Albums/Artists/Songs/Bands of the Decade' seems tricky, like some sort of existential reflection of urself. I feel like most websites that focus on music create 'best of year/decade' [...]
The Video for Videotapes by The Chapters is up for most original concept in IMTV Video Music awards . I have no problem with the video being nominated for an award , its the most original concept bit i have a problem with, take a look at the two videos below. as you can see both videos have striking similarities ,with the Vampire Weekend video being done by the extremly tanleted hammer and tongs Even the youtube thumbnails for the videos look [...]
Wooo... Quién no estaría feliz sí lo despertaran con un video como este? Yo si!
Compared to years past, I didn't listen to as much new music in 2008—having a baby will do that to you—but I still wanted to share my favorite albums and here they are, in alphabetical order. Oh, wait . Due to my newfound time constraints, I'm now using Delicious and Twitter , since they're conducive to quick posts. So you can follow my ramblings there too... Okay, so here's the list: Beck - Modern Guilt [...]
Des guitares, des mélodies, du rock, du songwriting, de vrais albums au sens le plus noble (voire ancien ?) du terme... Avec en plus le retour d'un poids lourd (Portishead) au coeur de l'année : en 2008, ce sont de bonnes vieilles recettes qui ont donné les ouvrages les plus stimulants. Comme d'hab, Rouquinho classe dix albums et cinq chansons. DIX ALBUMS 1. PORTISHEAD, Third Comme tous les poids lourds, les [...]

I'm a little late on this one too, like 10 months. I never profess to be the first to know about awesome indie music, I just pass along the good stuff when I hear it. Vampire Weekend released their first album in January of this year and it has been all over blogs and speakers [...]

I know several teachers (One of them is my mom. Hi mom!), and from them I've learned two things: teaching is tough work, and you get a heck of a lot of vacation time. Which second fact makes it a great career choice for aspiring musicians — teach all year, tour for the summer, get signed to a label and never look back. That's how it works, right? Well, that's how it worked for the following. • The most famous example of teacher-turned-rockstar is probably Sting, who spent two years as an English teacher, an experience [...]
Skemmtilegustu fréttirnar sem ég hef fengið í dag eru þær að New York bandið Vampire Weekend muni koma fram á Iceland Airwaves. Hr. Örlygur hefur reyndar ekki tilkynnt það að mér vitandi, en það kemur fram á gigg lista bandsins á Myspace, sem og á hinni "opinberu" heimasíðu sveitarinnar. Reyndar hef ég lítið nennt að spá í þessu bandi hingað til en slagarinn þeirra "A-Punk" hefur varla farið framhjá neinum. Ólíkt mörgu öðru sem er á playlista útvarpsstöðvanna þá er þetta mjög skemmtilegt lag sem verður ekki pirrandi eftir nokkra daga. Ezra Koenig heitir [...]
In just over a year, Vampire Weekend have gone from being a little-known New York secret to a worldwide phenomenom. The extent of their rapid rise to fame hits you in the face when you go to see them live and realise they barely have enough songs to fill a headline set. But it really is no suprise that their music is so widely loved. Their clean, African-infused pop is so simple, so catchy, its just too good to resist. Their debut album is an exhilarating display of music that doesn't disappoint for a moment. Sure, the effect has worn [...]
c'mon people, they're making america cool again. Say what you will about Vampire Weekend , but their debut album was nothing short of amazing, and in my opinion they sound great live. New video out for their single Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa . Let's take time reflect on their three official music vids so far... A-Punk interesting video direction. stop motion? maybe. i'm not a director. i dig the underwater chorus [...]
I had a rare opportunity before me. It doesn't happen often that a band gets really buzz worthy and yet by the time I get a hold of the album I know almost nothing about them. So rather than do what I usually do, which is, read about a band and do research as I'm listening to them, I decided to just play the album and take it entirely on its' own merits. The only thing I'd heard about them beforehand was the track "A-Punk", which is played incessantly on Indie 103.1, and that they are all the rage right [...]
I had a busy week a bit ago with a few trips to the Fox Theater, an outing to Red Rocks to see Death Cab, Modest Mouse and Rapid Eye Movement (although REM acted more like lethargic blinks of rigomortis settling in) and a surprise visit on the street with a former member of Sonia Dada (remember them?). I’ve been hard at work this week finishing up the initial soundtrack line-up for a movie I’m supervising and of course completing my regular routine at my work place. It seems that 2-3 times a day I hear the same [...]
I dig this song, and this music video is really fun! Check it out!
Rumor has it that Vampire Weekend will be playing the Pageant on September 10. (Break out those '80s sunglasses and cable-knit sweaters!) Also, it appears that Of Montreal will be returning to that same venue on October 24. No further details available yet on either show. Vampire Weekend, "A-Punk": Of Montreal, "Wraith Pinned to the Mist":
Lurking within today's New York Times ' op-ed section is David Brooks' attempt to get in early on calling the rise of the "geek" in society, no doubt because he's looking for another genre of well-off people to sucker into buying a book that shows "who they really are" in the grand sociological scheme of things. (Oh, for the days when people read and wrote in an effort to experience cultures that may have been at least one degree removed from their own.) Brooks' column about the "nerd ascendancy" name-drops Tina Fey and Jason Kottke, notes that [...]
