Hype, it's a bitch for your band. At best, you'll get lots of attention, which hopefully will bring with it legions of music lovers who will buy your records and come to your shows and give you all sorts of love, making those years of slog worthwhile. At worst, it'll turn everyone against you, picking at you until you can take no more and you break up, disheartened and disconsolate. Most of the time, it goes for the worst. But even if things go well at the start, it'll probably all go horribly wrong for the [...]
Yes, we know it's poppy, accessible, and everyone loves it - even the New Yorker ! But that's kind of the point, isn't it? We kind of suspect that that there's not much of the Vampire Weekend fan contingent that's looking to them for difficult, terse rock and roll. Quite the opposite, actually. That being what it is, we were psyched to catch the band delivering "Cousins" on Letterman last week (see above), and getting ready to drop their latest Contra, tomorrow. The full record is already streaming at [...]
It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you. After a brief hiatus, your favorite recap of insomniatic late-night music performances is back. (Please hold your applause til the end.) With a pretty good batch of performances to choose from this week, it looks like 2010 is off to a good start. But enough pleasantries. Without further delay, let's start the show. Julian Casablancas - The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS) January 6, 2010 Ever heard of the term different strokes [...]

This song would probably be really fun to play on Rock Band, if you can get a bunch of expert players together. The drums alone would be more exhausting than P90X. Some lunkhead playing on medium would kill the mood, but that's what you get for associating with lunkheads. Someday, I hope all songs will be evaluated based on how fun their video game approximations might be to play. Contra comes out next week, if...

Their album is up for streaming on their MYSPACE .
A month shy of two years ago, Vampire Weekend made their network television debut on Letterman with "A-Punk." They returned last night bringing their punkest bit yet with "Cousins," a familial and frantic, ska-siphoned racer that always feels its a half-beat from derailing completely, and yet they stick the landing every time. That is probably because before last night, "every time" really just meant every time Contra cued up on the iTunes, but last night's "Cousins" was just some church bells from its recorded form, right down to Ezra's ability to convey all the charm he [...]

Shake away all lingering traces of doubt and save those "sophomore jinx" giggles for another band's disastrous second go' round. Why? Vampire Weekend's Contra , the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2008 self-titled debut that rocked many a bloggers' year-end round-up, has finally made it's Web premiere (it's currently streaming on the band's MySpace ) and...it's...awesome. On the surface, what the boys accomplish here isn't too deep: they've simply taken the charming themes of the first album (the world-pop-focused melodic merriment, the random preppie life gibberish) and polished and expanded on [...]
The quartet broke out their sharpest looking khakis for Dave last night. VW performed "Cousins" and after several listens to "Contra", it's safe to say that the group didn't fall into a "sophomore slump". Vampire Weekend-Horchata [mp3] A word from VW : Listen to Contra Greetings from Vampire Weekend. We are pleased to inform you that you can now listen to 'Contra' in full on our website: [...]
