  • Not sure what to think of this re-enactment created with alcohol. Pretty racist, like actually racist and not just being ironic I think? Hmm…good thing I’m linking to it!

Ezra Koenig and Chris Baio Explain Contra Track By Track

Informative! Too bad Rostam wasn’t there, because he is the best. Not necessarily any more the best than the other members of Vampire Weekend, but still.

Perhaps you have already read this (if so, you the best as well!), but here is our view of Contra.

Buy Vampire Weekend's Contra A Day Early and For Only $3.99

Amazon is selling Contra a day early and for only $3.99. If you are not a thief and therefore do not steal your music, that is fairly good deal!

Remember, Rostam Batmanglij is the best, so we should support.

Update: You can also stream the B-side “Giant” here. The opening definitely sounds like a default ringtone. Glad it didn’t make it to the album in this version as this song used to be amazing when they played it live.

To Vampire Weekend's Contra, I Think Ur A Video Game Because You Sound Like One

So I’ve been listening to the highly anticipated, both by myself and the army of blogs and what not, sophomore effort by Vampire Weekend, Contra, and I am getting pretty upset! This album, for the most part, sounds like a soulless default ringtone! And default ringtones are lame! Every single song, except for “Cousins” which is actually great, seems to have a fairly good base, but is completely ruined on the production side. Songs such as “Diplomat’s Son” sound like they were made in FruityLoops or Garageband by the kid you thought was so musically inspired in middle school but then later realized anyone can make random bass and drum noises sound “meh.” Continue reading…
