Vampire Weekend, that is.
I resisted. I avoided. I read the reviews and scoffed. I previewed and proclaimed it derivative and half-assed. But the buzz would not go away. Finally I bought it. And now I can't stop playing it. Are there subliminal messages in it compelling me to like it, even though I shouldn't ?
A-Punk
Am I over-thinking this?
Side note: hypnotic vampires are nothing to laugh about.
I like how all the guys step off for a smoke while someone else is soloing.
I predict a lifetime of disappointment for these kids.

Fascinating development as the United States Senate reaches a compromise with the second house of the legislature known as Citigroup:
Democratic lawmakers have reached a deal with Citigroup Inc. on a plan to let bankruptcy judges alter home loans in an effort to prevent foreclosures and urged other lenders to follow suit.
The lawmakers aim to attach the plan to President-elect Barack Obama’s economic stimulus legislation, and said Thursday the change in bankruptcy law could ease the foreclosure crisis that has dragged the economy into the worst recession in decades.
The compromise between Citigroup and Sens. Richard Durbin of Illinois, Charles Schumer and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, would be limited to loans made before the bill is signed. Obama has said he backs the concept.

Customer: “That’s ridiculous! I haven’t gotten the phone wet!”
Employee: “Have you used the phone in the rain? Sometimes, that’s all it takes to get the internals wet enough to damage the device.”
Customer: “Well, yes, but that doesn’t make any sense! Cows are in the rain all the time and they don’t die!”
Employee: “…”
Me: *interjecting* “Sir, cows aren’t electronic devices.”
Customer: *storms out*
