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.
OK, so who do they sound like? Might have to check it out.
I have a pile of new stuff to listen to!
White Lies
Animal Collective
Franz Ferdinand
i can’t think any western rock bands to compare them to. they do a mix of various African styles and nerdy college alternative. it’s very catchy.
the closest thing i can think of in western music is the ska/reggae influence on the Police’s first two records – you can’t miss the influences, but they’re still a British punk band.
Are there subliminal messages in it compelling me to like it, even though I shouldn’t ?
Yes.
The subliminal message is “Let’s have fun now!”, and it’s encoded as tiny colorful fishes.
Weeeeeeeee!
i think you’re right.
it does demand that you smile and tap your foot a bit.
Wow – that A-Punk song is great!
careful, them Vampires is tricky. they’ve got a whole bunch of other catchy songs with which to ensnare you.
I’m confused: what’s the name of the band, song, and album again?
Vampire Weekend, A-Punk, Vampire Weekend
ah, that makes sense now, thanks, you Rick Warren-loving homophobe. ;-)
Warren… gah. i can’t help myself; the crazy just sucks me in. but not anymore. a little judiciously-applied pie will save the day.
Pie for Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage, should be tasty.
i hope she likes it
You’re right – it IS infectious! Top tip cleek and I owe you one now.
Short though. My commute is about 30 mins and as I pulled into the car park, the last track started playing.
