I'm sitting here at one of my favourite pubs soaking up the atomosphere on a beautiful sunny day and their "music" shit music I might add comes on and completely ruins my whole day! I agree with entirely wise and good sir and anyone else who likes them sucks! Oh and yes I have heard their debut, I even bought it for 10 bucks. Give me a good blues album any day like Little Walter, Skip James or Howlin' Wolf.

I even thought the Graceland album by Paul Simon was very good and didn't like it not because I'm "trying to be multicultural" as one commenter said but just because I thought the songs were good. I actually wished it had been more of a rock album but I digress. Anyway, people, the author is just plain right: Vampire Weekend's songs are awful. There's just nothing there. The melodies are forgettable, the beats are leaden, the chords are unimaginative and certainly not compelling or satisfying in any way. They're horrible. What do I like? Well as one jazz band leader said, there are only two kinds of music: Good ....and bad. Vampire Weekend is bad. And mediocre. What would I rather hear? Anything better than this. "Remain in Light" by Talking Heads. "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC. "The Sidewinder" by Lee Morgan. "Electric Ladyland" by Hendrix. "Barry White's Greatest Hits." "Penthouse" by Luna. "ChangesOneBowie" by David Bowie (his first hits collection). "Thank You" by Stone Temple Pilots. "Comes a Time" by Neil Young. "Songs from the Big Chair" by Tears for Fears. "Revolver" by the Beatles. "The Royal Scam" by Steely Dan. "Uncle Jam Wants You" by Funkadelic. "Maiden Voyage" by Herbie Hancock. "The Best of Dionne Warwick", "Foolish" by Superchunk, "Innervisions" by Stevie Wonder. The list goes on and on. But Vampire Weekend? It's crap, just totally insipid, second-rate self-important crap. It's not because they're Ivy League, or bring in world influences, or any other reason except this: It's BAD MUSIC.blahblahblahblahblahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739800888161133426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-46546177346956842812016-01-06T18:26:28.349-08:002016-01-06T18:26:28.349-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.blahblahblahblahblahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739800888161133426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-76078252338363781222015-11-14T23:16:58.662-08:002015-11-14T23:16:58.662-08:00Wow, great review.

Never mind that the entire image of "rock n roll" you hold so dear was cooked up by label suits to sell the idea of "rebellion" to disenfranchised youth who were willing to pay. Excuse the new generation for throwing off outdated ideas of what music "should" be and doing their own thing. Sound familiar? LOL, seeya later gramps.

Vampire Weekend has some of the...This is hilarious. Vampire Weekend has some of the most intelligently written and composed music in the industry today. They aren't like everything else on the radio that has to have a four-to-the-floor beat in order to keep an average listener's attention. You probably heard a handful of songs and just flat out decided that you don't like them. Which is fine, everyone has his or her own opinion, but just because you think that they "suck balls" doesn't mean that they do in reality. You sound like some 15-year-old kid who is convinced that music would be better if Hendrix were still alive and if everything got back to the roots of blues and good ol' rock 'n roll, man! No. It wouldn't be. That horse has been beaten and dragged around the circumference of the earth a million times. VW is just one band, and they've opened doors for new music to come about, which is the whole point of music, to progress as people progress. And I don't know what your problem is with people from New York or with your generalized idea of bands from New York, but you've obviously never heard of The Strokes, and they're the best band to come about since 2000. No one cares about the opinion of some guy who appears to have the mindset of a young teenager. So to you they might "suck balls", a very mature and well-supported claim might I add, but they've been more successful in the past 7 years than you probably will be in your next 50 years. Have a great day.Sthrmsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859904689249314066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-7184939823695319962014-03-23T13:39:09.848-07:002014-03-23T13:39:09.848-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sthrmsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859904689249314066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-33503865757007010642013-12-15T12:11:33.087-08:002013-12-15T12:11:33.087-08:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mIk69mH1Q

In their mind, liking "Call Me Al" was proof they were into other cultures and stuff.<br />Included in that group of preppy pretentious A-holes were Vampire Weekend's parents. VW's entire schtick is inspired not by African rhythms, but by a Paul Simon album that was insipired by African rhythms, which I'm sure the trust fund kids of today are eating up and patting themselves on the back for liking, being so open minded to world beat music and all.dagnabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791047967501516220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-42819236504813691822013-06-01T15:06:18.160-07:002013-06-01T15:06:18.160-07:00I'll listen to you when you have substantial e...I'll listen to you when you have substantial evidence for anything you say.<br />Until then, you're just a guy who likes to make fun of other people.fc loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314140068830027167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-42933134677575387762013-05-12T01:59:44.263-07:002013-05-12T01:59:44.263-07:00u obviously cant play blues to save ur life. iv he...u obviously cant play blues to save ur life. iv heard one dimensional players like u. theres so much u can do with the pentatonic scale. your question is stupid from the roots. do u get tired of the minor scale? its how u use the scale that matters indie boyjuniwilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129006262854222846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290900913414076199.post-31314778279520772222013-04-29T12:18:47.226-07:002013-04-29T12:18:47.226-07:00Theirs a severe disconnect between rock audience n...Theirs a severe disconnect between rock audience n rock radio n labels.
