Admissions: Vampire Weekend

vamp_w.jpg

Okay, I admit it, I like Vampire Weekend. I'm admitting this right before the backlash (or has it already begun?). I suppose that's okay for me since I wholeheartedly didn't like them for the following reasons: they wore really annoying, upper West side  OLD SKOOL PREPSTER clothing, they went to Columbia, they classified their music as "Upper West Side Soweto", their name is Vampire Weekend, everyone else liked them. Except, like maybe I kinda love them? And their lead singer (far right) is kinda (definitely!) cute (which is strange cause fakeprep or not, that's not my type AT ALL)?  And like, he also reminds me of this guy I went to high school with, but I'm definitely not gonna say who since people I went to high school with read this blog? And then they'll think I had a crush on [random guy I went to high school with], and yeah, that's kinda true? Even though, I'm SURE, if they think about it, they could figure it out, and maybe I will have to delete this entry? Seriously though, the lead singer (someone, anyone, tell me his name) has a really, really nice voice. It goes down smooth like milk chocolate Ovaltine, which I think the guys in Vampire Weekend drink un-ironically.

I love the CD, not sure I love them. I don't have a ticket to their show but look like I'll be able to check them out live at Pitchfork.

Same here. Their concert sold out way before I even gave them a chance. I look forward to seeing them at Pitchfork.

so i don't think i like vampire weekend (maybe i'm just being biased because they play their songs during mtv ads and OMG totally can't enjoy anything they play during mtv ads are you kidding??!) but i'm pretty sure i know who you're talking about... and i did too, yikes.

They're already on MTV? Wow!

And yeah, I'm sure it's fairly obvious. At least you know you weren't alone?
