Vampire Weekend

I'm supposed to be working right now, but sometimes I just get in the mood to browse new music, usually based on either a recommendation from a friend or a song that catches my ear on the radio. Heard a song the other day on 94.7 fm (the best radio station I've had the pleasure to tune in to, by far) that intrigued me. I looked up the previous playlists on 94.7's website and found that song was "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend, a band I'd only heard one other by ("A-Punk"). Here's the video to "Oxford Comma".



Vampire Weekend, as a band in general, is intriguing to me for several reasons. First, they look like every man. These guys aren't guy-liner wearing glamrock boys. They look like the boys next door, or someone you would work with at the office, constantly dressing their version of business casual - very casual. Their charmingly average looks lend an irony to their utterly unique sound. I can't even think of anyone to compare them to! You'll just have to listen for yourself, in my Playlist to the left.
