Like the title says...
This is for "Oxford Comma." They did the video in one shot to make it interesting. Give it a look and listen.
Nothing else to report,

Song of the Week- 2/23/08
This week we have "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend.
Adjectives that may be used to describe this song include, "whimsical," "carefree," and "silly." The first line of the song, "who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?" sets the carefree mood of the song quite well. Talking about meeting lamas and lying about the amount of coal one has- this song is as carefree as you can get. The most striking thing about the entire song is how simple it is. In the video, the drummer is playing on a single floor tom, the keyboardist is playing on a Casio. So simple, yet so catchy, so fun.
Enjoy.

Vampire Weekend
First watch this:
Now this:
Don't you feel better now? Such happy music. This band, Vampire Weekend, just released their debut album... and I can't stop listening to it.
If anything describes the phrase "breath of fresh air," it's them. They don't really sound like anything I've heard before. They have these catchy hooks all over the place, really whimsical lyrics, and they just sound tight together. They describe their sound as "western classical music meets African pop." Man, does that sound good!
