[j53022763]

lol his keyboard. "AHA"

[100luisleyva]

6 people got tired of him talking

[MrFredthelemur]

His voice! It's the same as on the CD! amazing!

[MRPsukcs]

Holly body bass?

[TdrumsRHCP]

"side tom"

[xwakingthefallenx]

5:29 - the end Rostam beasts it up like a pro

[EduardvanBeinum]

I found this in the top 100.... Of SHIT MUSIC.

[fetmabebis]

@EduardvanBeinum Have fun with your braindead metal ;)

[thebaseballer171]

@fetmabebis Hey don't miss metal!:) Thats a great genre of music too. If you really listen to it, metal (certain bands) are just like bands like vampire weekend, brand new and other indies. They just have a different way of expressing the emotion. I love both tho. Ur right tho, EduardvanBeinum is bein lame. This songs so intricate and cool!

[thebaseballer171]

Sorry meant dis not miss haha

[smallpanzer]

That "AHA" keyboard is the shit dude im tellin ya

[cheesyDELISH48]

You don't pronounce the "H" in horchata...

[XxShpoopiesxX]

[vampyweeks]

lolol when the interviewer pronounced "koenig" wrong

[butterknucklez]

AHA so simple, but genius

[TheGreenteawithmilk]

what type of guitar is that? (ezras?)

[Horaciow14]

Why are they using headphones?

[TheGreenteawithmilk]

@Horaciow14 people always use headphones while recording or playing at a place like this radio show. all bands do it. i dont know why

[naturelribbelchips]

@TheGreenteawithmilk I think for the click track

[andrewbautista23]

"Here's come a feeling you thought you'd forgotten"

Well i forgot what good music is, until Vampire Weekend came!!!

[armsofdelmar]

@andrewbautista23 amen

[eeelz1]

[MnEM10]

[lgots]

[gonzprod1]

ive seriously watched this like 20 times in the last 5 days. its like sex... cant get enough of it

[gilafunk]

Very cool

[BrightEyes10003]

ezras voice is blowing my mind. im not kidding, whenever i hear him i end up strangely confused and relaxed...

[azureminded1]

@BrightEyes10003 more than relaxed i become happy & soothed & simultaneously energized it's my get out the door song lol

[hejloeeee]

i can't believe they not english

[LOOKoutITSspiderpig]

there are so many members of successful bands who would've been labelled as weird band geeks and picked on in high school before they became famous. imagine how shite the bullies would feel now.

[MelissaBEP]

OMG I actually own the exact same keyboard

[okhairy88]

aha means F**K in arabic

aha, this band is GOOD!

[anamargarites]

@Schmison: the funniest thing is that A-HA´s keyboardist used to cover the "yam" part of his Yamaha keyboards exactly like that! :O

[Schmison]

4:12 Sorry guy, but his acoustic guitar sounds crap! The rest is great, though...

Love the "AHA" :D

[thejeeean]

does anyone know what keyboard he's using?

[n2003cc]

shut up bitch, let them play!!

[whythehell99]

The radio host looks like Chuck from the show Chuck

[iHazCavities]

V-Neck sweater on the bassist I have it! =]

[huntspec]

2:09 get to the best bit ;D

[AlexDJames]

Love how the keyboard player taped out the yam in yamaha to turn it into 'AHA'

[spidermansupersexy1]

shut up!!! i wanna hear the song!

[SazzieChan]

I seriously had to pause it and take the first 10 seconds in. Wow. His voice is perfect, and so is the instrumentation. I've never heard a live version sound so much like the recording.

[iHazCavities]

@SazzieChan Never you say? Brandon Fowers is amazing singer live as well. I like guys like Ezra and Brandon because they tend to stay away from audio enhancements as much as possible, so people can hear their actual voice.

[SazzieChan]

@iHazCavities I meant the entire thing though, not just Ezra. XD The keys and the drum, and when the guitar and bass comes in. It's perfection.

I love Brandon Flowers' voice :D Such an awesome name too XDD

[Frogsig]

@SazzieChan  they are AMAZING! live. went to see them in concert <3

[SazzieChan]

@Frogsig :D I've watched live videos. Jealous! I'm gonna see them some day <3

[ImNotVainJustBetter]

longest. into. eveeeer. radio man just let them do the song!

[smurfy9409]

talented bass player.

[singmeasong121]

Ezra slightly reminds me of Anthony from Smosh. I might be the only one on this though...

[agalloway87]

Horchata is delicious, as is this song.

[ZomBeeZ88]

AHA

[lespaulnasty31]

I just heard horchata mentioned in king of the hill haha it's a decently common drink...espiecially in latin cultures

[VcookiemonsterV]

what type of yamaha keyboard is that?

[jkilso]

Omg I seriously listen to this song every single day. It just makes me smile, makes my day 3x's better :)

[GoldieCurvesBrowning]

the mans talking too much&for too long..lemmme listen to the sweeeeeeeeet music.

[rockysherwin]

i love them haha 

[netteloveszebras]

i freakin love this song (: it always makes me smiley

[STOPtheHORROR]

Ezra's singing voice doesn't sound ANYTHING like his talking voice, that's so weird.

[animajazim]

@STOPtheHORROR thats called a good singer :D

[1SMGFAN1]

they play soo goood with soo few instrumentsss!!!!!

I LOVE THIS BAND SO FUCKIN MUCH!!!!!!

I just got a blue bleedin madras shirt-jacket like Ezra's

OH im so exciteeed!!!

just sayin :)

[SKAisJOY]

I like how he couldn't have Yamaha on the synth so he taped it to say aha. Classic.

[emilysaraahhh]

I love how he manages to sound exactly the same as in the albumsss ! :)

[xmeggyxmoox]

Hahah I love how bored they look during the presenters 2 min intro! Vampire Weekend are amazing, wish I could see them live again!! :(

[Goldin69]

Tight band, rarely find a band that can sound better live than album versions. Lol to the "aha" on the yamaha keyboard

[Matraman]

awesome live

[scruffz]

Holy shit, he took over 2 minutes to introduce the band.

[MsTAITH]

they could make it there's a thing called a recipe.....

[ChicIndie15]

Ezra looks like a little 6 year old

[jonov123]

@ChicIndie15 So He Has A Baby Face?

[jonov123]

If Your Not Mexican You Have No Clue What Horchata Is

[onyema11]

@jonov123 I'm Nigerian and I know what Horchata is... :] so good

[jonov123]

@Lpaige94 But Can Your Parents MAke It NO

[kittykat806]

@jonov123 Damn....calm down its just a drink XD

[x8suzinoodles8x]

@jonov123 i'm Dutch and i know what horchata is, too.

[ColorMePink33]

@jonov123 Funny that no one in the band is Mexican....hmm

[sarahkharm]

@jonov123 I'm American and I know what Horchata is

[Di0genesus]

@jonov123

I drink it, but the

Mexican type is a fake

Without Tiger Nut

[xxStephyStellar]

This version is so much lovlier than the album version. I think it's because its a bit more laid back? I can't put my finger on it. D:

[kweezykins]

Even better than the recording!

[ekrar1]

Ezra seems like one of the coolest people ever!! he also taught 8th grade haha thats awesome

[ekrar1]

Ezra seems like one of the coolest people ever!!

[celeriones]

I LOVE Chris Tomson's face during the intro LOL

[lonxi7]

I love this version!

[satanspetdoll]

I FUDGIN L:OVE THEM

[inglewood826]

Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, and Florence +The Machine are the best indie groups in the entire Globe! :D --Maybe its because they actually are original and have talent. (:

[currentGypsy]

@inglewood826 dont forget modest mouse!!

[simplicity4eva]

great song i must say=)

[MeLrOb1994]

The keyboard players last name is Batmanglij... he has BATMAN in his last name...

[sarahkharm]

@MeLrOb1994 LOL "When I find a Persian in a good band I'm as happy as a peacock" That's so cute

[jay1lees]

i think he stole the keyboard from alan partridge

[WFBand]

I had no idea they went to Columbia. Super impressive.

[lolopeto]

CU FOR THE WIN

[luilu92]

was die alles aus den musikinstrument rausholen... so ein klang spektrum scheiße .... ich will auch

[unguardedsmiles]

mmmmmm horchata sounds good

[armry]

'AHA' keyboard?Haha man that's cool.

[nanea465]

wonder what the band is thinking as they are standing there listening to an intro about themselves? awkward...

[tonytiger78]

the host, is a douche, stfu and let vampire play

[MrTillyayre]

@tonytiger78 couldnt have put it better myself. respect.

[EskimoErica]

sounds better than the original, and @3.17 makes me laugh for some reason

[treekass]

horchata is gross

[PeaceSignUp26]

@treekass false! lol

[treekass]

@PeaceSignUp26 i love the song horchata but na would never drink it ahha :)

[PeaceSignUp26]

@treekass haha okay okay to each his own.

[treekass]

@PeaceSignUp26 hhaha :)

[bajsabajsabajs]

I LOVE IT!!<3

[2d122]

What kind of Nikes does Ezra wear? I'm really considering buying a pair like those.

[Carrots1919]

@2d122 Blazers, got to nike.com 

[Carrots1919]

@2d122 go to I mean.

[ninjafiona]

i looove this band

[Carrots1919]

Rostam, can I have that hat? K, thanks.

[fluffyztg]

dude they rock haha

[ilovememi]

i like this version better

[gloobert]

i love horchata! finally, 2 of my fave things combined: an awesome band and an awesome non-alcoholic drink. let the good times roll!

[punkposer]

wish I could have a recording like this for when I sleep. I love the album version but it's too upbeat for sleep.

Vamp Weekend FTW!!

[Aspartyl]

what's a mansata?

[AlexandKelsie]

This song makes me want to learn how to play bass

[EternalPerfektion]

@AlexandKelsie Haha, that's how I feel about "Cousins".

[11explosionsinthesky]

i like this video they present a good introduction to the band...great performance

[Tazza1796]

ezra has such a nice voice and he always in tune :D

[CalmBlue]

I wonder why Rostam's keyboard has the "YAM" blacked out... Maybe he just has something against yams.

[SilentEcho33]

@CalmBlue no because he likes the band "AHA"....aduhrr

[CalmBlue]

@SilentEcho33 I see. Well, that would explain the 80's influence. Would love to see them recreate the "Take On Me" video.

[SilentEcho33]

@CalmBlue YES!!!

[MiniLod23]

@CalmBlue no joke... crazy coincidence. i was just listening to that song thinking... i wish Vamp. would do a cover.. amazing vocals.

[zackboomer]

@SilentEcho33 lol what a tool

[SilentEcho33]

@zackboomer How am i a tool?

[22hka]

@CalmBlue When he has black outed the YAM it says AHA. I think it's a reference to the band A-ha

[PinkEskimo121]

@22hka They'd have to pay Yamaha.

[fukuwhale]

sound the same on recording as they live. so in my books they are the best band EVER.

[hmmmX3]

Why so much hate for the host? I think he's one of the best out of the ones I've seen posted on YouTube.

[duffo89]

wanna stab that presenter. what an annoying cunt

[Karzzle]

That must be one of the funniest censuring everxD 'aha' ;)

[xplodRegenerate]

Excellent intro. And song, duh!

[Chandlerkg11]

Loving this live

[viciousandchaotic]

ezra has nice eyes :P

[applefieldd]

CANT WAIT FOR A NEXT ALBUM

[killluisito]

What shoes is ezra wearing? Please Help!!

[Okwudizzle]

@killluisito Nike's?

[KeepinItRealMofo]

man that interviewer talks alot of shit,it should have been called "interview drown..featuring vampire weekend"

[bradbrook60]

@KeepinItRealMofo can you give me the name of a better host? Someone who is acts as complex questions and has as good of a musical knowledge as him?

[advenger32]

this is my favorite song by them

[nnamkram]

completely effortless.

[IamWearingJeans]

they aced it, this version sounds really good

[InvoluntaryTwitch]

Does anyone know what sound Rostam is playing at 2:11 ? Is it a preset on the keyboard or what? That sound has been haunting me for a while now.

[scottycanes]

@InvoluntaryTwitch I think he is using the "Strings" setting of the keyboard. It's epic.

[d7d6D7]

gotta love vampire weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

[awesome1452]

your hot muuuuu

[mswesson]

how does he mute his low tom like that? sounds so deep.

[rhymenaecologist]

@mswesson

tuned the top coat pretty loose, lots of tape, ball of tissue, voila.

[pithaya]

@mswesson has to be a mix of tuning, the tape and tissue on the head and the use of a soft drumstick.

[ph0kused]

@mswesson see the tissues he ducked taped down on the drum? there ya go.

[abteen05]

This song is amazing. Love these guys and Jian.

I just saw the keyboard - they've put black tape over part of the name leaving AHA on the back. Love it.

[SuperAxelrod]

their best live version of this song

[xKatWorldx]

Ezra has an immense voice

[ldhmum]

This is music to make love to.

[Hottie2cool]

They are just as good live as they are on the CD, it's amazing!!!

[whenthefloodcomes]

best song live

[Ableem05]

the bass line is pretty wonderful

[brigeeey]

haha i love how he does gestures even though no one can see him . . .

[SaNdRiTaRoCk]

I LOVE IT, IS A AMAZING BAND!
