every time I watch vampire weekend live, I get worried that the singing will sound weird because of the bare instrumentation, but everything just sounds so good.
They might be spoilt rich white kids and their upbringing was a million miles from what mine was like, but when it comes to music these guys are truly fucking fantastic!
@cheer4giants He puts emphasis on things a little differently than a lot of people. He stresses the "White" more than the "Sky", where as most people would stress the last word...I think. I like it too;)
For some MAD reason he reminds me of Morrissey... I can't figure out what it is, it might be the look of introverted thought simultaniously with extraverted expression.
@holstfly I thought the exact same thing, i was already laughing and suddenly it hitted me: Are they actual fans of Miley?!! ... Hope they are not ...and if they are... a HUGE dissapointment .... :s
@dublinrupepupkin i think the reason why they are doing this song sort of laid back is because it is an acoustic version, so the song isn't as loud. Additionally, there isn't a crowd, except for the host, so they don't have a group of people that they can get energy from and work off of.
they are fans of miley cyrus ? :| ugghh seriously i thought they new what good music was,they can make it but they clearly mustnt listen to it if shes in their books -_-

You gotta be kidding, fookin' colonial-posho-apartheid- humping rubbish! Once again the real and original South African Indestructible Beat of Soweto artists go unheard by the ears of the world that would rather gobble down Q's trite Ivy League tailored payola boy bands.
@rodremely stop being so judgmental. People aren't going to want to listen to the music you preach so highly of if you load your speech with unprovoked insults.
@rodremely If you listen to their music their South African influence is very noticable, especially in their drums. Like "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa". Even the title is African.
