Vampire Weekend - Boston (Morning Becomes Eclectic)

[katieswv]

The name of the channel looks like someone with a Boston accent was trying to say "fubar" :)

[diannika]

I love Baio's face at 0:44 ... He looks damn cute ... :)

[tmtulmm]

the rare moments chris baio shows he can be animated are funny !!!

(Y)

[Bermbank]

The guitar reminds me of ska

[Agaycat]

@Bermbank Because he goes up while strumming, and he sometimes makes the cords short

[PsycoSibling22]

this song is so fun to play!

[lost92]

They are so geeky... I like them.

[daxio01]

se oye extraordinario!!!!!!!!!! y Ezra se ve hermoso!!!!!!

[jrosemanonline]

this, along with a-punk and cousins, are closer to 60s surf rock than anything, inspired by or inspiring ska-punk (3rd wave) as it went

[iLoveJerryHsu]

drummer Needs to pull it together.

[MrCaberto]

awesome riff! this song rocks

[10enstar]

I just came back from seeing them in Cambridge. They rock!! :D

[clashrkr]

man can somebody be a doll and put the rest of the songs up from this first morning becomes eclectic v.w. performance. its really good but i hate going to the kcrw website (aka lazy) k thx

[clarhilary]

Amazing!! I play this on my epiphone casino. The lyrics are stellar and the playing's spectacular! Great great band!

[theone456]

wish this was on Contra

[johncbat]

not really ska. but its a great song

[oliverzx]

esta rechingona esta cancion!

^^

[right1234wrong]

the intro reminds me of impression that i get by mighty mighty bosstones

[rpenney76]

@right1234wrong ..I can hear a resemblance myself!w/ a twist of 311...I like this group,alot!!

[paulyne64]

Great I love this song!

[Konner]

This song reminds me of Ska a little bit, I love Vampire Weekend

[theforsakenpiggies]

aha yeah. the basis of ska is barre chords which ezra uses. Love this song so much :D

[stumpycandle]

@theforsakenpiggies uhh...barre chords does not equal ska

[theforsakenpiggies]

It's pretty darn close to it, though. It's what most 3rd wave ska guitar is based on.

But it doesn't really need to be defined.

Good music is good music.

[LupeJustinian]

I misheard the lyrics. sorry. still great songwriting.

[justagreatcrush]

Awesome.

[RyanBuddyKills]

what's the deal with this song, I've had it for awhile but don't know when it was released or what it was released on

[Sentraman4]

the mansard roof single

[RyanBuddyKills]

Thank you kindly, good sir.

[RyoSanadaOfWildfire]

its also on the japanese cd with "arrows"

which is bullshit cause that things 30 bucks on ebay

[jstohler]

The song is "Ladies of Cambridge."

[theforsakenpiggies]

i'm trying to learn this on guitar using the bar chords that ezra uses.

its hard >:(

[RachaelTheRaver]

omg im going 2 boston! XD

[yush69]

why they left this one out of the tracklist in the end is so beyond me...

[apotheosize]

i concur so much

[jstohler]

Also agreed. They could have left off "One" and kept this.

[theforsakenpiggies]

Absolutley

[andreandeahhh]

no no no!!!! One is my favorite ... well in addition to this beautiful song

[noogies]

hecks yes.

[theforsakenpiggies]

Absolutley.

[phantms]

one is a work of art

[morganisag]

boston is not cambridge!!

;]

[tedslittlefriend]

that riff sounds an awful lot like Something Against You by the Pixies....

[dave13111]

It's only a similar rhythm

[Sk8rkid3]

yeah it does, it also sounds like a mighty mighty bosstones riff . . . but its a really good song!

[Sk8rkid3]

can any1 tell me the chords he was playing, i mean the actuall thing not the f, a minor, b thing

[theforsakenpiggies]

he was doing bar chords.

learn them and you'll figure outr the song like i did =)

[04woodwardt]

love that riff

[Xelso69]

i sooooo want that bass

[AnnaThatShibby]

This wasn't on the American album. I believe it was on the Japanese and maybe European ... I don't know.

But I downloaded this track off of iTunes from the Mansard Roof-Single thing. It's quite a lovely song.

[ASamGreenExperience]

I got the album in america but i live in ireland and my friends who have the album dont have these songs so i think its only on the japanese release, another song called arrows was on it too.

[Sk8rkid3]

it was on the lp you can get it on therewebcite

[Zakulele]

Japanese

[BigMikeOsley]

They played this at Bonnaroo and if that wasn't one of the best live shows I have ever seen I just don't know what is. They were absolutely phenomenal. Their new songs among the others are played just as good if not better live. Bravo boys, your music is refreshing!!!

[memcflarry]

what type of guitare is he playing?

[Britt10711]

casino i believe

[thomguerra]

its a sheraton

[pumtin]

electric

[Sturrock7]

It's not a Casino as someone said.

It's an Epiphone Sheraton.

[TheCurious101]

@Sturrock7 Yeah i was just about to mention something about that haha, I initially thought gibson because well, money isn't an issue for them, other than that yeah sheraton...

[jamieh005]

@memcflarry Gretsch

[samuelsackeroff]

Why is this not on the album?

[arcticGO]

in fact it´s on the album it´s called boston and it´s my fab

[Kudell46and2]

me too!

[sheepsocks]

Where can you download this song?!

I need it!

[anthecouturier]

you can find it on itunes on VW's EP, it's called Ladies of Cambridge.

[sheepsocks]

Got it!

Thanks!

xxx

[Wh0rse]

wait so is he basically singing that if she leaves him and Boston he's going to go crazy and possibly kill her?

[ieojama07]

this song is awesome!

[emerock]

toma toma i toma!!!

Greetings from BArcelona!

[MTalbot25]

haha nice once tydurden99! I love this song, and this is my hands down my favorite band

[georgedrenon]

[tydurden99]

Boston is the original name of the song. He's not a dumb fuck, he's just been a fan longer than you.

[SoundProject0819]

[monkeytoster]
