Vampire Weekend - M79

[sofe55]

this idiot thinks he's going to drown..

[BigTuna1994]

Why do I think these guys' parents are disgustingly rich?

[NESherv]

@BigTuna1994 They do give off that kind of vibe, don't they? I think it's the whole clean ivy-league college sound they have. That sort of young preppy look they wear. That Tommy Hilfiger commercial that "Holiday" was featured in. The title of their song "Oxford Comma." The fact that their songs are very joyous and carefree-sounding, as if to imply that they haven't struggled in any way (or that their struggles end at the boundaries of the campus' main quad). But it's probably all coincidence.

[kelst007]

My (national) anthem.

Kcrw, thnx

[ginasalinas1]

I love Ezra's guitar! Anyone know what kind it is?!

[megand010]

@ginasalinas1 Epiphone sheraton! Best guitar ever!

[CazeeOfficial]

4 people had to wait in a factory line

[spiderpunk100]

love how Ezra is always doing a bit of a dance all the way through the song! i would be too!!!

[MrHaircut1]

That's not easy to do on the guitar while singing. Props.

[eater209]

Love this song

[jonnilightnin]

I dig all of their songs, but if you really want go get that ah huh moment as to their sound. listen to it while on medical you know what. mind blowing. not to say their music isnt awesome enough.

[milenainthesky]

Whenever I hear this song, I feel like strolling through the cobble-stoned streets of England sporting a nice pair of red trousers.

[iarreolav]

love the viola part :)

[Musicfan5ft8]

... How many fucking XX shirts does Rostam have?

[huggu55]

@melissaBEP He's looking pretty "marty mcfly" if you ask me!

[SuperDusso]

this is the first song that i found Vampire Weekend with <3 :)

[knaepsimon]

Is that a The XX T-shirt? NICE!

[puttyfoot]

love, love this!  happiness :D

[nicodementia]

Great, now I have to look though the comments to see the pointless fight.

[Hiiroke]

I'm curious about where or when in this video it says, Start having an argument and call people names. Or even better yet is that how this song makes you feel? Not me I feel like a new born baby that just got smacked :3

[bulletmanx]

this band is awesome

[Gunnerss09]

I want this played at my wedding.

[bulletmanx]

@Gunnerss09 me tooooo

[bulletmanx]

me too

[mylifeasmarisa]

OH WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, i love that part.

[CourtMartialled]

kcrw has the best live sessions and playlist of any radio station ive ever heard in southern california. ever.

[RAF71chingachgook]

like this version - he's using the gretch :)

[woosambomba]

EXCELENTE!! que descolado el baterista!

[StinnesPriester]

@bostonbruin

Chill, Police is a good band and Sting a great artist, and it really sounds a little bit like them.

[2charliefreak]

@StinnesPriester  waaaaaath?

[usedfuzzbox]

Sooooo good "live", and well done to KCRW for all these vids, top marks chaps!

[SlyMolo]

The things I would do to be able to sing a play the guitar simultaneously like Ezra. So much talent. Great band.

[gladiators2037]

@SlyMolo Not dissing Vampire Weekend, they're one of my favorites, but his songs aren't too bad to sing and play. Look at some of the stuff that Claudio Sanchez of Coheed & Cambria plays while he sings. That man has so much talent. He's a real musician, one of the best around.

On a side note: I love this song/group--a lot.

[hiphopsucks96]

love the instrumentation and arrangements on this album. refreshing to hear strings in a rock song without it being of bad taste. this song is def a great example of this.

[coryddavis]

These guys clearly love Paul Simon. Who doesn't?

[icujudith6]

Ha! I'm digging the whole"Marty McFly" outfit Ezra has going on.

[BOX3253]

its amazing...

[jedikkelelijkezus]

i wish i was born in NY, then i wasn't a Dutch girl

i wish i was 27 like ezra, but i'm 13!

i wish that i join a concert

of vampire weekend (l)

[TheWezel1995]

He! Je had naar Rockin' Park in nijnmegen moeten gaan!

Vampire weekend was geweldig.

[jedikkelelijkezus]

@TheWezel1995 :O wauwwz, gdvrdm heb ik dat serieus gemist !?! ( wanneer?) ook fan? (;

[TheWezel1995]

Dat was vorig jaar Rockin' Park 27 Juni. Kwamen band zoals Pearl Jam, Rise Against, Black Keys en natuurlijk Vampire Weekend. Het was super warm en was fucking gezellig.

(Ook 'n fan ja ;)

[FernandoFawkes]

i wonder where's the drummer

[danceyfriend]

@FernandoFawkes In a separate room; it's so they don't drown out the rest of the group. Most percussionists I know on set know no bounds with volume. :D

[EminusJoshicus]

Ezra, is the sexiest man on the planet(not including Andrew Vanwyngarden)

Vampire Weekend and MGMT should work on some shit together.

[ThePopsicleAddict]

@EminusJoshicus My list is fairly similar! Plus Julian Casablancas from The Strokes :)

[EminusJoshicus]

@ThePopsicleAddict Or Jim morrison's corpse?;D

[ThePopsicleAddict]

@EminusJoshicus Haha oh my, yes. Love me some dead corpses. And Jim Morrison for that matter.

[EminusJoshicus]

@ThePopsicleAddict Good, Good!

Hahaha.

[sbalos1]

[sbalos1]

[pacecanshuffle]

[colinmiles123]

[badnate012]

[bloodmuffin1]

Sooo the guy I like plays cello and I play violin...and well...maybe one day we can jam.

[MelissaBEP]

Ezra looks gorgeous whatever he's wearing. I like his outfit :)

[AmberAndTriangles]

i am almost crying right now cause im just so in love with ezra koenig, far out!

[daveidftw]

@ispeakparseltounge such a stereotypical comment from somebody that supports bands as an image rather than for their musical ability. keep it up... :\

[TheDylan626]

It sounds like the police.. except totally different

[Kittyghirl]

Best Song EVER!! can listen to it over and over again!

[rypetkypar]

it sounds like the police in the way that it sounds like the police

[chris9380]

VAMPIRE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are real artists! May God bless you forever!

[MostProfoundQueer]

[penta5pichichi]

[BABOUNETIOTE]

[XxBookWormChickxX]

[xyonist]

3 people disliked this song. Incredible.

[Rapecats]

how the fuck can 3 people dislike this! this is perfection!

[xSummerJoyx]

I HAVE to learn that string part- its so beautiful! guess i'm in for about a hundred more listens :D

[vatnsglas]

This is so beautiful with the violins and the other extra instruments! :)

[noway222]

This is my favorite Vampire Weekend song!

"No excuse to be so callous..."

[Snaechao]

This answers my question. Ezra does have another Sheraton guitar! :)

[tweakmaster101]

This song just makes me happy. :) I'm a skateboarder, and I just put this on repeat for like 3 hours and don't realize its played over 45 times while I've just been chillin. I love it. haha

[webespecial]

\/ampire \/\/eekend

[chiyo1117]

i haven't felt like purchasing an album in a while...until now

[Destruktive18]

[17Gusi17]

@Destruktive18 i fucked you last night

[Destruktive18]

@17Gusi17  What The Fuhck.!? Faggot.

[bloc22]

@Destruktive18 Hell yeah its easy and it's fun to play :D

[Destruktive18]

This Iz My Favorite Band Of All Time!

Vampire Weekend Is The Shit! :D

[TatyFogellFace]

I love how Ezra is trying not to dance(:

[tundrahog]

Columbia University M79 session has more soul. This is too flat....no soul. Sorry to see bands that don't see this.?. Just my .02... No like...

[rypeTmato12]

vampy <3

[Ministands]

V/W is so great they have their own orchrestra :D

[KaitlynSvenn]

my sophomore year in high school i would listen to this song and their entire self titled album over and over again while doing homework for ap classes. i wanted to get good grades and become "collegiate" like them, they were all brilliant enough to go to columbia university... now im graduated and heading off to columbia... columbia college chicago that its. close enough...! haha i LOVE vampy!!!

[RubyandHarp]

@KaitlynSvenn I'm doing my AP stats homework right now! they are great for both in the background and deep listening. <3 vampire weekend

[KaitlynSvenn]

@RubyandHarp Haha I took stats last year! Good luck with that! If anything is gonna get you through, it's definitely gonna be VW

[TheGabcat]

3.44 is like so intense, the whole part with the violin in the background....gives me shivers.

[rosielordx]

favourite vampire weekend song ever ever.

[ilu2wootwoot]

this is brilliant.

[ScorpiousMagnus]

My fave song from their last album...The other live version of this they did at Columbia University rocks as well. Much love 4 the 'V.W's'

[fkthsh]

This really sounds like.... Vampire Weekend. lol.

[LINCYxSCENE]

i like this song so much! I love the beginning <3

[ohdaje]

his voice sounds like the one of bob marley

[ExodusPessoa]

@ohdaje wow interesting comparison both have high voices when they sing.

[EzraK100]

this is the only song I completely hate from vampire weekend..the rest are awesome(:

[Sbucks555]

does anyone know if they compose the parts for the horns and the violins???

[squidgerz]

@Sbucks555 yep i think rostam batmanglij does the string arrangements!

[TheGabcat]

@Sbucks555 i always wondered that....

[brennal1979]

Not even close to police. If anything, it's more like the Talking Heads meets Peter Gabriel & Madness...even a bit of Magnetic Fields in there

[theamazingivysmith]

I will never NOT love this song. Amazing.

[Sibra3libra]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[BeforEvilsDemise]

@bostonbruin11 haha i was in a crappy mood trying to cheer up listening to these guys and your comment made me crack up thank you

[haujobbperfect]

I love this comment. So dumb that it is so awesome.

[jaybeaux7]

@bostonbruin11 I love Vampire weekend.. They have their own sound, but i can see how they sound like the police some.. But Im even a bigger police fan. They were an amazing band. Id think it would be a compliment .. I just cant believe 49 other morons "liked" you calling someone retarded and threatening to kill someone.. really mature guy... Plus, its "You're" retarded, not "your".. just saying.. you're a jack ass..

[brunofujii]

@bostonbruin11 Well, actually I don't see how this can be offensive — it's rather a compliment.

[Gertrrude69]

@bostonbruin11 kill me but it'll still sound like the police sometimes

[Larasfriend]

@bostonbruin11 you're*

[aldrrian]

@bostonbruin11

im pretty sure they were influenced by the police, which isn't a bad thing. if u can't recognize it, well thats ur problem sugar...

[ChasHolling]

@bostonbruin11 you say that like The Police aren't any good.

[evilvon]

@bostonbruin11 You're or You are. Not Your.

[ChacaritaSenior]

@bostonbruin11 Yeah man, calm down, it's not like compairing them to the Jonas Brothers or Bieber

[ransomwasmyname]

@bostonbruin11 *You're* not *your*

[jimmywilly36]

@bostonbruin11 oh yeah, i hear the police. completely.

[playpbateman]

@essenare Agreed with bostonbruin11. And you didn't even spell "bass" right. Try and make sure you don't sound like an idiot when you insult someone else.

[marnold6879]

it's called a bass

[mattyjc123]

the best live version of this song iv heard, an the first time iv heard it live with violins and trumpets. quality tune

[nickmez16]

@mattyjc123 dude your so retarded

[missmymelody48]

I am absolutely in LOVE with Vampire weekend!! i can't get enough of their music!! i listen to them EVERYDAY at work!!!

[martineteo]
