Music doesn't get more preppy than an Ivy-League educated band, influenced by both classical music and African pop music, playing a song about the Cape Cod region.

And I love them for it.

Am I the only one who gets a massive sense of wanderlust when listening to this song? I mean, yeah, it's a pretty damn literal interpretation of the song, but hearing this makes me want to run away from everything and start my life anew. Something akin to what Cristopher Johnson McCandless did in Into The Wild.

Maybe it's just me.

This song is the first one by VW. The name Vampire Weekend comes from a movie that the singer, Ezra, was a part of. The plot was about a boy named Walcott who had to get out of Cape Cod to warn the mayor about a vampire attack before the whole town was taken over. The movie was called Vampire Weekend.

I live in New Jersey and go to Cape Cod every summer. We always stop in Mystic on the way :)
