Vampire Weekend – Campus
For those in tune with the pulse of indie rock nation, the words Vampire Weekend should have a familiar ring to them. The New York City band met while at Columbia and got their big break from where else but the music blogosphere. According to Wikipedia, the band is influenced by both African popular music and Western classical music.Their bassist is the nephew of Scott Baio. VW have appeared on Letterman, SNL, MTV, BBC, and now MTWY. This song will resonate with you because it’s awesome.
Then I see you, you’re walking ‘cross the campus
Cruel professor studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again

Awesome choice…these guys couldn’t have made a more perfect debut.
On another topic, I have a kinda/sorta/not really music blog (my name
on this comment will link to it) and I recently linked here. It’s not REALLY a music blog but it kinda turned out that way because I can’t help but post about music a lot.
I’d be
thrilled if you guys could come check it out and be blog buddies. Thanks.
i feel the resonance……
the music is good but you had me at “nephew of Scott Baio.”
This song will probably resonate with anyone who is in college, or has ever been in college. Peppy! (not to be confused with pReppy)
Vampire Weekend is going to be big, I can already tell!
my ex got me into these guys
he’s just in love with them
thanks for sharing
