vampire friday

sure halloween was two weeks ago, but hey, whatever. here's some Vampire Weekend for a weekend that may or may not contain vampires. actually, Twilight comes out in a next week, so i guess maybe i should wait til then, cause this doesn't really have anything to do with James Bond, unless maybe he goes to Cape Cod for the Quantum of Solace... i guess we'll find out tonight. and in the meantime...



i especially like the drum line accompaniment. which reminds me, just to give a quick peek of an update, we are withholding Modlin practice to continue focus on the still-unnamed (unless they named it without me) album #3. so to compensate for lack of real rock and roll, i bought Rock Band on tuesday night, and can now play pretty coherently on Hard Mode. also, i got a blister on my thumb. ooh, since my "Yes We Did" album title got vetoed, maybe The Modlins Blisters On Our Thumbs doesn't have such a bad ring to it...

vampire weekend

vampire weekend coming back to the casbah, 3/19!!! i know this band has been getting the indie blog love like some new swedish foreign exchange student, but damn they're good. i haven't heard a single song i didn't like. their daytrotter session is in heavy rotation on my computer at work, and i was bummed to be out of town when they hit the casbah up last time. glad to see that they are gracing the west coast again, though this time in support of their new LP that'll come out later this month. sweet goodness.

and good to see one last chance to catch them at the casbah before they blow up and the smallest venue we'll get to see them at is Soma (gag!) so definitely check them out. just "blackle" vampire weekend and you'll pretty much find a bajillion websites talkinga bout them being the next big thing. the video for A-Punk is pretty fun too.
