While listening to the Edward Sharpe station on Pandora this afternoon my attention was snagged by a catchy tune from a vocalist who sounded oddly familiar. To my chagrin I discovered that the music belonged to be none other than mainstream indy delight Vampire Weekend. I'm not sure what my staunch opposition to this band has been, maybe it's the trustafarian following and hipstered out image, but I couldn't help my curiosity and decided to check out their website.
A newer album entitled Contra was prominently displayed on the welcome page, followed by this video for the song Holiday. I guess I enjoyed the feel good tune, but what the hell is with the last scene? A bunch of clowns dressed as colonial freaks beating up surfers? I'd love to see how that panned out in real life.
