Oh and ezra mentioned on Australian radio that they'd be back in oz the first half of 2010.

cousins is pretty good.. i didnt really get anything out of it first few listens but its already grown on me.. still seems too short to me though. it's on itunes if you're willing to pay.

vampire weekend is so good. I approve.

Brilliant, your approval was needed! :D

the boys were on Sunrise (TV equivalent of 2day fm or foxfm) this morning and naturally they performed Horchata which i thought sounded excellent. one of the hosts when interviewing Ezra afterwards noted how very different and unique they sound and that answered a question that ive been asking myself for a very long time, that is, why didnt vampire weekend's tracks top the charts around the world cos to me they are clean sweet melodic pop done to perfection. but i guess the mainstream music audience finds them to be fairly left field.

 

footage from tv performance coming soon.

HA! I just woke up, turned the tv on and they said, "vampire weekend playing live, after the break"... so I thought, this is awesome timing!! I never knew! Horchata sounded good, didn't use the cymbals which I like so much in the song.

 

Koshy and Mel are the worst hosts ever... he had really no idea what he was talking about. Ezra's voice sounded spot on, I was surprised they didn't play cousins, might have got them some itunes sales... bad move?

 

As for left field, yeah they still are. Lots of people I know have NEVER heard of them.

Brilliant, your approval was needed! :D

 

That's exactly what I thought! by the way I love your sig, probably coudn't have a better lineup of bands there.

i actually thought koshy was ok. at least he took the time to talk Ezra for a few moments and he isnt totally off with the Sting comparison but Neil Finn is the more obvious one. and yeah i came across out of pure luck, havent watched Sunrise in a good 4 or 5 years, the one of channel 9 is relatively more bearable.

I just think Cousins would have been a better choice. I do like Horchata better, though. I think Cousins is a poor choice for the first single. From what I have heard of white sky, it is amazing. I have heard the other new songs on youtube too.. they seem to have more of an african influence this LP.

 

Oh, and as for the Cousins single... anyone realise it sounds different to previous versions? It seems to me like they put too many layers on the song in the studio version and live it sounds a million times better. Also, the opening guitar effects and ezra's "ooh-ah-ey-ey" kind of ruin the intro... And it seems too fast. I dunno. Maybe they'll change the album version.

And here's the video of Vampire Weekend on Sunrise:

i'm sitting here trying to watch the video to Cousins and my computer is loading as slow as molasses :dead: it's killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really like them. Thank god the hype has died down a bit, though. They're a good band, but it just got a bit annoying. Can't wait for the new stuff to come out, already.
