Now, there’s a lot of fuss over Vampire Weekend at the moment. In fact, my esteemed editor is a big fan. Personally, I don’t get it at all (is it just me or is it all a little… balls-less?), but that shouldn’t stop me letting you enjoy the fruits of their labour.

I think I’ve banged on about this band quite enough, as have a lot of folk over the last few months. Now the album is out, and you may be wondering if it can possibly live up to the praise Vampire Weekend have had festooned upon their preppy asses.
In which case I’d recommend you go to MuchMusic.com, where you’ll be able to listen to it for the grand price of zero pounds. The price is the same in dollars as well, which is a rarity. Baht, too.
For what it’s worth, my favetoid tracks are new single “A-Punk”, the slow-building “Oxford Comma” and the closing “The Kids Don’ Stand A Chance”.
