listen to this, guys:
DARK WAS THE NIGHT LIVE VIA NPR. useful chamber sounds SO HOT.
i might just be jealous because a friend of mine went to this show and ran into dave sitek and 3/4 of vampire weekend in the bathroom. life goes on though and this recording is pretty awesome.

NOW THAT UR HERE I KNOW JUST WHAT 2 DO


SO INSANE --- DISCOVERY (download it at PMA)

YOU GUYS ALREADY KNOW MY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SONG



it's not even worth my time to tell you how i feel about vampire weekend's white sky (i think this is my tenth post about it? the first step is admitting you have a problem) because i am pretty sure some otherworldly force spoke through them and it probably ~came to them in a dream~ because it is too good to have been written by human hands. anyway, i have also already expressed how i don't like the slow version they played on jimmy fallon (luckily the recorded version is the fast one), but it's better to listen to that than an awkward bootleg from glasgow just for the sound quality, so...

WHITE SKY (SLOW VERSION) --- VAMPIRE WEEKEND.
i feel like this should be the soundtrack to some tender momentz with a loved one. whereas THE FAST VERSION you can just dance to like crazy. try putting this on next time you're COURTIN SOMEONE SPECIAL and then see what happens.

if vampire weekend put this song out this year, it will be the song of the year. just sayin'.

O BB U GOT ME GOIN SO INSANE

A. O. T. Y.



LISTEN
you've heard osaka loop line and orange shirt but you haven't heard so insane and swing tree, which are both awesome (i'm partial to swing tree because it sounds like vampire weekend - guitar + more synth + wes miles * vocal harmony)

wait! but i just listened to so insane about 10 times and i have to say that part with the "now that you're now that you're now now now now" is top ten best things i have ever heard material. it is truly the greatest feeling in the world when two people in the two bands that make you happiest in the world decide they're going to put their separate powers to make you happy into one devastating ball of r+b goodness.

speaking of that band i've seen six times...

HOUSSE DE RACKET

by recommendation of my friend theo, some hot french electronic pop:
