[bushidobrown]

Are they even British?

Their first song is about architecture and it's still annoying.

[claudelemonde]

NO THEY ARE FROM NEW YORK (you are shocked)

[frankieteardrop]

i wish there were better (appropriate) bands for us to play with around here. there are maybe four.

[claudelemonde]

there aren't really any ANYWHERE, you know? certainly not here. not AUSTIN. maybe SF, they are still kind of consciously gothy.

did you hear the tronik youth remix of 'she's lost control'?

It's like you date "rock" all throughout its awkward years and then one day it suddenly seems younger than you and hot and won't return your calls.

[claudelemonde]

i love a lot of teenage musicians but not these little shits. AND THEY ARE NOT HOT.

I think it's worse than that

I keep trying to listen to the hip radio stations that now exist--roughly the kind of radio I thought I wanted in high school. Something has changed. The booty rap stations are way better.

It's become the opposite of rock. They are terrified of the world. Even when they strike a nasty pose, you feel like they are scared shitless. They've been weaned on copies of copies of copies.

[asphalteden]

Perhaps the terrifying realization is that none of them had much to say in the first place, not ever.

What's a Vampire Weekend?

[claudelemonde]

horrid overhyped band

[chocolatebark]

Let's hope they can be stopped before they kill again.

Is that Andre Braugher? If so, thank you internet person. You have fantabulous taste.
