Vampire Weekend

dunno why but from what I'd read about this lot, I expected I'd hate them (Afrobeat?) but the album is fucking brilliant. I'm sure they've been discussed to death already but I'd recommend them to, well, anyone who likes that whole US indie thing like The Shins and stuff.

My only complaint is that I thought, in Oxford Comma, he was singing "Why would you lie about how much coke you had" which I thought was a cool lyric, but it's actually "...coal you had". Which isn't as good. Makes me imagine some miners in a pub in 19th Century Wales showing off to each other.
