Vampire Weekend on SNL

[rhorn27]

If you haven't seen or heard these young kids, give them a shot. Really infectious music. They're the next big thing which proabaly means they'll be gone in 6 months.

Dammit, why did you post the info on the free show? I wanted the crowds to be small.

[threesheets]

Who the **** dressed them?

 

[rage-a-holic]

Is this what the kids are listening to these days?

it doesn't pass for popular music. that's kinda that point.

 

[TheRoot21]

Is it wrong I had the urge to beat them up?

 

[Bob Wills]

At least the sweaters were nice.

 

[veggieboy]

at least Amy Adams was hot.

Man I love her...

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

They are pop, they are not popular music

I like them, my point is that they are not trying to be radio friendly popular music. They are "popular" amongst the indie crowd but they are not popular to the masses. As much as I like their sound they will never become mainstream.

 

[CaptainEd]

i'm certainly a fan. they sound very wes anderson / mark mothersbaugh-y.

 

[Djibouti, Djibouti]

they are "popular" with the indie crowd because pitchfork gave them a good review. haha, just kidding. or...maybe I wasn't.

"is this what kids are listening to nowdays?" I think I remember hearing my Dad say that about my first Twisted Sister record, circa 1983. if popular music didn't progress we'd all still be doing the ******* minuet.

 

[Mr.Wizard]

I am very much looking forward to a non-indy SXSW.

I go for the metal, jazz, rock, country, and singer songwriter showcases.

Less crowded and no ironic clothing.

 

[CaptainEd]

you complain a lot more than a normal person.

 

[Mr.Wizard]

Nobody on this board is normal Sally, sorry I do not like your band though.

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

If it makes you feel better then keep telling yourself that

 

[j.e.s.-U.S.]

What time do you think would be good to show up for the free show?

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

the entire lineup starting at 12:30 is solid.

Tough to say when to get there. The damn thing could be packed by noon or at 2. VW comes on at 4. I think I am going to try and be there by 2. The Parish is a decent sized venue for a day party so there's a chance that getting in won't be a problem at all. So in other words, I have no idea.

If it's packed I'm headed to Emo's to see The Stills, Tokyo Police Club, Shout Out Louds and Tapes N Tapes

 

[j.e.s.-U.S.]

Unpainted, is that emo's show free as well. I just heard Los Campesinos (they sound pretty freaking awesome) and they are playing at emo's on small stage tomorrow also.

I had my best SXSW experience of all time last night.

A truly grand evening.

 

[jimmyjazz]

I've only heard their song "A-Punk", but it's not bad. They sound like an American band trying to evoke The Police and The Specials. Beats the hell out of whatever emo flavor of the moment is trying to ruin my ears.
