Really feeling a lot of vibes from the Vampire Weekend album release. It seems like this one is ‘really catching on’ with 3 of the most important entry-level indie music fans:
Honestly feel like we need to take a deep breath, and watch this band ‘evolve’ into the next Kings of Leon/Strokes/U2/Coldplays/etc. Sort of like how ppl watch films abt nature and think it is ‘beautiful.’ We just need 2 stand back, and watch ‘the evolution’ of a band, not worrying abt the death of __________ (negative vibe), but instead choosing 2 celebrate the life of _______(positive vibe). Maybe this is the spirit of 2k10. Gonna be watching so many former indie bands take ‘the leap.’ They are more than just ‘a nice lil blog mp3′ now. These bands are beginning 2 ‘mean something’ 2 ppl who u don’t rlly respect.
Feel like Vampy Weekend’s album sales will ’shit on’ all of the most relevant bands of 2k9. We must ride this consumerwave. We must trust in the numbers. The greatest good music for the greatest amount of ppl. 2k10 might be all about ‘utilitarianism.’
Wonder which Vampy Weekend fan is the most authentic?
Bro #1: Bro booty dancing 2 ‘Horchata’
Bro #2: Mainstream bro doing stop motion projjie
Bro #3: Ultimate AltBro with strobe light
Really feeling the Vampy Weekend catch on with a lot of ppl who aren’t even ‘in the alt bloggy scene.’ #Vampyfever is so strong right now, stronger than #Anco_fever and #Grizzbear fever from last year. Really feel like Vampy Weeks
What is ur pitchfork review of ‘the new Vampy Weekend album’? Seems like a ‘controversial’ topic, sorta like racism + class issues in america.
Can some1 catch me up on the history/vibe of vampy weekend? Just started listening to this widget 10 minutes ago, and trying to evaluate it without my 2k9hypebacklashgoggles perspective. Maybe ‘contra’ is not just an album name, but a new zeitgeist for consuming art.
4 bros // 1 band
Do u have ‘the fever’ or are u waiting 2 catch a different strain of ________ fever later in 2k10?
What’s the difference between an altbuzzband and a mnstrmbzzbnd? Which 1 would u rather be in?
R u on #TeamVampy or on #TeamLeno or on #TeamConan?
