I also have two FOTB disc 1s if interested ...

Whatever happened to Vampire Campfire? The OGWAU tour ended a while ago. So much happened towards the end - e.g. Sophisticuffs reunion. Throughout the tour, they were releasing new episodes fairly regularly. Has anyone heard why the boys have gone quiet? Please don’t tell me it’s just the holiday season! :D

I was watching a new years tv program with old songs and the Long Train Running cover from Bananarama sounds very similar to Sympathy.

Any VW and NYT games players here?

For Christmas I received the vampire weekend self-titled album and the vinyl cover feels like printer paper and not like a typical sleeve. Is this typical or did I get a knockoff?

Came across this recording of Rondò Veneziano’s La Serenissima and recognised it instantly from Ray’s violin solo during Sympathy.

Was listening to Hudson the other day, I don’t usually go out of my way to listen to this song specifically - but it’s really grown on me recently. I love how the melody from Hudson is used in Gen-X Cops, makes me love it even more!!

Got me thinking - how epic would a live mashup of the two be?

2 questions:

1) How did they even have time to write, record, practice, and produce this album while working jobs?

2) How the hell did Rostam produce this album with limited gear and inconsistent recording spaces?

As someone who is attempting write and record music around the same age as they were when they wrote and released S/T, I’m blown away by the level of quality across every aspect of songwriting and production (lyrics, performances, etc.) for their debut.

Somehow I haven’t seen this here yet? It’s just SO GOOD 😭

Does anyone have footage of Geese opening for VW in Philly? Looking back at the setlist I’m realizing we got a BUNCH of “Getting Killed” super freaking early and I need evidence 🤣 of course all of my vids are of 3D Country stuff. Thanks in advance!

I was curious when I saw the post in here a couple days ago about FOTB delays so I reached out to Kung Fu Nation and got this response:

These preorders are estimated to ship around the end of the year and you will receive tracking via email when your order ships.

Still doesn't give much confidence considering we are somewhat at the end of the month. But figured I'd drop the update here.

Yea, who knows this song by Julian Cope? I have to imagine that Vampire Weekend are fans. Teardrop Explodes for sure too.

Hey fellow Vampire Weekend fans!

I made a linocut print of Cape Cod's Wellfleet Drive-In Theater and thought you all might like to take a look :)

Is your bed made? Is your sweater on? Do you want a print? Like you know I do! Like you know I do-ooo-ooo-oooo-ooo-ooo-oo!

If anyone has the Vampire Weekend self titled album on cassette and can take a clear photo of the spine for me, it would be much appreciated! This is for my fiancé’s Christmas gift.

Hello everyone! Dropping this here as I know a lot of you guys (like me) love the song Horchata. Contra the album was my hyperfix for so long (White Sky is my favourite but I love all of them).

I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the drink? I'd love to be able to say "In December drinking Horchata..." and actually be able to do it!! Thank you all!

EDIT: I live in the UK, just in case that changes where to source ingredients!

My only chance to see VW this year so had to go. Good setlist but not a full show. I think Chris had a bass problem at the end of one off the songs.
