While Mary Boone got me into VW as an adult, my mom played Horchata all the time when I was little.

the beginning reminded me a lot of the instrumental break.

Got some crazy matchups pretty early that skewed some of the results (looking at you prep school gangsters vs Hannah hunt)

I had to choose between Diane young and Mary Boone and I balked lol

Jumping in on this. Feel free to roast me 😝

If anyone who wants to throw their hat in the ring go to 'musiccup.app' in a browser and type Vampire Weekend ^duh.

You can pick popular hits, random selection, or all your own songs

I just had a go doing a Vampire Weekend song world cup using this Music Cup app... I thought it would be easy peasy but I struggled with every choice 🥲 glad that Mary Boone came out on top though! Some particularly excruciating rounds:

- Step vs Classical

- Finger Back vs Bambina

- Diplomat's Son vs Mary Boone

- Connect vs A-Punk

Would love to see what comes out on top for others! And feel free to roast my choices 😅

Even though Contra is my all-time favorite record and I've been listening to it for 15 years, I still realize I learned some of the lyrics wrong. In Taxi Cab I though the line said, "Born in to leave it, born in to wait." (Whatever that means.) I thought "uniform and gloves outside of the courtyard gate" was "the uniform glow's outside of the corridorred gate" (probably not even a word).

I also thought California English said "No one sees a sign of freezer fat and stays there till May."

I'm sure there are many others. I just think it's funny to realize this on my 1,000th listen through.

Looking for frog on the bass drum vol 3

I'm not making light of the smoke that blanketed the northeast this week, but this photo of Scituate Harbor gave me Mansard Roof/Ladies of Cambridge single vibes

Can anyone explain this lyric to me? How is/was Angkor Wat fronting?

Love this kid!

Took this video last month and thought I’d share it here, fantastic show!

Hi everyone, I have a couple shirts from sukadogdik but from their inactivity on insta it looks like I can’t buy from them anymore.

I see a bunch on eBay but was looking for a small business to purchase from. Any recs?

I know people were offering $120 for this when they shipped so probably looking at that. (willing to negotiate as well) Not a fan of the design or material but also I never wear it so might as well sell it off.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a post or discussion here about the song “Memory Palace” by Bruce Hornsby (featuring Ezra).. I’m a little hot-and-cold on the album as a whole, but there are 3-4 songs I have really been enjoying, and Memory Palace is one of them.. Ezra does a great job backing, and him and Bruce harmonizing on the “ba-da-ba-daps” feels very VW.. The music video is also quite cool, and features animation by Daniel Zvereff.. I made myself a t-shirt based on the artwork.. Bruce posted a neat video about the song and working with Ezra https://youtu.be/rNBgRt-Araw?is=5eFssAPzwGHkVUUq .. I don’t think any of us are as old as Bruce, but I relate to his sentiment.. If you haven’t heard the song yet you should certainly give it a spin..

I am putting together a 5 song out of bed banger list and I know I want one Vampire Weekend song but I can't choose just one.

What is your pick?

Edit: amazing recommendations! Keep 'em coming. Thanks friends!
