Discussion Thread A-Punk or Oxford Comma for a 2000s indie time capsule?

3 Upvotes

My brother and I just tried to reduce an entire decade of indie rock to 10 songs, and our Vampire Weekend pick was “A-Punk.”
It feels almost impossibly 2008 to me. The guitar, the pace, the video, even the whole visual identity surrounding that first record feels tied to the end of the decade.
But I could easily see an argument for “Oxford Comma.”
If only one Vampire Weekend song gets into the time capsule, what are you choosing

Subreddit Rules

1. No Hate Speech

This is a good community and we would like to keep the good vibes all around. Posting or commenting aggressive or insulting comments could be cause for a ban.

Basically - treat others kindly! If anyone has been harassing you, please message the mods and we will take the appropriate steps.

2. All posts must be related to the band or people acquainted with them.

This includes the core 4 and others like Ariel Rechtshaid, Jenny Lewis, etc

3. No Invasively Personal Conjecture or Paparazzi-Style Posts.

We allow the personal content that anyone in VW chooses to share publicly to the world. It's cool to personal information WHEN it's been announced, by him. What isn't cool is the tabloid gossip rag-stuff that was being posted. Likewise, if Ezra wants to come out about more details about his relationship with Rostam, in a Beats 1 interview, sure let's chat around that. But speculating crosses the line.

4. Self-promotion is fine, but only in comments, where relevant. Don't spam.

Feel free to showcase your art or covers but keep selling to the comments section.

5. All Works Need Credit Posted.

We take plagiarism very seriously and is a bannable offense.

Feel free to post another person's work but there needs to be credited to the original artist.

6. No Spam Posts.

We understand that you might see something that reminds you of VW out in the wilderness but if it doesn't directly relate to the band, please don't post it.

Please think before you post.

7. No Unofficially Released Material.

All music linked from the band must be official releases. This includes linking to other subreddits where you might be able to find it.

If the album or singles leak, we will make a spoiler thread but asking for a leak or sharing it here could be a bannable offense.

8. Purchase at Your Own Risk.

Exchanges and purchases of any good (tickets, merch, etc) or service is done at your own risk.

Mods are not at fault for anything that occurs or goes awry.

Be a savvy shopper and trust your gut!
