vampire%20weekend-st.jpgAs 2008 wakes up and stretches its weary arms, Vampire Weekend is the band playing on its clock radio. And despite the radio station's promise of a "No-Repeat Work Day!", they somehow manage to sneak in a song at the lunch hour, then one in the middle of the afternoon, and yet another during the drive-time commute. But hey, skeptics aside, I'll be damned if these New Yorkers' naive take on Westernized Afro-pop doesn't make 2008 quite happy to hear their indie-rock Graceland vibes over and over again. So go ahead Mr. DJ, play another track! It feels like summer already.
