This video is the only ‘good’ thing I’ve ever seen/heard from these guys….and good is a stretch.

Make it two good things – the girl on the cover of their album is nice and 80’s hot.

Really liking this new album, definitely going to be picking it up. Shame all the UK tour dates are sold out. Another article about Contra here http://bit.ly/8BwFM3

That girl did remind me a bit of Alan Stanwyk’s wife. At first glance I also thought it might be the girl from Grey’s Anatomy that has cancer.

Typical Vampire Weekend. It’s OK. “Cousins” doesn’t really match up against any other songs on their debut. They’ve defiantly gotten a lot of pressure for this sophomore album. But hey, it’s hard to surpass their first. I’ll probably buy, but sophomore albums like this make me worried about MGMT’s new album…
