So I'm going to write a little bit about what I'm sure we have all read about and maybe have listened to, the newly released, self titled, Vampire Weekend album.
I had heard a few of their songs around, well, I don't fully remember when I received a mix (more on this subject later) with some of their songs, but I fell fast in love. I believe, had they released this album sometime in the summer, I would have received it a little better, but it does help me look forward to warm breezy days drinking juice and walking around in flip flops. Oh do I want summer to come! But seriously, it's funny/great to think that these Columbia Grads got so big pretty damn quick too.
But as for mixes, I think there needs to be a resurgence. I mean, with all the technology we've got kids should be making more mixes and sending them off to friends, that's what'll help everyone hear some better music. Plus, its fun (and completely terrifying) to think about a person and what their tastes might be and how you can accommodate. It's always thrilling to receive too and get a taste of some new stuff. Or, at least you'd get to hear some tunes in a combination you'd never have chosen.
Maybe I'll have inspired some and find some cds on my doorstep?
Until next time,

Making mixes is my absolute favorite pastime. The one I'm currently working on for a dear friend clocks in at 4.8 hours, or 73 songs.
As soon as we figure out this mp3 shit, i'm gonna incorporate themed mixes into all of my posts.
Re Vampire Weekend, critics are calling their sound "Prep Rock." That could be an interesting mix theme, although i'm still not exactly sure sure what prep rock is .... so maybe we can come up with some sort of Prep- Rock-Butt-Sex-Hybrid instead? I think that's our best bet.
CHEERS!

I think prep-rock calls for photographic examples, nahwhatimean?
Also, this is a fantastic post.
