Video: Vampire Weekend - "Cousins"
The debut video off Contra, due January 12 on XL. I like how fast and short it is. Good use of bells, too. What do you think?

I dig it. Are Vampire Weekend the 21st century 'They Might Be Giants'?
I often find myself liking videos more than the songs themselves, which is the case here. I do like the jittery guitar line and the bells, but generally when I listen to VW I feel like he's singing the same song over and over across different melodies. Same for this one.
I like it. I like it a lot. But why is it every time I listen to VW I feel like I've had waaayyy too much caffeine?
[yawn]
"I like how fast and short it is."
Mercifully, yes. I'll give it that much.
Shecky, please apologize to John and John.
Definitely a talented band. Good video. Catchy tune. Still don't like them.
