"I'll Dream In Melody"

Vampire weekends new album? Simply amazing. When bands can take new directions and recreate their old sound, I'm astonished. They found a way to experiment, but not completely ruin their music with it. (Well, maybe "Ya Hey" in my opinion). But yet, I am still in love with every song. from zachariasspain

Yeah, I agree, it is pretty impressive. They didn’t abandon their sound just explored it a little more.

Paramore - (One Of Those) Crazy Girls

“If you’re not here when I break in,
I’m gonna go to your closet,
Just so I can smell your skin
As the chemicals swim,
I know I’ll never love again,
I swear I’ll never love again”

they should seriously make a music video for this song. It would be awesome/hilarious.


“I’m Not Excited, But Should I Be?”

I bought Vampire Weekend’s new album last week, somewhat impulsively. To be honest, I’ve always been a very casual fan. The first album was ok, the second was better, and even then I never understood all the hoopla. Every review I read for the new album was extremely positive, claiming it was their best yet. Their tumblr tag was full of young women typing things like “ASKJHGISHDFK” and incomplete sentences like “I can’t even”. Which, in internet language just means they like it… a lot.

Well, I agree that it’s their best album. It still sounds very much like Vampire Weekend. I will say I’ve given it more attention then their previous releases. It’s fun and quirky as you’d expect but there’s also some songs that deal with more serious things like death and Ezra Koenig’s obvious issues with religion/faith in general.

Overall, I like the album more than I thought I would. Maybe I’m not as crazy about it as some people are but I get it. Oh and one of my favorite lines is in “Finger Back” when he says “‘Cause this Orthodox girl fell in love with the guy at the falafel shop… And why not?” hahaha. I don’t know. It’s just funny.

What do you guys think about the album?


Love your blog! What is your dream job, and do you plan on making it a reality? from Anonymous

Thanks. I don’t really know what my dream job is. I always wanted to be a teacher but I don’t want a strict schedule. I love kids, they are my favorite type of human beings. However, ideally, I would get paid to listen to music and give my opinion about it (I do that already except no one cares).

I’m not really working towards either of those. A job is just a means to an end for me right now. I’m also not interested in making lots of money anyways. So, whatever!
