Vampire Weekend has quickly become one of my new fav bands for a few reasons.

1. They sound like Paul Simon got a peppy Red Bull buzz and began jamming with The Shins on a tropical island while tossing back coconut rum drinks with colorful umbrellas in them.
2. One of the best tracks off their debut is more or less about how crunk rapper Lil' Jon is one of the few dudes you can trust ("Oxford Comma").
3. They have no apparent fear of wearing pink sweaters and slim khakis.
4. This spazzy one-shot video for "A-Punk" pwns! I rest my case.
