I’m not the first person to say this, but Vampire Weekend is a great band. Here is my official prediction: They are going to get big. I just want to say this before they get MTV big and all you ever hear are their ringtones.

I’m not an album reviewer, just a kid with an internet connection, so I’ll make this short. It’s a great, laidback album that isn’t unnecessarily long. You know those albums that stack all the good songs in the first dozen tracks and fill the last nine with recordings that should have been left on the studio floor? This is not that album, it stops at eleven tracks and it’s all gold. My favorites are ‘Oxford Comma‘, ‘I Stand Corrected‘ and ‘Walcott’.

Don’t be throw off by the name, Vampires probably would not listen to this music. Not even on the weekends.

I “stumbledupon” this really cool website: Musicovery. You pick your mood or your dance mood (!) it gives you an array of songs. You also isolate type of music to only get a playlist of those songs. Lots of fun. I haven’t tried out their iTunes/Amazon/ebay functions, but I trust that I will soon. Not quite sure what the benefit of registering is though, because using it as is still cool. (But–am I the only one who got creepy Google Ads?)

Just stumbled across this on the webs. I don’t fully understand what powerful magics are being used to create this phenomenon, but Avril Lavigne’s single “Girlfriend” is available in all of seven languages (the chorus, at least). My opinion of Ms. Lavigne has never made sense. I like that she plays instruments. I think she has a great voice. Lastly, she’s pretty. (Poke around Egotastic if you disagree) However, I do not care for her music. Still, I have to ask, was she really singing in Chinese, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese and Japanese? Also, I have to ask, do the Chinese, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese or Japanese care? On both counts, doubtful.

Hey, how about a song I don’t hate?

Oh, you’d like seconds?
