So there’s this indie-rock friendly afro-pop heavily influenced by the sounds of Paul Simon’s Graceland called Vampire Weekend.
They put out a record this week that the indie-rock enthusiast site Pitchforkmedia favorably reviewed and the hype and blogger-frenzy over this has been polarizing, agitating the fussy and minutia-oriented music list serv Mishpucha and driving the Vulture blog to chart what they call the impending “backlash” of the collegiate and musically diverse rockers.
Our biggest concern however is of Paul Simon. It appears from this recent press photos, that the Vampire Weekend buzz is so loud that it is literally sucking the life force out of the singer. We’re worried and preparing our obits now, just in case.
