My initial reaction to Vampire Weekend was, "Geez, could the BE any more Paul Simon with their peppy little African inspired pop? :rolleyes:" But gradually as I heard them more it dawned on me, "Oh yeah, I really rather like Paul Simon's peppy little African inspired pop, don't I."

You know, I hadn't connected them with Paul Simon in my mind, but now that you said it - totally. But yeah, I rather like Paul Simon's peppy little African inspired pop, too.

hehe

After buying the CD I finally heard a couple Vampire Weekend songs - but I think I'm more intrigued by Louis XIV - much more listening is required though

I happened to hear them on KCRW back-to-back with "Diamonds On The Souls Of My Shoes." I thought it was Paul Simon Day, until I was told it was not Simon whatsoever.

Louis XIV!

:eek:



Wow.

I heard recently that rumor was that he's due for hip replacement, but a cursory google search shows the same rumor appeared in 2005, so I'm skeptical.

ETA: Hmm, press release lists him as a "Saturday Headliner". I wonder what that means for the Portishead/Kraftwerk logjam. The lineup page doesn't reflect the addition yet.

Borneio! This might do for scheduling the bats.



(Assuming he still is, I don't exactly follow the personal life of Prince)
