Probably Admin’s favorite band for this year, it’s about time Vampire Weekend gets recognized on this website. So let me recite what I know about them from memory. Vampire Weekend formed in New York, since its members all graduated from Colombia University. They were referred to as one of the biggest bands to come out NY since Interpol, and are probably one of the most interesting bands out right now.

You’ve probably already heard of them though, and might not understand the indie hype. Unless you listen to their album you never will. Take African pop music (Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa) mix it with flirty violins and pile that over a bouncy drum and guitar to understand what they are doing. VW is a melting pot of sound, lyrics and creativity. Here’s a newer song from a movie that recently came out and another from their self titled cd.

Without music life would be a mistake

|Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Nietzsche had that right [for non-deaf people]. Music is a great part of our lives. It is the fire on a cold night, it shakes and moves every molecule in your body. It sways and bops, it bumps and tingles; music resonates in our lives. 

Wind Up Lounge is here to emphasize good music, good being relative. The stars at the bottom of the screen are for you to decide how much you like a song, so click off. Don’t vote on the content, comment on it. IF you happen to read something on the page, just know it can be real or it can fabricated. So sit back and chill.
