  • GRR I didn't tape long enough last night so I didn't get to see them on SNL. But here's the only video on YouTube I could find that wasn't taken off for copyright infringement. They played A-Punk and M79, but it's not on YouTube anymore. Did you guys watch it? =D
  • thanks for the link! wub.gif I wish I had a chance to see such things on TV... sad.gif
  • Ah so many links and I don't have time to watch!
    Huge fucking paper to write this weekend and it's killing me!
    I did see the first performance on SNL last night and it was adorable!
    But then I went to sleep because I knew fucking daylight savings time was going to fuck me over.
    I can't wait til this paper is over so I can check out all this videos!
    Vinnie how did you find so many wonderful pictures?!
  • ^^
    ugh, yes. i hate that. i haven't got much hw to do though biggrin.gif good luck with your paper!!

    oh, and i found all my pictures on flickr. there was like 2000. i'm sure i didn't make it past half of them...

    ahh! i was so nervous the whole day...my body couldn't take their cuteness!!! i was totally freaking out. at the end of the show they were just hugging everyone, awwwww...it made me happy. oh! and then there was that pic they showed with their chins on their hands and then their elbows on their knees (if that makes any sense...) well it was super adorable. wub.gif they're going to kill me!!!

    i think i had some sort of vw dream but i can't remember it sad.gif
  • hahaha aw Vinnie you're funny.
    DUDE I'm so sad I didn't buy tickets to the El Rey show! a;lsfjsd
    It's during my fucking spring break but its fuckin sold out and too many people are bidding on ebay. I hate ebay.
    GROWL.
    sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif
    *tear*
  • ^^
    aww, yeah, they sold out fast. i didn't buy them at first because i didn't have any money so i had to go on ebay. i got a pair for about $80...i think that's decent...but i guess considering that they were like $14 that's pretty high...
  • okay, so I totally fell asleep after they played A-Punk!
    and I missed M79, which sucks cause I haven't heard that one as often.

    but I found it on youtube, thankfully, even though apparently snl are control freaks about copyright enfringement?
    M79
    A-Punk, in case that other link up there dies...
    hopefully they won't get deleted right away smile.gif
    but anyways, they were totally adorable, and I love the little string quartet playing with them, that was very cool.

    and yeah, I completely found out about them AFTER they played Boston... and it was the MFA, too which would have been supercool. sad.gif
    oh well. Maybe eventually they won't sell out? Maybe?

    biggrin.gif
  • gaah Watching the M79 video makes me want to learn it on the violin. It can't be impossible...

    edit: ahhh! Rostam close-ups!!! aww him and his giagantamungus scarves. <3

    and Vinnie, those mtv clips are spectacular!! wub.gif
    poor Chris Baio, he was so cute trying to ride that bike smile.gif
    and the PSA... classic smile.gif smile.gif
    I love when bands have a sense of humor. It just makes everything better.


    Oh sad.gif I feel really out of the loop cause I can't watch the videos. That PSA is the only thing I can watch (fuck you mtv) It was great though! laugh.gif

    Angelaaaaaa, lovely darling beautiful sexy Angela wub.gif Could you please upload your fanvid somewhere else for me? I need to see it! Especially after all the fuss it caused.

    Also, as of today, I've burned their CD 5 different people. I know it sounds bad but the band make hardly a skerrick off of album sales and I'm spreading the love at a more rapid pace than if these people had to go out and buy it (if they bought it at all.)
    Sorry. I had to unload. I'm OK yeah?

  • Just to let you all know, NPR is webcasting their SXSW show (which includes Jens Lekman and Shout Out Louds. I wish I could go. sad.gif). You can read about it here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...toryId=87924284

    Also, I have to add this because I love Daytrotter and Spinto Band: http://www.daytrotter.com/article/1195/vault-vampire-weekend
  • Ah I finally got their album!
    LOVE LOVE LOVE
    My favorite song is still "I Stand Corrected" too! (I forgot who else's favorite it was)

    Ahhhhhhhhh so cute

    You're welcome! Your Tommy is going to be at SXSW? He's going to be here next week. I'm thinking about going, but I have no one to go with and it's at a place that I don't really know how to get to. If it was at a different venue, I wouldn't mind going by myself.

    Now, to get back on topic, both of the VW San Francisco shows are sold out, but I could only have gone to one anyway (damn age restrictions).

    Eeeee, thanks Kalinda!!
    I won't be out of school in time to hear Jens or the Shout Out Louds, but I'll get to hear VW at least.

    (oh, and Spinto Band? wub.gif )

    haha I still haven't bothered to figure out who Tommy is... it's almost more entertaining when I don't know, haha. But seriously, who is he? tongue.gif

    So today after school this pretentious indie snob kid was playing music in the art department, and he goes "let's put on everyone's favorite new band" and I was immediately like "VW!?!!?!", just in my head
    and then it turned out he really did mean Vampire Weekend.
    and I started singing along and he and his friend were really impressed that I knew who they were.
    smile.gif
    good story, right? tongue.gif

    Oui. I had a friend that heard me say Vampire Weekend a couple of days ago and she started obsessing with me. And then I made a song reference by saying the kids don't stand a chance...she just gaped at me. haha
