Buzzing around and here's what I've got....

"Vampire Weekend – Koenig, keyboardist Rastam Batmanglij, bassist Chris Baio and drummer Christopher Tomson – specialize in an unspoken emotion that isn’t so much kept as it’s passed along like a mild electrical current through a cord – connected at all times to the long snaking fire that can refrigerate, light, heat, connect and do about a billion other things, all in the same form."
- Daytrotter sheds daylight (with MP3s) on Vampire Weekend.

- The Rawking Refuses to Stop puts forth a compelling case of the importance of Oink (which was shut down by 'the authorities' the other day).

- Dead Flowers has the new Oasis track 'Lord, Don't Slow Me Down'. Grab it while you can.
