Feelin' good was good enough for me
Vampire Weekend
Although they may be dubbed as "The Whitest Band Ever" by Christian Lander, creator of the website "Stuff That White People Like," Vampire Weekend's Ivy League/Lax Star douchey image has done little to tarnish their musical clout. Their debut album Vampire Weekend ranked number 17 on the Billboard 200 in 2008, and they were named "Best New Band" by Spin magazine in 2008 as well. Band members include four members: Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Tomson, and Chris Baio. All popped collars aside, they seem like a few pretty fun dudes, especially when mashed up with Kid Cudi.
Hope you all do some BBQing this weekend.
recently being converted into a Phan by pretty much all of my best friends. But if this song doesn't make you smile, what will?
