"Since Vampire Weekend"? Jesus, haven't they only had like a demo cd out, or something? can't we at least wait until there's an offical release to hate on?

Dude posts some good selections - always seems to get the blog-house remixes I love so much - but it is the most hyperbolic writing of pretty much anything, anywhere, ever. (See what I did there?)
Their singer was the frontman in a reasonably popular Jacksonville-based Christian ska band called Honeylocust that broke up in 2000, give or take. But then again, weren't we all?
