Seriously, wtf is wrong with making an album that the whole blogosphere happened to like?

If he wants to be taken seriously by people who know a hell of a lot more about music, he should concentrate on listening to some, not picking out cute preppy outfits and making videos that look like Old Navy commercials.

Every white Obama supporter is not a 4th generation Ivy Leaguer with a sense of entitlement. While those folks may be Obama-ites, to say that being White and Liberal and therefore for Obama makes you an entitled brat is too much.

(Stereogum seems to already be backlashing on VW, so it's pretty much join the NPRBucks side of the game or bust at this point.)

Also, "Nothing Feels Good" was generally good, dipping into being excellent in places. It's funny to imagine that (often embarassing) extreme of emotional expression in indie music as a contrast to the aggressiveley false, vapid aspects of Vampire Weekend.

On the other hand, writing commentary in the third person like "KK supposes this, KK has not heard that" is just totally fucking douchebag pretentious.
