vampires, weekends, horchata


New Vampire weekend album IS awesome. Horchata. Remixes. Bliss. Dancing in my apartment. 'nuff said. This is the only band that can make the sounds of Paul Simon hip again, post-Graceland. Afro-beats, rock instruments, a taste of Animal collective...delicious.

In other news, I've also become addicted to the HBO show, TrueBlood, and have spent the bulk of the last three days watching the first season, which is the only one on DVD. This may be a short-lived obsession, since I don't have access to HBO or the second season. But it's fabulous, and 1000 times better than Twilight. In fact, Twilight is kind of a rip-off of this whole series, and I'm glad the books and author are getting her dues, since these totally pwn the Twilight series.
