I'm usually that way, but I'll make adjustments if I'm in the mood. Theres something about falling asleep when the music sounds like its coming from inside your head that is unlike anything else.

First Beach House album I've listened to. It's beautiful.
The music is groundbreaking.
I dont know about this, man. They arent really doing anything that a band like the Police or even Paul Simon were doing 25/30 years ago
The flip-side is that they play Afro-pop, and have a huge following in the hip-hop community. They headlined the Roots picnic in Philly this summer! What other "hipster" band has legit cred among proper hip-hop acts?

Um, no. Just no.
Seriously, if you want to listen to Afropop, go back to the original stuff from King Sunny Ade, etc. Go back to the 1970s Nigerian and Ghanian stuff. THAT is real Afropop. What Vampire Weekend is doing is watered down, shitty preppy "Afro" pop. To me, jacking some guitar riffs from King Sunny Ade and throwing some syncopated rhythms into indie pop doesn't count as being an Afropop group. Please.
Also, The Roots have been known to love the Dirty Projectors as well, along with myriad other indie groups, so it's not like Vampire Weekend are special in that regard, whatsoever. And, for the record, the VAST MAJORITY of hip-hop heads I know either don't give two shits about Vampire Weekend or can't stand them. Just because a band plays at a Roots-curated festival doesn't mean they have a "following" in the hip-hop community, because they simply don't.
andyuk is to Kings of Leon what LyricalDrug is to Vampire Weekend?
