Vampire Weekend - Campus
Vampire Weekend album review:
Sounds like reggae-lite. Like someone who listened to too much Paul Simon’s Rhythm of the Saints and did a Bob Marley impression while sticking to their British rock roots. I mean its good, just odd.
I like A-Punk because its the little pop song that could. I am smitten with Campus because I love the line
“In the afternoon
You’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony
After class”
But when he says it, it sounds like summer.

I saw The Fall. Good movie. If anyone tells you the movie sucks, tell them they are (mostly) wrong. Here’s why.
Yes, the acting and writing needed a little upgrade. I agree that perhaps it needed a little push up in quality. It’s not bad. Just not fantastic.
Tarsem’s imagery is amazing and he really has a great eye for film and directing. He has such potential to do a really amazing film and create a masterpiece. Since your eyes are so happily entertained, you really need some good stuff for your ears and and brain. But I think the beauty of the images can stand alone, and the writing/acting does not get in the way.
So, I say go see the movie. It’s worth $10-$12. I look forward to seeing more from Tarsem.
PS. Im kinda fastinated by Lee Pace. Don’t really know why yet.
PPS. Beethoven’s 7th. Really great job with this piece of music. He really needs to do a few more music videos.

How 10 Bands Got Their Names
1 month ago1. Modest Mouse comes from the Virginia Woolf story The Mark on the Wall. There’s a quote that says, “Even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people…”
2. a-ha got their name because it means the same thing in multiple languages.
3. Duran Duran took their name from the villain in the movie Barbarella – Dr. Durand-Durand.
4. R.E.M. was named when Michael Stipe opened the dictionary and randomly pointed to a word.
5. The Pogues were originally called Pogue Mahone, which is Gaelic for “kiss my arse.” It was shortened later.
6. The Bay City Rollers, are, as you might suspect, named after Bay City, Michigan. But none of the band members are actually from Bay City (They’re Scottish); the city was just plucked from the map.
7. The Killers took their name from a fictional band. The “band” was featured in the New Order music video for their song “Crystal”.
8. 10,000 Maniacs adapted their band name from the horror movie Two Thousand Maniacs.
9. Steely Dan is named after an… erm… adult toy… in the William S. Burroughs novel Naked Lunch.10. Flight of the Conchords came about when Bret, one of the band members, had a dream about flying guitars that looked like Concordes. He was telling the other band member about it and the name was invented.

Interesting site. it reminds me of Pandora, but it is based on mood instead of artist name.
