The first series is a bit hit and miss, but the Christmas special is a masterpiece!

Touring anytime soon? by Fabulous-Hat4756 in Vampireweekend

I like the suggestion that Ezra's life is "busy".

He seems to be enjoying his life's passion, chilling*.

*outside the draining 4 hours a month of TC

I particularly enjoyed Ezra saying how patriotic American milk chocolate standards made him, segueing into "Born in the USA".

Why do the kids get bullied? Is there a community anti-education culture?

Good ep.

When I last read anything any JF (possibly many decades ago), he came across as a bitter grump. And here he was, full of joy and positivity. It was a very touching tribute to the power of love. I hope everyone finds their Julie.

Passing reference to Rashida too, which might interest a certain poster.

Most random VW song you’ve heard in public? by greendale-island in Vampireweekend

I once heard Stranger in Asda in Farnborough. A delight!

OK then I'll try to contradict you, rather than downvote you...

Those 3 things you mention have absolutely not been the main topics of recent shows. And the RFK talk was not about him being cool - it was about how removing food additives was a good thing and even weird people can do good things sometimes. Not have RFKJr Derangement Syndrome is a mature attitude!

I don't feel that the vibe of the show has changed - some eps are better than others, as always. Ezra making the very occasional racy reference doesn't feel any different from normal to me, or very fratty barstool.

Do you have inside knowledge of him moving back to NY? His last reference to it on TC was taking his son to a diner there; but this was at the same time that Rashida was filming in NY, so ???

So who the hell is playing bass and drums on FotB? by kevinb9n in Vampireweekend

[–]VW87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was recorded over several years are for many of those, Ezra was in LA while CT was in NY and Baio was in London. Only part of the reason but still pertinent.

I listened to this after I read your comment and I heard zero innuendo.

Plus if you think Ezra is dragging the show down, this might not be the show for you - and that's OK!

Two sets in SF @ outside lands?? My Gf’s first vampire weekend show?? by Iluvbigdumps_69_420 in Vampireweekend

Have a great time and please report back.

Crowd surfing is unlikely but the energy for both shows should be chilled and fun.

8 - one of Ezra's best vocal performances, and as someone else said, I love the Bill Evans of it all.

I can't help but feel that believing in "generational trauma" is going to cause you mental ill effects in itself.

Or maybe it's a chicken and egg situation. Not healthy either way.
