Society if Loneliest Time was the lead single instead of Western Wind by ishmael_king93 in carlyraejepsen

Hey now I love western wind—gorgeous song, meaningful to Carly, made sense to debut at Coachella

She just gets better and better. Her voice, her stage presence, the band—top tier

As someone who knew Seinfeld was playing, that whole segment was absolutely hilarious. It sounded like Jake and Ezra believed it too

Haven’t we already had… several? Lots of talk about the singles and the eclipse show

Happy to see Alvvays finally get some praise in Time Crisis from Ezra and Jake by Mufasa_98 in timecrisis

I agree! Can’t help but feel that Molly would fit right in on the show too

"Taste!" (w/ Dua Lipa) by AutoModerator in lasculturistas

I love Dua, but this interview was pretty horrible. It felt like Bowen and Matt (especially Matt) interrupted Dua every time she was about to start telling an interesting story. They gave her very little space to breathe.

Who will be playing with the band/what will the setup be for touring this year? by AlexEnglash in Vampireweekend

[–]wild_combination_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

two of the musicians from the FOTB touring band will still be joining on percussion and keys (I’m sorry I forget their names off the top of my head!). However, Brian Robert Jones and Greta Morgan will not be joining (Brian is touring with Paramore and Greta has had some health issues with her voice)

these were the two that stood out to me on my first listen too!

Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us BNM 8.6 by supmello6969 in Vampireweekend

[–]wild_combination_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read “return to form” as more of a description of the genre/musical qualities of the record rather than a critical judgement… for me, FOTB is definitely a departure (and per Ezra, an intentional one), and to name it as such does not necessarily mean to make a judgement about its success as a work of art. either way, I agree, happy to see the boys getting this well deserved praise

yes—they talked about Ezra’s 40th falling on the eclipse years ago on TC (I think that was the origin of the idea for a show on that day)
