What b-sides do VW have? I've heard ottoman but that's it so far :/

You can refer to this post for the list of Vampire Weekend's b-sides/bonus tracks.

And to that other person who sent a message asking where to download these b-sides—-you can get them via iTunes

Hi Marice! I was wondering if there is a link to the q magazine interview anywhere on the Internet (or scans of it)? Thanks so much!

The Smartest Guys in the Room: Vampire Weekend (Q Magazine, June 2013)

hey marice! do u have a link to that interview from austin city limits a few years ago? the one where they talk about jersey shore and ct shows his chest? thx alot!

Hi bb, actually CT showed his ~situation~ (abs) in that video but anyway here you go:

Vampire Weekend in Austin City Limits 2010

(via their Reddit AMA)

(I hope this answers your question?)

sorry to bother you but do you have a list of all the songs vampire weekend has covered? or that ezra has been featured on?

Covers:

  • Ca Plane Pour Moi (Plastic Bertrand)
  • Don't Come Around Here No More (Tom Petty)
  • Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac)
  • Fight For This Love (Cheryl Cole)
  • Have I The Right? (The Honeycombs)
  • I'm Going Down (Bruce Springsteen)
  • Stand by Me (Ben E. King)
  • Ruby Soho (Rancid)
  • Exit Music (For A Film) (Radiohead)
Songs featuring Ezra Koenig:
  • Papa Hobo - Ezra Koenig
  • Dynamo - Abd al Malik feat. Ezra Koenig
  • I Could Be Wrong - Chromeo feat. Ezra Koenig
  • Carby - Discovery feat. Ezra Koenig
  • Jessica - Major Lazer feat. Ezra Koenig
  • Warm Heart of Africa - The Very Best feat. Ezra Koenig

Sorry to wade into the conversation below but Ottoman is the most underrated song by Vampire Weekend! It's such a beautiful song. Shame they don't play it live that much.. Just sayin'

I agree!  I think Vampire Weekend's b-sides are really good and underrated

What are your TOP 5 vw songs ever? Like out of all the songs they've done? Mine would be: Cousins, Oxford Comma, Finger Back, M79, and Run.

  • Everlasting Arms
  • Walcott
  • Step
  • Horchata
  • Finger Back

I know you already posted it, but I am really looking for some good summer reading and was wondering if there was a list of VW's favorite books and authors to check out? Thanks friends!

Please refer to this post

The timing for this new DY vid might seem unusual because it just isn't the way ppl are used to things happening but I say the more vids the merrier! (And CT without a shirt on is really hot OKAY)

Yes of course, lbr that's the highlight of this video

To continue the discussion from that last anon, hasn't Vampire Weekend always been doing this? They released their Holiday video in May, four months after Contra was released. And even with Oxford Comma, it was released several months after their self-titled debuted. Ezra has always been kind of a filmmaker of some sorts. I think they just like making videos.

I think the previous anon was talking about the first single's release date not the album? But anyway, yeah I agree with you that they like to make videos. I hope they will release more soon!

what interview did they say don't lie was their favourite song out of the album?

CT and Baio mentioned it in this 3FM interview; Rostam tweeted about it

Hi anon, to be honest I was actually surprised too that they...







Hi anon, to be honest I was actually surprised too that they will release a video for Diane Young 2 months after the single was released (that is why I kept on hoping that it will be for another song even if it was too obvious that it will be for Diane Young haa). But I guess they have their reasons that's why they did it. Thanks for sending in your opinion bb!

Did you find a way we could view BBC One Radio Weekend here in the states?

Unfortunately I didn't :( Someone posted a video of Vampire Weekend's performance on Youtube but privatized it. I'll ask my friend if she was able to rip it and if she could upload it on Youtube again.
