Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend
Here?s something out of a cult classic vampire movie, though you knew that was coming.
Basically if you took Bob Marley, grew him up in San Diego in the middle of a MxPx concert and told him to record his thoughts and musical tastes he most likely would produce something along the lines of Vampire Weekend, though then again, maybe not, but you can surely tell that these guys have grown up on Marley, weed and classic movies.
You would think they suck from this review and that the genre is too mixed up, but these kids do for music what Che Guevara did for Latin America. Viva a Bloody Vampire weekend!! yum.

Mates of State Re-Arrange Us
From the Wicker Park Soundtrack these guys arrived kicking and swinging and became instant hits in my world, like most everything else on that album.
With Re-Arrange Us there’s completely a grown up cleaner and more full sound, though no loss of experimentation. They use effective piano, egg shakers, violin guitars orange juice and vodka which they then shake and consume creating fantastic mind explosions. Mix Imogen Heap with some Jimmy Eat World if you want to get technical on me.
It seems that Male/Female vocal duos are becoming more and more amazing these days, then again maybe they’re mates from MY state. HA! Yeah right! What
