MAILBAG: Vampire Weak And…

vampireweekendcoverart_1.jpgDEAR PHAWKER,

1. A band this allegedly likable must know that it can be despised. Help me bring bring balance to the universe.
2. A decent wedding band could play these songs note-for-note.
3. There’s no fucking way you’re going to bait me into saying something bad about Unitarians.
4. This new album is made possible by our collective unremitting gullibility. Break those fake kwassa-kwassa chains. Send these dudes back to grad school.
5. Wearing Docksiders in 2008 is gay, even if you lace ‘em up with irony.

    Infidel! You not only quoted me out of context, you used “gay” instead of “fucking stupid.”

    You are part of the problem. May your boat shoes spontaneously erupt into glorious hotfoots.

    Or is it hotfeets?

    Fuck.

    I guess if I took hype seriously I might dislike them as well, but geez, it’s their debut, it has some nice moments, the afrobeat guitar gives it a little character, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy for 6 weeks then move on to something else. I just don’t get what’s so irksome about this band.
