No reason to shit on Vampire Weekend, but also no reason for me to listen to ‘em.

Just sounds like resurrected Simon and Garfunkel to me. By kids trying to be Simon and Garfunkel. They are to S&G what The Strokes are to The Rolling Stones, for me. And I don’t like Simon/Funkel to begin with.

So we blog readers all hate the blog bands…….my head hurts.

I do agree that most of the above mentioned bands are just terrible, and i’d like to add Port O’Brien to the list, but I was blown away at how good Gaslight was when I first checked them out.

They are no Two Cow Garage but still it’s a solid record.

no reason to shit on Vampire Weekend guys!

but I agree, She and Him is a snoozefest. I cannot understand how people like it.

the new Animals Collective is ok, nowhere near as good as some of their old stuff

anyhow, I do love the Gaslight Anthem, so props to them

I hate blog bands too, and while I don’t “hate” Fleet Foxes, I will live a happy life if I never hear them again. Vampire Weekend and She & Him both induce vomiting for me. Gaslight Anthem is not bad, and they are super popular right now in Toronto. I am going to try to catch their show at the end of March, but a lot of ticket outlets are sold out already (I refuse to use ticketmaster). I guess I would rather the kids listen to Gaslight Anthem than Animal Collective.

She & Him is made up of M. Ward and the main chick from the movie “Elf”, and its the equivelent of slugging nyquil while watching cspan…i am also having a hard time getting that bon iver guy also…yep, i am with you on that animal collective one too…

I’ve not heard of that one.
The new one that has my head shaking is Animal Collective.
That album is fucking horrible.
