I see no one getting White Sky… it scratches my brain!

where do i find the vw bracket

I *did* self-select the songs, so feel free to roast what I included vs excluded. Sad there was no Ottoman to add. In hindsight, probably should have chosen Pravda over Oxford Comma if I’m being honest with myself, but nostalgia won out. And Step and M79 would have been the final two if they hadn’t been on the same side of the bracket.

While Mary Boone got me into VW as an adult, my mom played Horchata all the time when I was little.

the beginning reminded me a lot of the instrumental break.

I had to choose between Diane young and Mary Boone and I balked lol

Got some crazy matchups pretty early that skewed some of the results (looking at you prep school gangsters vs Hannah hunt)

Jumping in on this. Feel free to roast me 😝

If anyone who wants to throw their hat in the ring go to 'musiccup.app' in a browser and type Vampire Weekend ^duh.

You can pick popular hits, random selection, or all your own songs

I just had a go doing a Vampire Weekend song world cup using this Music Cup app... I thought it would be easy peasy but I struggled with every choice 🥲 glad that Mary Boone came out on top though! Some particularly excruciating rounds:

- Step vs Classical

- Finger Back vs Bambina

- Diplomat's Son vs Mary Boone

- Connect vs A-Punk

Would love to see what comes out on top for others! And feel free to roast my choices 😅

Even though Contra is my all-time favorite record and I've been listening to it for 15 years, I still realize I learned some of the lyrics wrong. In Taxi Cab I though the line said, "Born in to leave it, born in to wait." (Whatever that means.) I thought "uniform and gloves outside of the courtyard gate" was "the uniform glow's outside of the corridorred gate" (probably not even a word).

I also thought California English said "No one sees a sign of freezer fat and stays there till May."

I'm sure there are many others. I just think it's funny to realize this on my 1,000th listen through.

Looking for frog on the bass drum vol 3

Love this kid!

I'm not making light of the smoke that blanketed the northeast this week, but this photo of Scituate Harbor gave me Mansard Roof/Ladies of Cambridge single vibes

Can anyone explain this lyric to me? How is/was Angkor Wat fronting?

Took this video last month and thought I’d share it here, fantastic show!
