    Vampire *fucking* Weekend

    I've discovered that the Vampire Weekend record is one of those records that I might listen to a lot at first but quickly gets shelved. Its just not engaging enough musically. Too many tracks are simply 'nice' and don't draw me in or make me want to savor them. I definitely don't consider the...

    How important do you think a music video is?

    There are a number of artists who have made music videos. In many cases these videos cost a lot of money, in other cases they are done on a tight budget. Sometimes they serve an artistic purpose, perhaps complimenting the music or perhaps being developed alongside the music. In other cases it...
