Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge

Each person designs their own life, freedom gives them the power to carry out their own designs, and power gives the freedom to interfere with the designs of others.

V A M P I R E W E E K E N D -- CONTRA


I have nothing bad to say about Vampire Weekends second released studio album named Contra. There is such a great summer vibe to this group. This ten track album has a pretty mellow but raw and sheisty break out to it. There is a part during the song called Run near the end that gives me a creepy vibe. Its not so surprising as it is interesting to know that lead singer Ezra Koenig uses a auto-tune device during a track called California English.
When your contemplating buying this album on the shelf at your favorite music store not only should you consider checking out the babe on the cover, but also
stand correct that this will not be a waste of your hard earned coin. Tracks to listen to in my mind are (its a single and a great one, "Cousins"), Giving Up The Gun, Horchata, and Diplomat's Son.

Post Stockholm Syndrome:

Karen O inspires me in ways I could never explain. Please enjoy this one.

Stockholm Syndrome

A nice reminder of the talent. Seven members. Oh and piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, xylophone, keyboard, French horn, accordion, hurdy gurdy, and a harp.
