Friday Bears: Vampire Weekend on Colbert

In last night's performance of "Holiday" on the Colbert Report, Vampire Weekend, Stephen asks the band what Contra really means, the well-deserved "Oxford Comma" scrutiny (in AP Style, they don't give a fuck, if you're wondering) and drummer Chris Tomson's questionable appearance.

You can watch both the performance and the interview below. Contra is available now via XL Recordings.

Thursday Bears: New ... New Pornographers Video - Crash Years

Canadian super indie-philes The New Pornographers released the new video for their single "Crash Years," off the band's recently released Together LP.

The Sammy Rawal-directed video depicts an overhead view of multi-colored human subjects marching all cute n' shit on cobblestones. Yeah, it's okay.

Together is out now via Matador Records.

About the Week

My apologies for being away for so long. What was I doing, you ask? Mini-vacation.

I'll return to normal work tomorrow.
