"Vampire Weekend", doesnt sound like your average off the shelf indie sensation, now does it? but it is a sensation, that is, they are. you might have heard the hype. you might have heard a song or two. you might have read a review. i know i did. and then i got the album. and its every bit as great as its said to be. take my word (this seems to be a recurring theme in my posts nowadays, this whole business of "taking my word for it").
happy. light. fresh. easy. these are a few words id use to describe Vampire Weekend and their eponymous debut album. one of the better indie pop albums in a while. lots of fast strumming high-pitched guitars and rhythmic drumming (i get caribbean and african vibes from it). if this sounds appealing to you, Vampire Weekend is something for you.
oh and theyre very very white.

Dejuno?
i went to see juno on saturday, been wanting to see it for ages. those few of my friends who had been lucky enough to see it before it came out here in finland had exhausted pretty much every superlative known to man. so eager as a beaver i went to see it. and trust me when i say this, you will love it. absolutely adore it. juno macguff is positively the coolest female lead to come out of the closet (not that shes a lesbian) in a long while. and if you like movies with heart you will love "juno". its loaded with witty humour and a soundtrack thats friggin awesome! so how can you go wrong? i dont know what else to say, if you have a heart and you like laughing, see this movie. now.
