vampire weekend overkill redux (or something)

updates: Vampire Weekend's eponymous debut now stands at #5 on the Amazon music sales chart. with a one to two week delay. which surprises me since I'd rarely, if ever, order a disc that wasn't going to ship almost immediately.

(and what's Graceland doing in the top 500 so many years after release?)

but the VW 'backlash' has turned into VW overkill as the Voice ran yet another VW post (in the Sound of the City section) yesterday and I believe there will be a fourth VW article (by Tom Breihan, the piece that I took pics for) that will post later today. and that's probably enough one band with one album (even if they are local).

in other news: Giuliani and Edwards did indeed drop out or 'suspend' their respective campaigns, but Will Kimbrough's WFUV appearance yesterday afternoon was taped, not broadcast live.
but he's still playing the Living Room tonight at 7.
that, at least, hasn't changed.

and I realize that my photo of VW lead singer (and former English teacher) Ezra Koenig is far from the best technical shot I've ever posted, but I do like it.
damn, he looks so young.
