Air documentary! Free!

Fucking Air. I love them. Pitchfork.tv nails it again with another potentially great one-week exclusive.




And while I was over there, I stumbled upon everyone's favorite blog-lash victims, Vampire Weekend. Fuck the haters, "A-Punk" is a spectacularly addictive song. Check the P4K vid after the jump.

Vampire Weekend, goddamn bloodsuckers...

It's here. Last week, NYC's Vampire Weekend dropped their hotly anticipated, highly hyped, self-titled and first LP on XL Recordings.

Reading more and more of the hooplah, reaching supernova levels, I really wanted to hate this release. But goddammit, every once in a while, there's actually something that comes out that meets the expectations. For me, this was like Michael Bay's Transformers. I didn't think I liked the people behind the scenes and I thought they didn't know the material they were working with and were just delivering phoned-in approximations and reinterpretations.

Man was I wrong. More comments to come. Anybody else that can't get this damn CD out of their player/MP3s out of their MP3 player?
