The most fabulous La Blogothèque crew summoned VMPRWKND to their side of the world, took them hostage, robbed them of their amplifies, stuffed them into a van, and forced them at camerapoint to perform a private rendition of “Mansard Roof.” Kinky bastards they are, they videotaped the whole thing.

The buzz band exploitation continues post-jump, where the beleaguered Ivy Leaguers tellingly sing “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance,” from behind bars, sequestered in La Blog HQ’s private, fenced parking lot.

Vampire Weekend will be released 1/29 on XL. Vampire Weekend the band may never be.

    I’m of two minds about these guys. On the one hand, the whole prep-school rich-kids aspect makes me sort of ill. Not that such people have no business making music, but it sort of makes me want to slap them. It’s probably all just a put-on, though. I also can’t stand it when the singer does his painfully blatant Britt Daniel impression.

    On the other hand, some of their songs are okay.
