Hear Ezra Koenig & Azealia Banks Talk Summer Jams On Beats 1 Radio

Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig’s Beats 1 Radio show Time Crisis has been one of the most reliably entertaining things about the station since it launched earlier this summer. Thus far on the show, he’s had deeply diverting conversations with people like Mark Ronson and Florence Welch, and he had another winner this past week. As Pitchfork points out, the most recent episode found Koenig and Azealia Banks discussing the top five songs on iTunes for the week, which means we got to hear them render verdicts on things like Drake’s “Back To Back” and the Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face.” The show also had Koenig discussing the Grateful Dead with artist Jake Longstreth and talking to co-host and rapper Despot about the weekend that the two of them had attending the EDM-centric HARD Fest, where they were surprise guests during iLoveMakonnen’s set. Listen to the show here; the bit with Banks starts around the 54:00 mark.
