It's Vampire Weekend Time...this weekend!

Vampire Weekend has made the best album of 2007 (so far). Their internet buzz last year actually did not over hype the album which plays as if Paul Simon (circa the African flavored Graceland record) and The Police went to the Caribbean to see an island flavored music festival followed by a Rushmore screening. The album has tribal and latin style rhythms but still sometimes feel punk or at least new wave. It's diverse as hell and very catchy. But therein lies the problem.
Vampire Weekend has gone from the internet to mainstream radio (death to us all) in six months. And tomorrow night they are on Saturday Night Live.
So at this point I offer some advice: please do not overexpose your band. Stay small for a bit. Don't go for the money. Keep touring. Don't do interviews or photo shoots. Just make more solid records or you will end up like the next Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and die a quick and painful blog based death after your quick follow up album bombs.
