Vampire Weekend

Before you begin to worry about 2 consecutive days of nightwalkers sucking people's blood, I can tell you that Vampire Weekend is a band. Worry free!
I was lucky enough to have a friend who has a brother who had two extra tickets to a concert of theirs at the First Unitarian Church this past Thursday. I'm pretty new at listening to these guys, so it was pretty much a stab in the dark, but I was happily surprised at the outcome.
Vampire Weekend is a band that came from New York and has only recently becoming known to people outside of that area. They came out with their first CD only within this past month and are already on tour to promote it. Their style is a wonderful mix of energy and frankness, singing about things such has karma, New Jersey, and laundry. Their lead singer (not sure of his name) has a great high voice that's not overpowering. The combination of his voice and the drumbeats used sounds almost African (the members of the band are all white males, 4 in total) and most of what they do is relatively simple, but that's not to say easy. If the bass line is playing, it's almost definitely playing alone with the drums, and the same with the lead guitar or the keyboard. Every instrument is treated with the same care. I say it's simple because there's not much going on at one time, but it takes a lot of care to do that, just as it is the same for a seemingly "simple" painting.

I was sick for about 3 days this week, and I think that's all I'm going to get, which I'm greatful for. I try to drink a lot of green tea and Vitamin C supplements and such, and since I don't have much money for food and therefore eat seldomly, that green tea and Vitamin C doesn't have too much work to do. I guess I can consider that a good thing, right?

After listening to "Teardrop" by Massive Attack for years, I've just learned that it's the theme song for the series "House" about that doctor with a cane. I'll do my best to not pull the "Damn, now that everyone knows about it I can't enjoy it as much" like I did with every song from the "Garden State" soundtrack (and most recently "Juno").

For up-to-date-Isaac-news:
I recently found out that my best friend is leaving for Ireland this summer, making me very jealous, though I was only there a few months ago for the second time. I really do love the place.
Also, just found a pair big fuzzy comfortable socks that I had received for Christmas. Awesome.
