| Vampire Weekend – Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I like that this song has that 60s California beach vibe to it, talking about a prep boy trying to get laid...it fits. "Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too"...I'm a huge, huge Peter Gabriel fan, but he doesn't really have songs you want to have sex to. "Shaking the Tree" and "Games without Frontiers" have good beat but...no, thank you. The first part, "As a young girl, Luis Vuitton". What woman has Luis Vuitton, let alone a young girl? So she has uber rich parents. "As a sophomore, reggaeton"...Now she's older, trying to have her own personality, trying to be cool. Honestly, I don't know affluent white girl who actually likes reggaeton, but I know a few who play Daddy Yankee or whatever trying to look kinda hip and rebellious. "Is your bed made? Is your sweater on?" - I see a girl just like on the video, a prim coed. |

| Vampire Weekend – Mansard Roof Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I have family in Manhattan who once told me that the island's size was expanded with piles of garbage. So when I hear "garbage and concrete", it makes me think of NYC. As for seeing a Mansard roof through the trees, if you see the scene in your mind's eye, you're looking out from a building or the roof of a building somewhere that has a lot of old Victorian buildings...like NYC. It's lowish, because it's "through the trees" (maybe 4 or 5 floors up). It makes me think of a time when I was in Paris looking a little down at the buildings as we climbed higher and higher. Have some pics. They're not interesting, but it's a view that goes way out. How that relates to the Falkland Islands, no idea. But I think they're painting a scene of looking out at some part of Manhattan from a not-too-high vantage point. |
