vampire weekend preview

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122213523

wow. it's as much fun as i hoped it would be. vampire weekend's new album contra lives us to expectations. sounding like a cross between paul simon's graceland, talking heads '77, a touch of Yaz (in a good way), a sprinkling of english beat, a flashback of the clash's sandinista (a great lp if you don't already have it) and a touch of spoon - its a fresh way to start 2010.

or, just listen to it here...
