Headline says it. Yesterday you saw photo and blurb that introduced this far-flung pop cultural consortium, today it materializes. What does it say about this band that somehow, despite being news to me when the internet grabbed a hold of it, this lineup of Friends Of Vampire Weekend not only didn't surprise but seemed entirely logical to me? Like of course RZA, a JoBro, Lil Jon, and Donnie Darko are gonna get down with Contra. Because at this point who isn't? Can't stay mad at an album that drops and repeats so effortlessly, save those critics with overly prickly sensitivities for the embedded semiotics of race and class issues in pop music.

Tennis is the game, RZA's the line judge, Gyllenhaal is funny, this is all sort of great. Here's what Ezra had to say about pulling it together.Continue reading Vampire Weekend - "Giving Up The Gun" Video (Feat. RZA, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lil Jon & Joe Jonas)...
