Twilight Eclipse Vampire Weekend Song "Jonathan Low" 2010-05-27 14:45:33

When I heard that Vampire Weekend was joining the Eclipse soundtrack, I admittedly rolled my eyes. Vampires, Vampire Weekend — isn't it all just a bit too obvious? But the song "Jonathan Low" is somewhat surprising. Filled with orchestral touches and still retaining the band's boppy sound, it feels a little restrained for Vampire Weekend but lighter than typical Twilight music (see Muse's Read more

Music Video for Vampire Weekend's "Holiday"

Forget the tight pants and preppy sweaters, because the new hipster garb choice goes back to the 18th century. In their new video for "Holiday," the boys of Vampire Weekend prance around in coattails on the beach (you'd think with all that sun time, they'd be a little less pale). The result is a little Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette and totally fun — although I'm not sure it can compete Read more

I just wrapped up my first day, and man, what a great way to close out my evening. Jay-Z got the crowd jumping with a special guest (and fireworks!), but he's not the only crowd-pleaser.

Watch Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Jonas in New Vampire Weekend Video "Giving Up the Gun" 2010-02-19 10:15:54

Jake Gyllenhaal is all over my radar this week. First he gushed about Peter Sarsgaard's acting skills, and now he's getting goofy in Vampire Weekend's new video for "Giving Up the Gun." The upbeat single is actually my favorite track off Contra and it comes accompanied by a cute video featuring a girl kicking butt on the tennis court. As we've come to expect from the band, the video is preppy Read more

No matter how you feel about pop-up ads in your iPhone, it's likely that you Read more

I'm taking a look at both albums, but Heidi Montag's debut Superficial hits iTunes today, too. (Don't forget to check out the Music Review Group. If you submit Read more
