I’m backlashing against the backlash, Vampire Weekend is a sweet band! This song is catchy and fun and the video is great. What’s so bad about that?
The most underrated album of the year is getting it’s own fully animated movie! Maybe now you’ll show it some respect! This looks like it’s going to be AWESOME!
The other day me and Danny were having a great IM conversation. We were rating our favorite albums in order of groups we obsess over. I think it started with SM and Pavement. And it got me thinking I wanted to take every favorite song from all of his 4 wonderful albums and make a best of. I hope Danny approves my selections, we’ll see. But these songs are pretty neat.

In December of 1944, whilst behind enemy lines during the Rhineland Campaign, Private Kurt Vonnegut was captured by Wehrmacht troops and subsequently became a prisoner of war. A month later, Vonnegut and his fellow POWs reached a Dresden work camp where they were imprisoned in an underground slaughterhouse known by German soldiers as Schlachthof Fünf (Slaughterhouse Five). The next month - February - the subterranean nature of the prison saved their lives during the highly controversial and devastating bombing of Dresden, the aftermath of which Vonnegut and the remaining survivors helped to clear up.
This is a letter he wrote to his family that May from a repatriation camp, in which he informs them of his capture and survival. Transcript here.
