Vampire Weekend – The Kids don’t Stand a Chance

I was reading on last.fm that everyone things Vampire Weekend wouldn’t exist if Ra Ra Riot had come out sooner, and i just had to disagree. I think Vampire Weekend uses some of the same instruments, but the sound is completely different. Vampire Weekend sounds like a rock band and Ra Ra Riot sounds like an acoustic ensemble. They feed different hungers in my own persona.

”Kids Don’t Stand a Chance” is a a sad but true song probably about college campus recruiters who come and show off their aquired bling through big business and try to lure creative young minds to join the force and continue to toil away day in and day out so that they can go home to sleep on a softer pillow. "Sled23" got it first.

Also checkout their A-Punk video on youtube. It’s flippin sweet yo!
