After a day of heavy drinking and participation in a hangover recovery program, I have finally arrived home and spent the last few minutes catching up on Facebook and watching Vampire Weekend's "Cousins" video on repeat. It's a ska-evocative, feel-good, get up and dance video. And that's exactly what I've been doing in my underwear in the privacy of my comfortable little apartment. The groundhog day repetition of it is fun and fresh. And the bassist (or guitarist or whatever string instrument it is that he plays) is odd, quirky a bit rhythmically challenged yet fascinating to watch when they perform live. Thanks to the geek chic boys of VW for hosting this party in my pad. Keep ringin' those bells, boys!
