Tolles neues Album!

Hat jemand im offiziellen Store bestellt? Richtig, dass man alte T-Shirts nicht mit dem neuen Album (weder CD noch Vinyl) zusammen bestellen kann? 3,75 € Porto ist zwar nicht viel, trotzdem blöd irgendwie.

firecrackerkannte paul simon’s „graceland“ vorher nicht. also nicht vor vampire weekend. hab’s mir nun mal angehört, aber kann die vergleiche nicht so recht nachvollziehen…

Da gibt’s auch keine…. eher schon (wenn überhaupt) mit den späten Talking Heads…

Das hat Paul Simon auch gesagt. ♡

Speaking of indie, are you a Vampire Weekend fan? Have you ever met those guys?

I met them. They were playing on Saturday Night Live. My son (I guess he was 16 or 17 then) wanted to go. He was a fan. He wanted to go down to see them. So I thought, Yeah, I’ll go down to see them, too. I guess I’ll go and meet them, because everybody was saying that they were taking stuff from Graceland or whatever. I felt bad. I wanted to go and tell them that I didn’t think they were taking anything. So that’s what I told them. They said, “Do you think we are?” and I said, “No, I think you’re going to the same sources that I went to. You’re drawing from the same well. You’re trying to write interesting songs.” In a way, we were on the same pursuit, but I don’t think you’re lifting from me, and anyway, you’re welcome to it, because everybody’s lifting all the time. That’s the way music grows and is shaped.
