he sounds like a complete idiot too.

[sbessiso]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[ficklecycle]

Seriously, artists need to cut this shit out.

[sbessiso]

being gay?

[Queenie Cupcakes]

I always assumed he was anyway lol Good for him though! Although, is publicizing your homosexuality really that necessary anymore, especially in the indie music community where a lot of people are gay? I suppose it serves a purpose of support for younger homosexual people who find comfort in having respectable gay role models.

[SoulDischarge]

Seriously though. I really hate when songs I write don't become gay anthems.

[sbessiso]

i know where i should aim my underwear now

[BlackSwan]

He clearly sucks at being gay. If he was better, that song totally would have become a gay anthem.

[sbessiso]

well he's cute and thats most of it right there

[suprefan]

Well... just the keyboardist.

Youre turning into TMZ for bands now.

Absolutely, and coming out is a very big important step in your life. He must feel so wonderful right now

[SoulDischarge]

He looks like a fucking douchebag in that picture. And to think of it, he sounds like a fucking douchebag in that article. Must just be a coincidence.

[sbessiso]

such a hater

[SoulDischarge]

Maybe people should just try a little harder to not be scumfucks and I won't hate so much.

[sbessiso]

its a trap.

youre going to hate them regardless

[SoulDischarge]

Hate's the only thing I've got going for me these days. I've got to nourish it.

[JewFace]

Sorry, I'm with Patrick on this one. This dude sounds like a total douchebag. Way to represent Persian gays.

“I don’t associate the term composer with exciting music today,” he says dryly. “As a songwriter and producer in our band, I get to be the composer I always envisaged for myself. I get to sample M.I.A. There probably are a bunch of contemporary composers who wish they could do that but don’t have the balls.”

[sbessiso]

youre looking too much into it

[Gribbz]

Yep. Aurgasm interviewed them and they apparently tried to portray themselves as poor, struggling artists.

EDIT* He called them out on it too.

[GeezrRckr]

presentation is not VW's strong suit.

source/link? I believe it, just wanna hear the full story

*paging forza*

[Gribbz]

Pretty sure that was the story. Ask him. It was after the show they did with Hot Chip here.

[JewFace]

Salah, let's get real here. If this dude managed the Dunkin Donuts down the street instead of producing his ground-breaking MIA-sampling music, you wouldn't look twice. No way is he hot enough for this kind of attitude.

[darkjustice]

lame

[microcuts]

Gay or not, I still loathe Vampire Weekend.

[gaypalmsprings]

He's ghey, not gay. Vampire Weekend sucks & the dude needs to learn to write gay anthems. BTW - gay anthems are usually sung by women - Gloria Gaynor, Sister Sledge, Pink, Diana Ross, etc.

[bmack86]

That's fine. Moving on.

[TomAz]

not sure why this is a surprise.

[Coachella Bound]

hahahahaha!
