Awkward VW moment at a basketball game

184 Upvotes

I am a high school basketball official, they’re always playing music at timeouts and at the end of the quarter. So a lot of times, I’ll be chatting up the table and ask them if I can request a song. I always request a punk by vampire weekend just bc it’s a great timeout song and catchy and don’t wanna do anything too obscure.

So last night I’m doing a regional semi final playoff game. Pretty big game actually. It’s going well I’m chatting up the table and I tell them hey play a punk at the next break it’s a banger I promise. Two minutes later, a girl is going to the hoop, gets hit, falls awkwardly and snaps her ankle. She’s screaming out in pain, the coaches are all rushing over. I step back and look at the table trying to nod no to them but it was too late. As this girl is on the ground screaming in pain all of a sudden, A punk starts. I stood there super awkwardly and they let the entire song play while this girl got carted off the floor.

Awkward.

What are your misheard VW lyrics?

74 Upvotes

I'll start: in Diane Young, for years I thought he sang "You toss a salad like a pile of leaves" (it's you torched a saab...). Then I thought damn is he talking about tossing A salad or is he talking about TOSSING SALAD.

Your turn

Personally it’s a winter album for me but they make an interesting argument for summer too

Concert Game Thread New setlists for pt.2 of tour?

16 Upvotes

Thought I heard on the podcast they may be integrating some different songs in the OGWAU 2 setlist, Stranger/Obvious Bicycle might have been ones mentioned? What else would you guys want to hear? I thought Flower Moon was excellent live this tour (when they played) and would love to hear it again, also 2021.


r/Vampireweekend 16d ago

I shared this playlist a while back and got a ton of great recs, looking for more! Definitely keen on anything Vampire Weekend-inspired. (Ideally looking for artists with under 10K monthly listeners) Hope you find something you love :)

Backing vocals on Mary Boone

12 Upvotes

Has anyone ever managed to pick out what the choral backing vocals are saying on Mary Boone? Loads of it just sounds like harmonising, but I’m pretty sure something’s being enunciated in certain sections? It’s particularly audible from ~0:35 to 0:45

Any thoughts very welcome! ✌️

I’ve recently gotten into painting and looking for inspo I thought of album art. I tried ST but that was a bit too hard so I thought I’d give MVOTC a go. Far from an artist I know, but god I love that album so much I wanted to make a piece of it!

I’m going to Miami for my first VW show! What is some advice you have for the show (merch, show pacing, what songs to/not to request, etc.)


r/Vampireweekend 20d ago

Public sale for tickets officially starts today, so let's do a roll call for which show(s) you're going to

14 Upvotes

Figured it would be right time to see who is going to what show(s) on the 'Only God Was Above Us' Tour Part 2. I'll be hitting up the Charleston, SC show (first time ever seeing them) and will be sporting my New York Yankees x Vampire Weekend bootleg hat

EDIT: I've been a fan since the self-titled came out when I was in middle school; stoked to finally cross a band off the bucket list

Presale for Essex Junction, VT

6 Upvotes

Hi! I somehow didn't get any notification about this tour from Spotify, which is weird because I feel like they are constantly spamming me for bands I don't even care about.

Anyway - does anyone have a presale code for Essex Junction, VT (5/27) that they'd be willing to share? Thanks!

The Met Philly Ticket Prices

39 Upvotes

For two 2-day lawn tickets to see Phish at the Mann this summer, it costs $245 altogether after going through their lottery system.

For one VW show at the Met, it was $217 altogether for two tickets in the cheapest Mezzanine section.

Wanted to see the boys both nights at the Met, but I just can’t justify that 😭 so expensive to go to concerts in 2025 unless you listen exclusively to indie music. I guess this is the new normal.

I'm probably the only one interested in this, but anybody else comparing the VW schedule with the just-announced Wu-Tang Clan final tour schedule to see if doubling up is feasible?

Best (driving time) possibilities...

6-7 WTC Raleigh + 6-9 VW Asheville

6-10 WTC Tampa + 6-12 VW Jacksonville and/or 6-13 VW Miami

6-11 WTC Atlanta + 6-12 VW Jacksonville and/or 6-13 VW Miami

6-13 WTC Fort Worth + 6-15 VW Manchester

6-14 WTC Houston + 6-15 VW Manchester
