Don't you wanna get out of Cape Cod tonight? Take a look through a musical kaleidoscope with Vampire Weekend's self-titled 2008 debut, ranked among the best debut albums of all time! This vibey record kickstarted and pioneered a new subgenre. From a Columbia semi-secret society to the halls of a middle school and everywhere in between, learn about the creation of this scrapped screenplay-turned-album! We'll share our EXTENSIVE knowledge of vampires, Mansard Roofs, cod fishing, and the Oxford Comma. The Mixtaper is teaching us all about Parks & Rec's Rashida Jones and her boyfriend, both avid Vampire Weekend fans. And Connor will surprise us all with his judgment and a dark secret that may or may not be true... Listen along if you're not A-Punk!
