Vampire Weekend - Cover of the Year??

by ~haya93

Now i'm not usually one for reposting something that was just posted on another blog, but i'm going to make myself an exception.

Last week i was listening to triplej and Vampire Weekend did a cover of the Fleetwood Mac track 'Everywhere'. I was driving at the time so i couldn't record it and be blog famous.

But someone did record it, and sent it to PMA.

Have a listen (RECOMMENDED LISTENING):

To download the track i'm gonna force you over to PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA

Splendour In My Ass - More Rumours

So i'm getting a bit excited for Splendour in the Grass this year. In The Mix posted the other day that the festival will be held once again in Belongil Fields in Byron Bay, despite the rumours of it moving.

The dates are Saturday August 2nd and Sunday August 3rd.

Now as mentioned before the lineup for Splendour often looks somewhat similar in parts to what goes for the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, the full lineup for it has now been released featuring:

Coldplay The Verve The Sex Pistols The Jesus and Mary Chain Panic At The Disco Justice Band Of Horses The Wombats New Young Pony Club The Prodigy 311 The Fratellis Maximum The Hormone Zebra Head Beat Union Fatboy Slim Alicia Keys Paul Weller Devo Junkie XL Spiritualized The Lost Prophets

Bedouin Soundclash Mutemath MGMT Jack’s Mannequin Cajuan Dance Party Crystal Castles The Hooisers Friendly Fires Xavier Rudd South Central OneRepublic The Metros Late Of The Pier New Found Glory We Smoke Fags Trivium The Subways The Ting Tings Old Man River Polysics Silversun Pickups Skindred Against Me! Vampire Weekend

That lineup would go alright i guess.

Fatboy Slim - Don't Let the Man (Justice Remix)
Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance
MGMT - Electric Feel
