vampire weekend

The talking chaps dip into world music, get frightened & then bludgeon themselves with Motorhead. All in a days work.

Theme tune is “I Can Hew” by Mawkin, from their album The Ties That Bind.

The boys talk about the first time they chillwaved and fall in love with wine again. We get very earnest and disagree about music. John's Playlist is available on the comments on the Insta /// LIST /// Albert Boxer, Edelzwicker 2011 // Zind Humbrecht, Alsace Gewurztraminer 2008// Nicolas Reau, Anjou blanc, "Victoire" 2015// 

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Inside The Archives! We spoke with BIG BEAT host Jason Thomas on a wide range of topics including why he doesn't listen to many albums anymore, what he considers new music, how much autonomy he has with the show, his favorite music of 2017, and why he likes to play music you don't normally hear on XRT, but still has that XRT sound. We also discuss the transformation of 00's bands like The Killers, Muse, Arcade Fire, and St. Vincent and how they've carved out their own place in the musical canon. Plus, we break down the latest music festival announcements (hello again Jack White), the ever entertaining Gallagher brother feud and the prospects of an Oasis reunion, as well as the glorious return of David Byrne.
