Vampire Weekend Respond To Tom DeLonge Incidident

[atticus18244fss]

In the recent profile of the band in The New Yorker, there was a part in which Tom DeLonge, the lead singer of Blink-182, tried to pressure you into joining a web venture. What was that like for you guys?

In retrospect, we should have kicked the journalist out at that point. They went out of their way to portray that as a really awkward, intense scene — that really wasn’t how it was at all. The truth is that we really just wanted to interview him and he asked, in exchange, if he could pitch us on this website, and I said sure. I don’t think it’s that weird that he wanted to show it to us. I was kind of annoyed because here’s a guy who went out of his way to do something nice for us, and he got a little bit screwed over in the end because the article made it look like he was some weird, pushy entrepreneur and it wasn’t like that. It sounded very reasonable and I thought he was a really nice guy.

Hmm. That article did make the situation seem awkward. Glad that wasn't the case.
Also, OP, you spelled "incident" as "incidident" in the title. Might wanna fix that.
Sorry. Grammar OCD.

[HometownHero]

See. Now people can shut the fuck up

Lol.

[Metal Now]

That's nice of them to correct what they saw a discrepancy in the article, I'd got the impression that it had been awkward.

[JuneJuly]

I love that they make Tom look all crazy, and then everyone in Vampire Weekend looks sad about it...

[Sundawgrecords]

Reading the article, it seemed (at least to me) the awkwardness was manifested from the writer rather than the situation.

if we're bringing culture into this, can we talk about how your country has the worst healthcare system in the world? or how you just want to be america but, like the fat girl in high school, can never seem to be as popular as that really hot girl who youve been friends with forever?
or how you fucking club seals

didnt mean in terms of actual service.
meant in terms of every canuck prick hypochondriac that creates issues within the system such as long wait lists, long lines, and how on an individual, personal level, the service is like their equivalent of the DMV. only this could actually kill you. sorry for the lack of clarity

It's on bitch.

1) You are so fucking stupid it's ridiculous.
2) I live 5 minutes away from the American border. I get the best of both worlds. Special Flavors of Mountain Dew and Cheap Chicken McNuggets from America and not having to put up with the bullshit of living in America.
3) Canada is the shit. 99% of bands come to Canada during a tour. Usually only Toronto. <3 hours away from me.
4) I don't have to put up with American political bullshit and how retarded the people in your country are.
5) And finally:

Healthcare Ranking
30 Canada
37 United States of America (http://allcountries.org/health/usa_health_care_2008_nyt.html)

Checkmate dipshit. You have such a skewed view of Canada. Canada is just a better version of America. That is colder. And by Canada I just mean the area surrounding Toronto. I'm gonna go back into my igloo with my Macbook Pro now. Peace
