Dorm music

I meant to hate Vampire Weekend, but I don’t.
I hate seeing them on the cover of Spin magazine looking like they just finished a Land’s End photoshoot.
I hate the idea of them, those Ivy League pansies, but I don’t hate their music.
Considering that I actually attend a rich little liberal arts college, it seems kind of hypocritical to want to hate them, but I can’t help it. I don’t think it’s a rivalry thing at all– I never meant to go anywhere but where I am– I think maybe it’s left over from Kansas.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter, because that’s some pretty good pop.

And since I’m so ok with Vampire Weekend and their social status and their educational status, I guess it’s ok for me to make music too. Not that these are analogous situations, because I know nothing about music or Afro-pop, and I only wear polo shirts once a week.

But it’s the New Age of music (as always) and it’s coinciding with the New Age of my life (whatever that means), so let me present Three Good Men. The band name is supposed to be two jokes, one about gender dysphoria and one about Flannery O’Connor. I’m glad I explained it so it could still be funny. The album is (will be) called Famous Austin Goes to Town, because it is a children’s tape at heart.
