On 15 December, Vampire Weekend fans will have a new occasion to feel happy, as their beloved band will officially release Cousins, the first single from the second album, Contra (officially meaning physical release – on 7 inch, to be more specific). Probably you know the song already, and if you don't, then listen to it as soon as you have the chance. I've heard some folks (who try to be too serious for their own good) saying that the lyrics are stupid, but personally I don't find them that way... and even if they were stupid, who would actually care, when the song has such an annoyingly wonderful instrumental? Those crazy drums and that twisted guitar kick you right in the head with the arrogance Arctic Monkeys used to have once, and they make you want to shake your head/butt/arms/whatever until you can't feel your body anymore and you fall to the ground, praying your friends to organize you a decent funeral. Do you think that I make no sense? Well, try to have Cousins on repeat, and then we'll talk.
