Brown blazer with the vintage trackpants. Sheesh. Good to know Ezra still gets fits off like no other indie icon.
Jacob Farrell 👌🏽
Why did I find myself smiling while watching this...Suddenly I'm 15 again, queuing for my first Vampire Weekend concert, and living and breathing MVOTC. Loved the interview! Can't wait for the album, it's been 84 years..
its only been 5 and a half stop with the drama, be glad that at least they are putting out a new album, unlike the strokes
Happy 99th Birthday
@@L30N4tER chill lol
Amit Maharjan relax brother lol but no doubt about the strokes
Ur 99 years old and have peppa as ur profile pic......I respect the drip
it's so weird seeing Ezra speak in front of a camera.. I'm so used to only hearing his voice and not seeing his face while he's speaking. shoutout to the crisis crew
shouts back
i'm just gonna sit here and act like he isn't wearing track pants with that coat
ahaha he still looks good though
I laughed out loud
Are they kappa haha?! Was thinkin the same thing
@@Nickstrtube Ralph Lauren RLPC67's (He's wearing them in the New York, New Dorp video :) )
Hehe is that really what is puzzling you? I think these songs are incredible. I love them."Harmony Hall an big blue and the others just listen to the quality and creativity in their music. I don't care if he wears polka dots with Stripes.
I'll take that 23 song version please and thank you.
Alicia Calloway I’d rather have the 18 song album as they intended it. And then release the others as b-sides. Do one a month and then we get new VW for an additional 5 months. 😎
I'd keep the 18 then turn the other 5 into better, well thought out songs on the next album
it’s settled. i am in love with this man
So Ezra is an actual vampire: hasnt aged at all!
Precious cinnamon roll ezra
"it has been six years"
"...yeah *takes a sip*"
take a shot every time ezra blinks multiple times in a row
This guy is actually a good interviewer thank god
Nice to see a new vampire weekend interview after a long time. Excited for the new album.
first vampire weekend came out when I was a senior in high school... I associate these guys with freedom and coming of age 😎 but also with reconciling with the trials of adulthood... and the fact that I’m Jewish only makes it easier to dub VW as the grand indie soundtrack to my entire life... when he talking about marking time in five years chunks, I started having a bit of an existential crisis
did they tell him they were gonna film waist up? and then decided to include his pants?
this is a really good interview, refreshingly relevant questions and he let ezra talk and go on tangents
Ezra is an asshole lol
@@srv1959 wait, how?
Erin Wozniak lmao what?
Definitely, great observation and interview
World's best band
his smile my heart😭❤️
Two new singles from Vampire Weekend is just what I needed to kick off the New Year. Still waiting on that full album, tho.
I love this interview and the interviewer, he’s so kind and warm.
6:58 Yay! Rostam!
Was never into Contra, but VW & MVOTC are my two favorite albums of all time. I am so excited that I might burst.
Diran 000 I love Contra it’s a solid album like all VW albums.
he still look awsome
I love Vampire Weekend so so much
5:45 lmao I love how he really has to pause & digest the question when realizing he should've asked Beyoncé to collaborate
MY MANG EZRA
I wouldn't've finished college if it weren't for Vampire Weekend. No doubt about it.
On my way to school this popped up on the radio and I was genuinely surprised. I listened to the new tracks this morning, just skimming through the radio and this comes up, strange. I've been hearing Vampire Weekend since I was 9 back in 2008. My brother use to download the tracks on Lime Wire and I use to listen to it on there. Bought Modern Vampires of The City back in 2013 when I was entering 8th grade. Vampire Weekend has always been part of my life, I hop this album can help define part of my musical college life.
Keep kicking it Ezra!
How I’ve missed you
I LOVE YOU EZRA
I love this guys interview style, and Ezra Koenig is just great at interviews. Hard to say why all of it works so well but it does
I am so grateful for that new age alt/ end stuff.
I'm so excited for the new album
So smart and adorable
Can’t wait to see them in Argentina
Put on my balaclava and made some horchata before listening to this and going full psycho with happiness
Ralph Lauren RLPC67 track pants + 40's-style street urchin coat and he's still mad hot.
STEVE LACY😍😍😍😍
GIVE US THE 23 SONGS EZRA FEED UR CHILDREN
I LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
so beyond ready
PRONOUNCE HIS LAST NAME RIGHT DON'T DO MY MAN LIKE THAT
:) - i totally believe you - and truth be told - the way I said it is the only way i've ever heard it pronounced. I'm not saying that is right - it very well could be wrong. it's a weird thing - because this th-cam.com/video/FmSPIqkPuT4/w-d-xo.html & also this th-cam.com/video/ZUK5D-UbbPQ/w-d-xo.html - either way - no disrespect was intended - and hopefully the rest of the interview was evidence of that - @harmsonair
@@AndrewHarmsOnAir no worries dude! i dig the interview nonetheless. you can hear the correct pronunciation in the intro to Time Crisis about 24 seconds in: timecrisis-withezrakoenig.tumblr.com/post/180765746233/episode-82-jokerman
how do you pronounce it?
@megan oh, I was wrong lol
thanks though
Is he really wearing a button down shirt/coat with sweatpants?
I love You so much
HES SO CUTE
The interviewer is great!
I can't believe this man is a father now
That coat is awesome tbh.
Can we get a number crunch Seinfeld
I could see him really wanting to describe himself as a silverback millennial
MUSICAL GENIUS
did he not think his pants were showing lmao
Next single frog on the bass. 4 min bass track.
Love VampWknd
If it started at 23 songs I'm expecting those 5 bsides
He’s so cute like I can’t
Isn't his last name pronounced like "caining"?
this is clearly the right way th-cam.com/video/xmnWP1fCoVQ/w-d-xo.html
I had no idea he had a lisp
Frog On The Bass drum!
is this the same exact interview as the one on all songs considered?
he can do the ed sheeran thing and just get beyonce to sing a duet as an extra release
MARRY ME EZRA HAHAHAHA
ezra's voice reminded me of michael cera's voice. and i love them equally.
Now I can't unhear it.
Definitely not the same voice.
Business up top, eshay down below
im soooo high and I can't stop staring at his nose.
Yeah creative I saw a glimpse of the grammys It looked like fashion show...? That we've seen before. I'm sorry I don't get it.
Omg struggle so much w approaching the ppl
Time. Who did you actually give it to
lmao couldn’t even give him a whole 100%
can he adopt me
This is so random but I'd love to see a Vampire Weekend x John Mayer collab
I love his nose dimple
Ezra is so intelligent I never hear him talk, idk why I always for some reason seems british... Idk I know he's American but idk why I just think first look he's british XD
The ABacross he’s Romanian and Hungarian descent
@@foragingfleur I thought he was a jew
It bothers me that he doesn’t have earlobes
I can’t unsee this now lol
He pronounced Koenig wrong!!!!!
5:55 missed opportunity? right, as if beyonce doesn't actually use 5+ writers for every song she's made. love queen b, but she's not a lyricist, nor do i think she'd fit in the vampire weekend spectrum, sonically speaking.
musically speaking - certainly not untrue - meant more as just a fun point.
@@AndrewHarmsOnAir yes, most likely
She's literally an awarded song writer but ok
BUDABUDABOO
They should have named their new release: Creaky And Stuffy Coffins
For the record, i guessed the title in my tweet on 1/17 twitter.com/tonsmoarcowbell/status/1086029435923582976
5:57 It was at that moment, Ezra knew, he fucked up.
didnt realize how owen wilson-esque his nose is
0/10. Not Enough Big Toblerones
...I mean new alt/ e.d.m. stuff.... .
Sport coat and jogging pants? This fuckin' guy...
shoulda been Flight Of The Bats lol
Waiting for the day an interviewer gets the last name right :/
No
This audio is terrible
uhhhh ezra is hot
Who are the 2 flatfoots who downvoted this ?
Fall of the Babylonians is actually a better title than Father of the Bride. FOTB is a terrible album title. I do like the new singles.
cactaceous I believe it’s a nod to Quincy Jones
@@Goodtime_Charley no not at all
Fall of the Babylonians is too long, it doesn't roll off the tongue. And we haven't heard the album so we don't know what a good name for it is
@@edengallagher1044 Yeah Fall of the Babylonians is really cheesy. I was partial to Frank Ocean's Titty Bar but it wasn't meant to be
someone needs to tell him how bad that album art is
what a lame band
Love VampWknd
