Vampire Weekend interview - Ezra Koenig (part 2)

[@Sophz235]

I adore the way he articulates himself and uses particular phrases to get his point across. Although I want to go into science, he really ignites my enthusiasm for music and analysing lyrics; Vampire Weekend really bring something to the music industry that it's been lacking for a long time.

[@ryanabram4940]

I agree with you, and they're great, but to say that the music industry's been lacking is just ignorant, and you should probably open your ears up to what's been going on for the past 25 years. There's been no dip in intellectual depth or lyricism in music, you just haven't been presented with it.

[@Sophz235]

Ryan Abram I know of many bands who have great depth to their lyrics, I just think Vampire Weekend do it in a way that is completely unique :)

[@eucherenkov]

He's an English Literature major, I believe, so it's not a surprise that he's quite articulate and well-spoken.

[@tbabiiie]

OMG. Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. I love this man, I love that he's aware of how pretentious he SEEMS. Oh, Ezra. My boo.

[@MsGillybean12]

He's so articulate and classy. I love him.

[@xxMidnightBonesxx]

i love this interviewer he's awesome

[@poniesandguitars]

Speaking of name fetishes, I love the name Ezra; it has so many colors in it.

[@AlphaverseCosplay]

Same here. Its actually one of my favourite names. And I've heard people say they don't like it!

[@jnbalmer448]

Its a jew name

[@poniesandguitars]

jewish names are cool

[@cristopheradan750]

For some reason if I have a girl or boy the name would Ezra it's such a beautiful name 😊 is that weird ?😜

[@ezrahhankins5664]

Cristopher Adan My mom named me Ezrah and I'm a girl, she just added an 'h' to try and make it more feminine I guess.

[@GaBz2AuStRaLiA7]

I've listened to all the songs and albums over 30 times in 2 weeks...obsessed

[@Buckets41369]

I love interviews when the interviewer has a good knowledge of music.

[@dillybarr1]

Wow he has such a great voice I love the way he says the word "band"

[@zasddsaf]

[@Polveria]

I've listened to the whole album WAY more than thirty times. I fucking love it. Best band ever.

[@inesbastosmusic]

[@thesteve271]

I cannot stop listening to Hannah Hunt. The whole record's great, but thats the one I play several times over and over.

[@BalladOfCranium]

He just has the best accent ever.

[@MsGillybean12]

The way he says "band"

[@JoeCoughlin]

I think that Hannah Hunt may be their best song to date.

[@biancahutner6444]

yeah i actually really like hannah hunt even though i wasn' t too psyched about it at first, and ive lsitened to the album like 15 times already

[@14newt]

ive listened to hannah hunt over 30 times so thats a good sign

[@jr0ckz89]

i really like the way u drink ur water mr ezra koenig

[@mg112200]

My youtube-addled brain always makes me associate Hannah Hunt with Hannah Hart from My Drunk Kitchen.

[@elizabethcuevas3491]

Let me just say I love this man so much him and Andrew and don't get me wrong I def love the rest of the band because like he said each person in a band contributes and each me ever has a part you know it wouldn't be amazing with just one every link has a purpose ahh but anyways in love with Hannah hunt wish Ezra made a song about me but my name doesn't have a ring to it ahh okay I'm done I love love love VW and MGMT peace to all

[@helliop]

I think my name fetish developed because of VW when I kept looking up the meanings to the names they used in their songs.

[@sareh3z137933]

If my name inspire someone to write such a poem as what Ezra wrote for Hannah Hunt, specially the part it says:” A man of faith said hidden eyes could see what I was thinking, I just smiled and told him that was only true of Hannah …” I would need nothing else in my life. Maybe I`d hide myself in a cottage out of the city, reading that poem and cry all the time.

[@MsGillybean12]

oH MY gOD

[@emmacow82]

the name fetish doesn't work out 4 me because his sister and i have the same name
