Vampire Weekend “Giving Up The Gun” (LOL Boys Bootleg Remix)
13 Jan
“Giving Up The Gun” is probably my least favorite Vampire Weekend song, and it’s spot on Contra had me on the fence for days. Fortunately, LOL Boys and Hotbizzies hooked us up with this steaming tropicana remix of the track, rendering it nearly unrecognizable.
In other Vampire Weekend news, Contra has a really great chance at hitting No. 1 on the US Albums chart next week. It’s expected to sell between 60,000 and 75,000 scratch that, 110,000 to 120,000 copies (!!), which should edge out all competition, according to HITS Daily Double. The competition, of course, is Susan Boyle, whose debut album has been selling like hotcakes (those sell well, I presume?) since its release in late November. How lame would it be if that 60 year old bag lady (who sold over 6 million albums in a month) were to steal their moment?
The article gives us another interesting possibility: next week’s only big release is Spoon’s Transference. I wonder what the odds are for two consecutive indietastic chart-toppers. Spoon’s last release, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga debuted at No. 10 in 2007, with 46k in sales. But that was before “The Underdog” soundtracked popular TV shows and movies and your trips to the mall.

the album came out two days ago and there is already a remix of a song?
sometimes I hate the internet. Giving Up the Gun is my favouirte track on Contra.
Yea, was a remix really necessary?
I’d say Giving Up the Gun is easily the highlight of the album!
this new vampire weekend cd is awesome and it’d be great for it to go number 1. i’m even more excited about the spoon album though. i must say i love everything spoon has ever done, and i’ve already downloaded the new cd and am obsessed with it. I’ve also pre-ordered it on amazon and am ever so hopeful they’ll finally have a number 1 album and get some of the publicity they so deserve.
Hey yeah Giving up the Gun was one of the best songs on the album. I dont understand why that song would put you on the fence. There is no fence with this album
Yesterday, when I said Contra might hit No. 1 with 60-75k sales, I was wrong, they’re looking at 110-120k. http://prettymuchamazing.com/mp3/vampire...

@pmablog I wouldn’t be surprised. All those $4 downloads from Amazon will definitely help it’s numbers.
