[playlist] Hump Day Power Play (11-7-2012)

Now That's What I Call 2008!

2008 was a fantastic year in music. So fantastic, in fact, that it inspired me to start blogging about the great acts and albums of that time. After years of anonymous music writing on Wikipedia (fighting with editors on which bands were truly "notable" and Wiki-eligible), I decided to take my own shot at promoting my favorite acts, and thus Three Colours was born. Feeling a hint of nostalgia this week, I put together an HDPP with some of my favorite songs from '08. Hard to believe that was nearly 5 years ago!

Vampire Weekend - New Song: "White Sky"

New Song by Vampire Weekend - "White Sky"

On Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Vampire Weekend played a brand-spanking-new song that'll end up on their next album. I think the string section's hippie ponchos were really dumb, but the song sounds pretty good. Check it out.
