Vampire Weekend Cover Fleetwood Mac For Australian Radio Still loving albums from the '80s, these ones. Ezra and his college classmates make nice work of the Tango In The Night radio staple during this recent session for JJJ. It's pretty reverent, albeit a little leaner and indie-pop hoppier, although the spacey slip through the middle eight is a new trick for both the song and the band. Have a listen at prettymuchamazing.

I was hoping for "Little Lies", but Ezra still does a great job of holding those notes.

That was pretty good. I'm not a member of the Vampire Weekend bandwagon, but regardless I'm a big Fleetwood Mac fan and I thought they did that song justice.

Lol, the only time I ever hear about Vampire Weekend is when they're covering something. XD

FORGET about Buckingham for the time being... if you're a musician pay attention to Mick and John's thing until you get how brilliant they are. Mick had an incredible nose for talent...
