Our Issue #30 cover subjects, Vampire Weekend, pretty much took over late-night TV the last few months. Friday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was the latest show to open its studio doors for the fearless indie-pop foursome. The indie stars pulled out a Contra deep cut this time, with the ska-like tune "Holiday." The track is about a member of Ezra Koenig's family who gave up meat after the U.S. invaded Iraq.

P.S. - Somebody needs to break the news to drummer Chris Tomson that the New Jersey Nets are really terrible. Or maybe it's ironic.... Watch the clip, via Prefix.
