Upon the release of their sophomore record (which is fantastic), Vampire Weekend gave a performance for Vincent Moon's Les Soirées de poche series of one-take recordings, which is sort of a tangential direction of some of his other one-take films. I'm not shy about saying that I regard what Vincent is doing as brilliant, in an almost obvious, "why didn't anyone else think of this? " kind of way; and this further demonstrates his beyond-secure position as a beacon, a stalwart, and a watermark of fantastic taste in the independent music world. As music videos themselves witness their slow demise into obscurity, Vincent Moon is stealing their last breaths and giving us something more, something infinitely improved, and something that digs at that moist spot of our hearts where we love to be dug. This is one of those Parisian loft concerts that makes you (or me, at least) want move to Europe immediately. So very amazing. Viewing this should a requirement for breathing.
