booms528 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Was really hoping the album title would be a sticker on the front, oh well... after several listens, I love the album too much to care anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Listened to it. Really liked it. Ordered from Amoeba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake7722 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Looks like Amoeba only has the black version now. If anyone's looking for the white vinyl version, there are some at Shop Radio Cast: http://www.shopradiocast.com/products/Vampire-Weekend-%252d-Modern-Vampires-of-the-City-LP.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openupyourskull Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm just going to wait it out and hope that they get the white version in either at Newbury Comics or Bull Moose. Surely it can't be that limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake7722 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Just got my copy in the mail (white vinyl). Really nice quality. Vinyl is 180g and comes with a download code and poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I ordered from Amoeba (white vinyl), hopefully they actually ship a white vinyl. For those that have bought from there before, do they ship so it arrives on the 14th like Amazon or just ship on the 14th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hipsterasfolk Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Going to give this a listen in a bit, probably will wait until the rest of the indie releases I want hit the shelves before picking up \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Got my copy on white in today. About to open and spin now. edit: Really enjoying this album. It feels like a natural and successful transition from Contra. I don't see it necessarily winning over anyone that isn't already a fan of Vampire Weekend but after the first spin, it's very solid. Definitely worth a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I know XL is sold out and I'm not positive if it's available elsewhere online but I have an extra sealed copy on white for cost + shipping. If anyone needs one, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sat through those ridiculously awful chipmunk voices on "Ya Hey" 10 times? I don't believe that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a white one today from my local shop. Put it through the VPI machine but didn't listen to it yet. I didn't notice anything wrong with the b-side though.

dmplly Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 You sat through those ridiculously awful chipmunk voices on "Ya Hey" 10 times? I don't believe that's possible. Probably about 20 - 25 times now.. But yeah, it's not the best thing i've ever heard but a pretty good song overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 After the third or fourth time through, you're singing along too loud to be annoyed by the "chipmunk voices" on Ya Hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Picked up a copy at Amoeba in SF today - they had at least 25 copies of the white vinyl in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered from amoeba thinking the white was limited, 3 local record stores have the white vinyl while I'm going to be waiting a few more days for my shipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I ordered from amoeba thinking the white was limited, 3 local record stores have the white vinyl while I'm going to be waiting a few more days for my shipment It was limited to the XL Recordings pre-order and "indie record stores". Thats what the XL site said, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew that earlier, it's ok though, I wasn't going to get to it this week anyway, just annoying knowing I could have it already instead of waiting another 3-4 days for shipment from California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openupyourskull Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Went to Newbury Comics in hopes of finding a white one but they only had black. Probably will just turn to eBay or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
