New Column: One Forward, Two Back

If you'd asked me last week which new album I expected to thrill me more, the new Vampire Weekend (above) or the new Boxer Rebellion, I know which one I would have picked. And I would have been dead wrong.

This week's column examines both of those albums, and finds more to love about Vampire Weekend's odd, splendid Modern Vampires of the City than about the Boxer Rebellion's stuck-in-place Promises. Head on over to the main site to read all about it, and come back here to leave a comment.
