And the world has contra

So this morning the impressively well guarded contra by vampire weekend was made available to the online community. Whether it was on their own terms (the first few copies were a webrip from their own myspace) or whether the myspace stream was forced due to to a leak which became more widely available around 6 hours after the rips, this isn't really important but what is the we finally can hear what the indie world has been waiting incredibly patiently for. Listen here. The only questionable track is california english otherwise the album seems like what makes them great.

In other news Sisqo has reentered the public consciousness, read my blog on him from a little while ago here. Apparently Samatha Mumba is actually single though so good times.

Lil Wayne Leak- Da Da Da

Lil Wayne- DaDaDa

A few weeks before Lil Wayne's self proclaimed "rock influenced" album The Rebirth drops the first track from it leaks and yeah it does start with a guitar riff so I guess there you go that's all the evidence you need right?!

I was looking forward to this album as much as anyone until I witnessed little weezy try to play guitar at the camden roundhouse and ending up looking like your 10 year old cousin trying to play silent night after christmas lunch and everyone being too polite to tell him to stop embarassing himself.

Hope he gets some lessons or something cos it would be kind of cool... I suppose.
