The difference between us and Vampire Weekend is that we’re not parroting the genre, going in and mining the territory that Paul Simon was in such a boring and uncreative way and just basically ripping him off. We were doing it in a way that wasn’t reducing it to … parody really. I mean when Paul Simon was doing it it was a discovery for him and we were trying to just get in sync with that same sense of musical exploration. I feel like with a band like Vampire Weekend is just seems so calculated, going through the same narrative styles and trying really hard to imitate. And it just sounds like an imitation. I don’t even liken what we did to what they’re doing. We had the same touchstone which was Graceland, which is a great starting point. That’s what Paul Simon’s great thing was is that he opened alot of people up to South African music and Brazil and all over and he was creative about it and you have to be creative in the way that you interpret and explore music. And I don’t think that band is a very creative band I guess.
