'White Sky' by Vampire Weekend on Q TV 

WHOA. He can pull off those "ooh's" live too!??! I AM IMPRESSED.

he does the high notes so well my god

I was so nervous when I saw they were performing this because of the weird high notes in the chorus but I'm pretty sure they were the best notes in the whole song

Such a gratefully different voice. I seriously love this band

ezra's skin is flawless

I absolutely love the way they play it live these days with the interacting arpeggios on both gutars, bass and keys.

it makes me so sad that rostam left his playing in this is awesome

you can't not love them. they're so good.

This crew knows how to wrap lyrics around bouncy sounds. I'm hopping around and writing. I'm hopping around.

I love how he says "modern art"

The conversation at the beginning looks like it was an episode of The Office

I like that this one's a little slower. It's a lot more leisurely than the album version. They're always so good!

ugh i just love their music

Starts at 1:55

They're ever so sweet, the way they talk.

This band is just too cool for school.

I like the meowing part

White Sky is my absolute favorite!!!!!3

I really like Vampire Weekend

He hits every note so perfectly

i love ezra's eyes and the new album is worth buying it def.!

that tissue on the drum

Best thing that happened to music in a long time.

just by listening to ezra's voice just makes me want to explode

Thank you Q on CBC. i love this shit.

hahaha yea my Ezra crush is still not over.... damn

Ezra has the most adorable smile

I finally found it!!! My journey is done!!!

"this might be the worldwide radio debut, what do you guys think?" *silence* "yeah!"

Someone told me VW reminds them of Paul Simon and I didn’t really get it but this song proves she’s right. This could be a track on “Graceland.”

So damn good

They might be spoilt rich white kids and their upbringing was a million miles from what mine was like, but when it comes to music these guys are truly fucking fantastic!

Damn he hits those high notes well.

Haha i love the awkward conversation between the presenter and the band :P

LOVE THEM!!!

Just saw them on Saturday. It was B-E-A-utiful! Love these guys very very much. :)

gotta love ezra's voice!

they are so beautiful. You will get lost in them...

'Crazy Love Vol II' by Paul Simon for the 21st's

only a good drummer can pull nice rhythms out of nothing but a floor tom. great band

Oooooo ahhhhhh oooooo oooooooo ooo ahhhhhh , LOVE IT LOVE THEM :')

I agree w/ you I can't stop listening to them. Maybe now that the new Arcade Fire is out I can lay off.

@dublinrupepupkin i think the reason why they are doing this song sort of laid back is because it is an acoustic version, so the song isn't as loud. Additionally, there isn't a crowd, except for the host, so they don't have a group of people that they can get energy from and work off of.

Back in the Fall of 2009.

I love the way he says 'White Sky' i dont know why.. something about that man (Ezra) makes me slightly crazy

this song is sweet. cousins is great too.

that presenter is awesome i love his awkwardness

What a cute song :)

So awk at the beginning omg... So good though love vw

Really quite good indeed.

ezra is looking at that guy like... "Are you retarted"

awesome..

really needed a snare for this one.

dat bass sound phat

mmmmmmmmmm yeah listen to those piezo pickups!

@pureinhart completely. When I first heard this song I actually had to consider that perhaps it was Paul Simon

i am already..im addicted hihihi :)

FUCKING GOOD LIVE !

@pureinhart Yes! There's an undeniable "Graceland" vibe going on here.

they're amazing. and ezra is beautiful. and i kind of have a crush on chris tomson, too. but they're a fantastic band, end of story. :)

graceland

Qtv has the coolest guests.

Is there a way I can cut the the intro and the end and download this studio version?

yummical

My celebrity crush

every time I watch vampire weekend live, I get worried that the singing will sound weird because of the bare instrumentation, but everything just sounds so good.

@cheer4giants He puts emphasis on things a little differently than a lot of people. He stresses the "White" more than the "Sky", where as most people would stress the last word...I think. I like it too;)

The "EH. EH. EH."'s are missing ;-;

is anyone hearing paul simon under african skies?

Why do they have headphones on?

I love how there's duct tape on the drum to subdue its rowdiness.

The comment on most old VW performances & interviews are damn funny

The French television joke was useless. Just like each intervention from the radio host in this video.

Nice

@siouxzy No, listen to some of his other interviews (or the actual interview with VW, not them playing a song).

This version is better than the recording!

EZRA IS SOOOO CHARMING

When was this recorded?

It doesn't matter, it was just something I happened to notice while watching the video.

nice!

Ezra is a piece of work ;)

Feels so unusual... peter gabriel too.

@3SarahBee It's a Gibson Monarch

I really miss when Vampire Weekend had this formation. they were very different

i feel so bad for downloading this for free... its so worth the money!

What's with the French television ?

he made it incredibly awkward at points. but i have admittedly seen him with different artists since i commented on this video and he's not that bad.

OMG CT's face.... 5:25 hahaha

@2d122 I want to say Prestige or even Contra.... but they could just be SB's It's hard to tell :P

My best friend looks and talks like him..

They must be big fans of Paul Simon, i approve both

1.25 speed fixes it

They need to inject some ENERGY and LIFE into this version!!! FFS lads spice it up, youre not 50 yet!

haha "this is the Canadian radio debut" LOL

does ezra have an accent? he's sooo cute

@micomarshmallo yes, listen carefully

@1nashtyfan Wow really? Both of them?

@2d122 haha, nice.... kind of an obscure model :P

Did some one let rip at 0:51

starts at 1:55
