Vampire Weekend - Giving Up the Gun (Video)

tableau writer Campbell Bird said he would recommend Contra to "just about anyone," while offering the caveat that Vampire Weekend "may appear to have an unquenchable thirst for all things bizarre and pretentious." This thirst manifests itself quite openly in their new video for "Giving Up the Gun."

It's quintessential Vampire Weekend. It makes you smile, ponder the lyrics, and want to write a blog post in atypically high diction.

Basically, if you like Vampire Weekend, you'll love watching a Jonas Brother, Wu Tang Clan member RZA, Lil' Jon, and a drunk and cocksure Jake Gyllenhaal in this slo-mo, tennis themed video.
