Richard Ayoade directed the Vampire Weekend video Oxford Comma
Obviously, boat shoe band Vampire Weekend hired Richard Ayoade to direct their video in a transparent attempt to light up the COMEDY BLOGOSPHERE the same way they lit up the TWEE MUSIC BLOGOSPHERE a few months ago. This, after their first attempt -- dressing like Chevy Chase circa 1980 -- failed.
Well this one worked. Because only jerks and the ignorant don't like Richard Ayoade.

I love that song.
The video is like Wes Anderson (the titles give it away):

It's like they read my comments during their initial emergence in which I called them "Wes Anderson Movie: The Band."
Ugh. No thanks, fellas.
Another Ayoade music video, this one with Matt Berry (Sanch from Darkplace), for the Super Furry Animals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BANdftxuqlM
Also a better song, imo.
I love this.

Oh yeah bk, Super Furry Animals are much better.
It's like Wes Anderson, the band, and also really reminds me of the weird counter-culture fantasy scenes in Goddard's Rolling Stones movie Sympathy for the Devil. I like it.
"Because only jerks and the ignorant don't like Richard Ayoade."
You can add 'The British' to that list. Although I guess that we could be included in both other classes.
