Vampire Weekend Stripped-Down on MTV

Another thing to be excited with Vampire Weekend, beside their second CD Contra being released next week, is their acoustic set on MTV Unplugged. Ok, so I liked VW because of the electronic influence in their music and it really excites me how they would pull off their songs in stripped-down versions. Just plain EXCITING!
