3. I think they have a fairly prosaic sound. And the lead vocalist sounds whiny.
I just don't like their sound.

11. Their first album was the soundtrack to my last drunken winter
I think they come up with some catchy stuff, but I've learned that many of the elements of their music are borrowed from African pop music. Someone here described them as throwing Elvis Costello and Afro-pop in a blender and mixing it up. I still like their first album, though, and I'm contemplating buying their new one.

2. OK
Taking your word for it, and guessing it's some sort of TV-related thing.

Unfortunately, I now seem to be stuck with the thought of a Vampire version of Weekend at Bernies going through my head... like maybe a vampire that comes back to life, and these vampire kids have to keep the other vampires from finding out...

5. It's a band. A very boring band featured on SNL tonight.
Their SECOND appearance. :(

10. Their first album is better
The new songs kind of smooth out their quirks too much, but I'm thinking of buying the first one.
