Ladies and germs, please enjoy (from 2019) an absolutely staggeringly great live (sort of unplugged) version of Vampire Weekend's sublime "This Life."
In all seriousness, I think this is the best pop song/record of the current century so far. Everything about it makes me tingle, beginning with the jangly "Brown Eyed Girl"--Meets--Graceland acoustic/electric guitars.
And this is sheer poetry.
I should add that I've been grooving on the official/studio single video of that for years......darling our disease
Is the same one as the trees
Unaware that they've been living in a forest
...but I stumbled across the live version above the other day and just totally lost my shit. I mean, don't even get me started on lead singer Ezra Koenig's plaintively breathy vocals.
Your thoughts???

Steve, I don't listen to the radio much these days, and really appreciate your giving attention to new stuff that you hold in high esteem. Thanks again for your great blog.
Good song. I really like the second video version below.
Is this turning into Jew week at PowerPop? Or did the tribe theme just happen.
Whatever you do please don’t upload Adam Sadler.

I love them both pretty much equally.
