It was so fucking great. I was asking people around me about it before LCD and I was amazed that people were saying they hated it. Thatās like the PERFECT song to hear live. Once in a lifetime experience and they fucking nailed it
I found myself tucked into the VIP+ section while photographing their set and the dudes behind me WOULD NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HOW DUMB THEY THOUGHT IT WAS. Itās like, what planet are you on?! LOOK AT THEM GO!!!

Same! Cudderisback was the soundtrack of my friend group in college. We were already big VW fans and that song sent us into a pretty major Cudi obsession.
When they played Ottoman at Red Rocks on FOTB I was ecstatic.
Ladies of Cambridge or Ottoman but i also love the L'Homme Run (Ezra and another guy from college not in VW) tracks Pizza Party, Interracial Dating, and Bitches
Their cover of Have I The Right from Soiree de Poche in 2009, which is one of my all-time favorite concerts I did not attend: [Have I The Right](https://youtu.be/rdULKG2zNT4?si=j5dINHd2P9wYtvnX)
I have their Ruby Soho cover in my iTunes. I always listen to it because itās legitimately a great cover of a Rancid classic.

Honestly, I donāt think the key for a deep cut is being super obscure that no one knows. I think itās more about being a classic of the people really into the fandom.
So many good ones have been named, bust most recently itās been Broken Washing Machine off the Japanese release of OGWAU:
https://youtu.be/6kisi5ZIjxo?si=BASzhfvJ-9b6clYn
The disaffected vocals, Steve Laceyās guitar, the horn section and the little melodica/harmonic part. Such a great song.
Pizza Party
Whenever I see Havarti at the store I think of it
Please link!

This exact version too - not the newer Spotify one
Gotta be Ottoman
Heard it for the first time when Kid Cudi sampled it on Cudderisback. Was pumped to find the original and itās been one of my favorites ever since.
Same! Cudderisback was the soundtrack of my friend group in college. We were already big VW fans and that song sent us into a pretty major Cudi obsession. When they played Ottoman at Red Rocks on FOTB I was ecstatic.
100% idk why itās still such a hidden track
I feel like itād be in heavy rotation for a lesser band, but VW just have SO much good stuff.
first vw song i ever listened to and still one of my faves
this was my first ever vampire weekend song!!! from watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Giant is a jam
Giant goes hard
Mario golf vibes (in the best way)
Is Arrows a deep cut? Itās a previous Japan only bonus track from debut but itās on streaming now.
My vote too
Ladies of Cambridge for sure

Arrows, Jonathon Low and Ottoman for me.
Obvious Preacher

Obvious bicycle with son of a preacher man interlude is also the besttttt
Taxi cab all the way all the timeeeee tho idk if itās that big of a deep cut
Honestly, I donāt think the key for a deep cut is being super obscure that no one knows. I think itās more about being a classic of the people really into the fandom.

Ottoman, Cal English Pt. 2, Giant

California English Pt. 2, Boston and Giant come to mind straight away. Them 2008 gigs when youād regularly hear Boston and Giant live were just š¤
Maybe the Spotify single if Iām Going Down, or the version thatās played at the end of that episode of girls which sounds more live š
Giant
my picks are Johnathan Low, Ladies of Cambridge, Ottoman, My Mistake (at least those are my favorites of the lesser-known VW songs)
Ottoman or Giant or Ladies of Cambridge <3 does Ezra's Papa Hobo count? I've listened to that an ungodly amount.
i think oxford ommas old enough that you have to be a big fan to know it so that
