Fresh off of the release of their new album Only God Was Above Us, Vampire Weekend made a surprise appearance at a Goose show on Wednesday night. To start their second set at the Port Chester, New York, venue The Capitol Theatre, the jam band brought out the indie vets to rip through “Gen-X Cops” and a 30-minute (!) version of “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.” Stream the entire set below.
“We’re gonna have some special guests come up here,” Goose member Peter Anspach said as the band entered the second hour of their monstrous four-hour-long set. Once Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio, and Chris Thomson took the stage, the two bands launched into a jammy, though relatively faithful rendition of the Only God Was Above Us cut “Gen-x Cops.” Vampire Weekend fan-favorite “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” followed, morphing into a half-hour-long jam of grooves and solos.

Here is a collection of horror films that are great, but might still let you sort-of-sleep at night...
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
It’s fair to say that not everyone gets along with horror films. For every horror aficionado who revels in being scared witless or seeing a hapless victim have their insides rehomed, there are plenty who would rather chew gravel than spend two hours in the company of their worst fears and nightmares. Somewhere in between is a bizarre middle ground (which is where I sit) of those intrigued by the thought of horror films but in practice spend half the film ingesting their own fingernails or testing the structural integrity of the arm rests.
If you’re not a huge fan of horror but still fancy dipping your toe in the water, here are 13 horror films perfect for watching with the lights on.

A few words about battling through life with a stammer, and what help is out there...
It's Geeks Vs Loneliness time, the space on the site where we chew over things that may be affecting you, or people you know. We know that not everything we write in this pieces is of use to everyone, but we do hope that somewhere along the line, there's something we cover that's of help.
This week, we're handing over to Chris Thomson. He wants to have a natter about stammering. Over to the brilliant Chris...
Apparently I haven’t always had a stammer. I’m told it first started when I was about seven or eight years old, but that’s of little importance to me. As far as I’m concerned it’s always been there, and I know it’s never going away.
According to the British Stammering Association,...

Vampire Weekend is one of those bands that doesn't fit neatly in a box - they're not rock, precisely. They're not punk, and they're certainly not pop. In fact, it's a miracle they found a record label willing to invest in them at all.
But after the online buzz grew so loud that even tone-def record producers couldn't ignore it, they got a record deal and even landed the musical guest slot on Saturday Night Live - easily the most reliably good part of the show.
Last week they set gay hearts a flutter with their new video, "Giving Up the Gun" featuring Joe Jonas playing tennis with Jake Gyllenhaal in short-shorts. This week, they're doing it again as Rostam Batmanglij, the singer/keyboardist/songwriter sits down with Out.com to talk about being the gay guy in the band.
