Most of my music Monday posts are about songs that I love passionately, but Vampire Weekend are, I find, hard to feel passionate about. Their music is nice, fine, pleasant even, but I don't think those are adjectives any musician would fancy having attached to their work. I do like the video for this song, Oxford Comma, which is directed by Richard Ayoade of The I.T Crowd fame, but what I really feel passionately about is the Oxford comma itself...
Having spent today languishing in bed with a migraine I was feeling utterly bereft of inspiration for today's post. And then, lo! An email appeared (with the cartoon below attached) that, were I and the sender not avowed athiests, I would attribute to divine intervention. Suddenly the question of what to write about was solved. Because actually, Vampire Weekend, I give a fuck about the Oxford comma.
I've done my best to find out where this comes from so I can credit the artist, but no luck. Whoever it is, I think I might love and hate them in equal measure. Oxford comma: good. Lower case proper nouns: bad.
