Vampire Weekend stopped by The Daily Show to perform their recent song, “Mary Boone,” and to chat with host Michael Kosta. During the artsy performance, frontman Ezra Koenig sat on a stool in front of the other musicians, who were accompanied by a choir as footage of New York City played behind them.

Vampire Weekend’s recordings have frequently been characterized by a kind of tidiness, a clean fusion of Ezra Koenig’s pop songwriting smarts and the group’s instrumental economy. The band’s new album Only God Was Above Us offers something different, pivoting away from the brighter, jammier aspects of 2019’s Father of the Bride with a decided bent toward experimentation and surprising, often harsh, new textures. The results showcase a band that, nearly two decades in, is willing to issue a challenge to its fans and produce a soundtrack...

Vampire Weekend are back with “Mary Boone,” the latest single from their forthcoming album Only God Was Above Us.
“Mary Boone” features angelic choirs and lush orchestrations, a drum loop sampled from Soul II Soul’s “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me),” and kaleidoscopic synths that drop in at each wordless chorus. The song’s title refers to the art dealer and collector who became well-known in the New York City art scene during the 1980s.
Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig narrates a scene in which a new inhabitant of the city seeks work under Mary Boone, and later expands the subject to include themes of love lost and change. The song’s official visualizer features the rapper Despot as he drives from New Jersey to New York City through the Lincoln Tunnel. Watch the visual below.

It's a case of too bad, so sad for Alec Baldwin ... according to the art gallery owner he's suing for selling him a "fake" painting.

This lightweight, sketchy overview of the life and art of Manuel Ocampo -- part of the latest documentary series at Laemmle's Grand 4-plex in Los Angeles -- succeeds in profiling the controversial artist. But it offers a fairly dry analysis of his vibrant, challenging art and only begins to explore identity and commercialism in a "multiculturalist era."
In "Manuel Ocampo: God Is My Co-pilot," UCLA film school alum Phillip Rodriguez takes a standard approach, weaving together interviews with a little background and numerous, annoyingly frenetic shots of Ocampo's art. Alas, artists are often the least able to illuminate the meaning of their own work, which can be doubly frustrating when everyone else is likewise vague.
Believing that the artist should critique the establishment, Ocampo's visions borrow from folk and religious art, propaganda and advertising. A Filipino born in Quezon City, Ocampo moved with his family to Seattle in his teens and started faking religious icons for American dealers.
Often shocking, with graphic violent and sexual imagery that mixes swastikas and crucifixes, the artist's prodigious output often satirizes the surrealism of Christian iconography and the "shabby, dirty, banal" art world, while he explores the strange, contradictory dreams of colonized people.
In a swift rise to fame reminiscent of 1980s New York sensation Jean-Michael Basquiat, Ocampo worked as a cook at McDonald's in Los Angeles before his challenging work became highly sought after in the 1990s by collectors like Dennis Hopper.
The married artist is shown at his home in Seville, Spain. Fellow artist Julian Schnabel, gallerist Mary Boone and others participate. Producer Tom Patchett is the founder of Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica.
