Despite my recent review suggesting that Vampire Weekend's new album, Contra, wasn't all I'd hoped it would be, I'm happy to discover that it's the best selling album in the country. It's also one of (apparently) only 12 independent records to reach #1 on the Billboard 200 since 1991. I just think it's great that independent music is able to pierce the mainstream. And who gives a shit if I don't particularly like Contra; this is a victory for independent music, opening doors for the many deserving bands behind them.
