What Parents Need to Know
About Vampire Weekend
Parents need to know that the CD from a band that's getting all kinds of buzz includes several instances of "f--k" and "s--t," and a bit of product placement. Otherwise, the group's sound is clean, fresh, and world-music-influenced inclusive.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the unusual instrumentation and variety of influences on the CD. Peruvian flutes, African guitar music, and reggae beats are all a part of the group's indie-rock sound. With lyrics this evocative and poetic, do you think the band really needed to use four-letter words to make a point, whatever it is?
