The keyboardist/guitarist for Vampire Weekend is gay?

We never woulda known!

Rostam Batmanglij recently talked with OUT magazine, and informed the gay mag that he hoped Vampire Weekend's song, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, would have been a gay anthem!

Awww.

"With that song I was having fun, but at the same time it was honest — those lyrics are meaningful to me, they come from my heart," explained Rostam.

He continued: "I was disappointed when it didn’t become a gay anthem, but, you know, it’s not too late."

Lyrics like, "I want to dress you in the morning in last night's clothes, I want to be your boyfriend but I don't want anyone to know," are catchy enough, don't U agree?

      Yeah, no one cares about the keybaordist. Look at how Nick Rhodes in Duran Duran always got overlooked, but was the main creative force behind the band.

      This song is by his side project Discovery. NOT vampire weekend.



    3. 3

      This song is by Discovery, which is his side project. It is NOT by Vampire Weekend.



    4. 4

      Hey Perez, get your bands right… That song is from his Discovery side project.

      "We never woulda known! "……yes, not all gay men have to look or act like you and your friends do..u know.

      lol did everyone see perez on HBO's BIG LOVE? He was selling birds in mexico, to bad he got shot by the greens!

      Oh goodness.. Let me guess now that you know he's gay.. You're gonna be all up on his nuts and posting about him all the time.

      You were ripping Vampire Weekend a new asshole a few days ago because they were "ungrateful." Now you're jumping on their bandwagon just because a member is gay? Fuck you.

      why is it that Hilton can call people 'phaggot' and only get a black eye and when, for instance, a guy like Mel Gibson drunkenly calls someone 'sugar tits' four years ago it is constantly being thrown back at him?

      You are such a hypocite. A few days ago you were making fun of Vampire Weekend for being modest. They dont make music to make money. And if you read the Rolling Stone article AGES ago, you would know he was gay. But now that you know, your wetting yourself with glee and being nice.

      Perhaps he should offer it to Johnny Weir the figure skater for his next routine.

      Perez, no wonder you can't score a boyfriend. You are boring and anal, once you start with a subject you just got to beat it dead. Like they say back home: Dale clavo a la maceta!!! Que pendejada la tuya carajo!!!!!

      sick of queers

      You say you would be so great on American Idol and how you're so into music, but you can't even report news correctly. The song is by Discovery, not Vampire Weekend. Check your facts asswipe.



    15. 15

      Silly Pumpkinhead Perez.



    16. 16

      and I thought that the drummer of VW is gay. I guess I was wrong.

      God Perez. Could you at least pretend that you do something besides sit on your fat ass all day? This is not news. Rolling Stone talked about this awhile ago. And the song you're referring to is for his side project called Discovery and this song was released in 2009….last year you fucking idiot.
