Producer David Fridmann—who has worked with a myriad of artists including The Flaming Lips, Weezer, and Café Tacuba—might be turning into the dragon slayer (or geico, rather): after producing the respective sophomore releases for hollow indie buzz bands Crap Your Pants, um, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Tapes ‘n Tapes, both albums have been met with extensive negative reviews and the bands' stature among the hipsterati has diminished considerably. However, if Schoolhouse Rock taught us anyting, it's that 3 is a magic number. So, how ‘bout it Mr. Fridmann: would you like to produce Vampire Weekend's second album?
Speaking of which…
