Campus is my favorite Vampire Weekend song, so you know I saw this Campus (Original Version) that former bandmate and songwriter.

I don't love it.

Undoubtedly, it is because I have listened to Campus infinite amounts of times. Given my love of that song, I was surprised by the story of its creation. I also like this world where I missed MySpace rips of this version from 2009 or thereabouts.

Why share this now though? Because Rostam has released another cover of a Vampire Weekend song, Young Lion from their best album Modern Vampire of the City. I like this one more than the "original" version of Campus. The story of this one is also a good one.

Also, is it a cover if he wrote/co-wrote the songs? What's the ruling on that?
