Ezra Koenig recommended Liege & Lief by Fairport Convention in Music (curated)

"I played British and Irish folk in an early band I had. We only performed one show and Rostam [Batmanglij, Vampire Weekend multi-instrumentalist] was also in the group, so this was the roots of Vampire Weekend. We covered 'Matty Groves' from this album. It's a traditional song about adultery, anger and sex, and I thought it was cool that they could take ancient-sounding stories and make them relevant. It's an important lesson – if you want to reinvent the wheel, maybe pop music isn't for you. As much as it's about being progressive, it's also rooted in a certain respect for the form. Which might seem paradoxical, but that's what pop music is – it combines very old ideas with very new sounds. Fairport are an example of that, taking very old songs in the English language and reinventing them."

I re-watched this film the other day, and I forgot how much I loved it. I won't compare it to the book, since Anne Rice was responsible for the script and helped with production.
The cast in this was strong, and did alright with the characters. I actually liked pre-couch-jumping Tom Cruise in it, though I will not mind when Lestat is taken over by someone else for the newly announced Vampire Chronicles/Mayfair Witches AMC project. The accents are kind of whack, but you can easily ignore that part.

The DVD I have shows a little pre-movie interview with some of the actors, the director, and Rice herself, and talks about how you're fixin to watch a movie about the most depressing vampires you've ever heard of. That made me laugh.

This is definitely a classic vampire movie.

Great read. Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This book picks up right where book 1 left off. Kane and Moon are hiding out with Brolgio after the LA events. A Great vampire shifter story with conflict. I can't wait to read the next book! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This is one of my favorite movies because it's fun and the story is interesting. There's some pretty funny jokes spread throughout it too and the soundtrack for the movie itself is great. I love that it's an actual vampire movie and every time I watch it, it still feels fresh and new. It's a timeless classic and it's fun to watch.

Finished in just a few hours today, truly devoured the book and simply couldn't put it down. Must order the rest of them as soon as possible and can very highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a little bit of mystery with their vampire drama!

EDIT
After second read I can see plot holes and things that will niggle but I still enjoy it :)
