Radio.com Essentials: Vampire Weekend Plays The Game Of LIFE

What better way to explore the nature of life than by playing the game of LIFE? And who better to put on the hot seat about the philosophies of life than Vampire Weekend, on the occasion of the release of their third album Modern Vampires of the City?

Much too early one morning in New York City, Radio.com asked Vampire Weekend to play a round of LIFE while they answered questions of the great philosophical thinkers. They revealed their thoughts on the biological imperative that causes parenthood, God and the unmoved mover, the nature of good and evil in man and why they're so into making album covers out of found art.

Watch as they navigate through choosing a college and career, adopting pets and embracing Marxism in a quick game of LIFE.

Catch the band playing KROQ's Weenie Roast Saturday May 18 at noon PT. If you can't make it to L.A. you can watch the webcast from your couch.
