EP. 312 — Ezra Koenig

Musician and Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig feels cautiously optimistic about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.

Ezra sits down with Conan to discuss producing Vampire Weekend’s first album while teaching full time, looking to artists like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen for inspiration, how everything changed in the era between Napster and Spotify, and which of his albums contain the most psychoactive compounds. Later, Conan and his team pitch alternate historical realities.
