Listen
Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend teamed up with Alana Haim on Beats1
The pair discussed their favourite moments of 2015.

Ezra Koenig’s Beats1 show Time Crisis played host to a special guest this week, in the form of HAIM’s Alana.
The Vampire Weekend frontman and certified Ultimate Indie Dreamboat discussed various things with Alana Haim, including their mutual love of Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’. As well as discussing the Grammy nominations for best song (which are Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Wiz Khalifa, Ed Sheeran, and Little Big Town, btw), Alana Haim shared her favourite songs of the year, which were by Brandon Flowers, Grimes and Kanye West.
Listen back to the show here. For some reason, amongst all the reminiscing, Ezra managed to forget that his highlight of 2015 was the time DIY gave him some noodles. It’s okay mate, these things happen.
