In the fall of 2005, Ezra Koenig was wondering about the origins of preppiness. What was khaki and where had it come from He had spent the previous summer traveling through India and touring across America as a member of The Dirty Projectors. That same summer, Rostam Batmanglij interned at the Oxford English Dictionary and managed to obtain the key to the harpsichord room at Columbia University. He studied film scoring downtown and rented an apartment in Morningside Heights. At Columbia, Ezra majored in English and Rostam majored in Music. As their time at school was coming to an end, they formed Vampire Weekend in the spring of 2006 with drummer Christopher Tomson and bassist Chris Baio.
