Seemingly out of nowhere, Vampire Weekend arrived on the music scene in 2007, recorded their debut, and by the start of 2008 had released their self-titled album. That record seemed to have a flare attached to it, as it quickly made indie rock fans take notice, debuting at No. 17 on the charts! The band had met in college and decided to form a band. One step after another, the dream became reality.

Their debut is chock-full of a mixture of styles, most notably the merging of chamber pop traditions with Afro-pop-centric grooves. This winning combination hit people where they needed to be hit. From their first single, “Mansard Roof,” through songs like “Oxford Comma” and “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” the unique approach of bandleader Ezra Koenig was on full display.

They were able to cast aside their Ivy League roots and establish indie cred that would sell plenty of records along the way and lead to an ongoing career spanning several albums. This is where it all started, so dive in as we feature their ever-popular debut on Thursday, Oct. 1, as an Essential listen. Only on The Summit FM! - Dave Swanson

Look what came home! 👀 For more than TWO DECADES, this 6-foot Summit FM sign hung on the side of the Saalfield Square building in South Akron.

And now… somehow… it’s back in our possession! 📻❤️

So the question is: What in the world do we do with it?!

Do we…

🛠️ Refurbish it with our new logo and find it a new home?
🏛️ Preserve it exactly as it is and donate it to the Akron History Center or Summit County Historical Society?
💰 Put it on Antiques Roadshow and discover it’s worth $47?
🚀 Launch it into space so aliens can finally discover Northeast Ohio’s best radio station?
🔥 Strap it to the roof of the Summit FM HHR like some sort of public-radio Bat-Signal?

Or… something else entirely?

This old sign has seen a LOT of Summit FM history. Now we need to figure out what its next chapter should be.

What would YOU do with it? Wrong answers are strongly encouraged. 😂
