Beirut, the pet project of 22 year old Zach Condon, has taken over my life. Again. For the third time. It's got to be the dusty Balkan gypsy horns and the lilting, percussive strumming of the mandolin. It transports me to another age; sometimes it's a sleepy smoky village in the south of France, other times it's a brasserie in Brooklyn. It's transcendence at its least and transformance at it...

Mogstars: 9 out of 10Beirut’s second full-length album sees Zach Condon heading from the Balkan countryside that _Gulag Orkestar_ paid homage to into the carefree café culture of France. Harking back to the exuberant start of the twentieth century, Condon latches on to the optimism of bonneted beaus and fearless flyers of yesteryear, whilst consistently emulating the France that the impressioni

DOOM!I was in Chicago this weekend for Pitchfork’s annual festival. It was a great time, with a lot more of a local and independent feel than any festival I’ve ever been to before. I showed up a little late on Friday, and only caught Built To Spill’s set. It was the last write the night [...]

Looks like you are going to be without my charming company for a week. I'm heading off to Sicily on Friday, and this will probably be my last chance to post before then. I hope you don't have to much fun while I'm absent. Don't worry about me, the drinking age there is 16, so there will be much frivolity and merrymaking(admittredly, it is a school trip, so I'll be limited to three pints a night...

It helps that we're at such similar places at our lives at the moment, and it's nice to finally air out some strange and weird a...
