Blog post image preview

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...

I found a kindred spirit today. And it's not often you find one of those. Especially one whose music tastes are just as odd and strange as yours. It's great to finally meet someone whose values and attitudes on life and iTunes library are almost identical to your own. 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...
