Discovering New Favorites
Got a big shipment of new CD’s from Amazon yesterday. (Yes, I am a dinosaur who still buys CDs.) Since I was gone all day yesterday, today is my first chance to listen in on them. I put in “Lon Gisland” by Beirut and it has played through about five times already and I don’t want to change it. It’s that good. The song the prompted me to buy it is “Elephant Gun”, although I’ve discovered a new favorite in “Scenic World”.
Link to the video for “Elephant Gun” on youtube!
Beirut’s sound has a very vintage French/European feel to it. It is a good blend of many styles. If you enjoy The Real Tuesday Weld, I think Beirut would constitute a treat for you.
I’m a sucker for horn music. Got any suggestions?

I'm definitely in the ranks of the amateur photographer. Capturing the world through image is one of my favorite things to do. I love to explore this planet with my amazing fiance. Recently I got turned on to TtV photography, and it is my new favorite technique. Some of my other hobbies include making jewelry, hitting yard sales and thrift shops, antiquing, driving around aimlessly, stargazing, ogling antique and vintage cars, and reading.
