The other day, while making a playlist on seeqpod.com, I found songs I had never heard of before from one of my all-time favorite bands, Beirut. If you don't already know about Beirut, I suggest you listen to them now. I guarantee, you'll definitely raise your music credibility points, if that were ever real. Of course, I'm being sarcastic and you can listen to them if you want. Everyone has their own taste in music.
But seriously, I really love this band, and it was exciting to discover these B-sides. So as is my purpose of blogging and what not, I'm sharing it with you. Give a listen to the music player above. Most of the songs aren't on any of their albums, but I added a few album favorites on the bottom just for the heck of it. Some of the songs may not work right now, but they should later; I already played them all earlier. If all fails, you'll have to just look up the songs on your own on seeqpod.com.
Beirut, with their sounds of trumpets, accordions, ukeleles, tamborines, drums, and many other instruments influenced from Europe, you'll feel like your in a far off distant country with mountains and oceans surrounding you; you'll feel light-hearted
and free. Well, at least that's how I feel when I listen to them.Since we are on the subject of Beirut, I can't forget to mention their wonderful website of videos of songs from their latest album, "The Flying Club Cup." These videos are derivations of the so very popular Take Away Shows of La Blogotheque. With it's raw and in the moment shooting of videos out in the street, you'll hear and see music the way it's supposed to be heard and seen. Well, it'd be more real if you were in the street listening to the music yourself, but since we can't do that, these videos are the next best thing. Check out the Beirut music videos at www.flyingclubcup.com.

thanks for visited to my blog!^^
I understand only a little English.
But this is someplace interesting!
Fortunately, I understand a bit more English than the user above. And I've liked the English you have put out so far in this little blog. It's eclectic, which is entertaining. Perhaps you can keep me up on some more recent music through this blog. Do your research. Give me some knowledge.
I know I'm a bit late on the letter, but it will be done. You can have faith in that. Ideas keep on boiling in my head. Hope the heat keeps on coming.
