This isn't so much gypsy music as music to make us sedentary indie kids feel like tumbleweeds; to make us feel like we're shaking dust off our jackets, and into our shoes; to make us feel like yeah we're on our way somewhere, you and I - just take my hand.
Hell yes. Beirut couldn't have gone unnoticed with the buzz started in spring, so as new 4AD recruits, they're having their debut album re-issued together with a bonus EP, alternately released on Chouette. Good way to remind us why we liked 'em, and to re-justify that buzz, mmkay? There's not a lot to criticise, dissect, or make references to, that having been done on dozens and dozens blogs. It's just another fine piece of music, kind of a trademark sound already, which those in love with Gulag Orkestar will pick up in a flash, unsure of what the vocals mean to say or where those sounds came from but loving it anyway, while others will keep ranting on Zack Condon's voice and the same choice of instrumentation, and the same 'overhype'. He heh. Is Beirut our new Radiohead? Hell yes.

or you could just pick a random one - they're seriously good and fortunately very productive.
House-Plant is unproffesional. Not just looking for mixes, a show would also be cool, for that all you'd need would be a mic and a computer. A selection of tracks would also be appreciated, if you are interested, send a sendspace/axi link to houseplantradio@hotmail.com, with a list of tracks, labels ect and what you'd like to call your selection i.e doru649's Head Popping, Mind Expanding music Seclection. You have complete free range.
All The Best.
p.s. for some srange reason I can't seem to access cappablack, Axi doesn't generate the link and sendspace gives me an unknow file with what looks like an I.P address as the name (this has not happened before). after such a great review, I'd really like to hear it.
you got me thinking now with the show. i might actually get to do one, although my eg accent isn't that fantastic. will get back at you when/if that happens, or at least send you some kind of selection. gracias again.
try insisting on the axi link for the moment - it works fine here, if you wait like half a minute. in case it still won't work, email me and i'll send you a private link on my private server.
i'm such a tumbleweed, i fell incurably for carousels and now i'm spinning
