I was recently introduced to the band Beirut and their two videos directed by Israeli film-maker Alma Har’el. Both the music and the visuals make a nice change of pace.

I love Beirut! Try seaching for "beirut on the take-away show" on youtube. It is an amazing live take from the streets of.. paris, I think. Well, no matter where it is, it is beautiful and very nice to see a band who really knows how to play live music.
Nice, I'm a big fan of Beirut. I'm talking framed posters, both albums on vinyl, and it even got into playing the ukulele. If you like those two tracks (Postcards From Italy and Elephant Gun) you should also check out The Penalty and Transatlantique, which both also pominently feature the ukulele.
I only just started following your blog a week or two ago, but I've liked what I've seen. One of the things that attracted me to Beirut was the photograph on the cover of Gulag Orkestar, and so it's funny that I'm reading about Beirut now on a photography blog.
"If only all blogs were as life-affirming and tender-hearted as that of gallerist James Danziger. Whether his focus falls on the work of an individual artist or a particular theme, The Year in Pictures is compulsive reading."
James Danziger has been involved in photography for a long time.
This blog is a record of photographs (and a few other things) that have captured his attention.

I didn`t know this band. I loved the videos and the music altogether and separately, too!
don't like this band. irrelevant sentimental bland junk
I recently saw Beirut at a show in Vancouver. It was phenomenal and incredible. Their music leaves me breathless and emotional.
