Beirut

A young American's Balkan brass band

Zach Condon, the young man behind Beirut, after dropping out of college (on the first day, he walked straight to the office and asked for his money back) stayed with a cousin for a while in Amsterdam in a building where "a weird Serbian artist guy" blasted Balkan brass music from his top-floor apartment, driving his neighbors batty -- and providing the spark for what would become Beirut's "Gulag Orkestrar." (Released on Ba Da Bing!)

The upstairs neighbor "was miserable and he was really homesick and he was playing this really homesick music,"
The rest is history

Truly Awesome!

It's been long since I've stumbled upon something worth watching and posting. Émilie Simon is a multidisciplinary artist; writing, composing and singing in all of her albums. Maybe her name does not ring a bell but the fact that she composed the original soundtrack for Luc Jacquet's documentary film La Marche de l'empereur (March of the Penguins) for which she got the award Best Original Soundtrack at the Césars in 2006, certainly will. What is more, she even toured with Placebo, doing the first part of their tour from 29th of September 2006 until the 4th December 2006. I will take pleasure in this new discovery of mine for days to come :) Hope you will, too.
