if you like beirut you should check out Sunset Rubdown

( have nothing to do with each other apart from the fact that they're doing some gigs together )

Gulag Orkestar is teh roxorz!!!!!eleven!!!!one!! Yea, I just got it. Pure amazing.

I'm seeing them next month. :)

just downloaded Gulag Orkstar a few days ago.. awesome stuff.

The new EP, called "Lon Gisland" is out!! One free track on this webpage

I dislike them. They seem to rip-off Neutral Milk Hotel, minus the amazing lyrics.. I would probably like them if there was a more-competent lyricist. But anybody can mimic an eastern-European style and spoon-feed it to scenesters. Haha.

Wow did you copy/paste that from pitchfork?

No, do they dislike him, too?

It sounds like their kind of response and I think that may be where I heard that comment before. I have heard it somewhere. I don't really hear the compairison to NMH though.
