The name Beirut is German? And somehow I missed the German sung songs. I thought March of the Zapotec/Realpeople Holland was fairly good, though a little disappointing after The Flying Club Cup and the EP I feel is superior to this one, Lon Gisland. I still can't wait until a full length album though.

beirut is also a town

:rolleyes: When I said "The name Beirut is German?" You seem to have missed the sarcasm, being that Beirut is not of the German language. Where in the world did you get German out of all of this? A town? More like a city, try the capital of Lebanon.

A dude recommended this band to me as we were discussing Sigur Ros in passing... But he is also a big fan of Devil Wears Prada. *gag*

Worth it?

Yes, they're nothing like either of those bands, thank god.

some news story. it sounds german. i even asked the foreign exchange students. they thought it was german to (they're from germany).

Then obviously you, the news, and those German exchange students are clueless.

..and If you heard 'Beirut' on the news they were most definitely talking about the city in Lebanon.

But all of this is beside the point, innit.

well obviously i was wrong. but don't blame the german's i only showed them these songs:

A Sunday Smile
Rhineland
Mimizan
