Beirut is the perfect band for those craving something completely different. Fusing elements of Balkan folk, French chanson, and American indie, principle songwriter and singer Zach Condon fills out classically structured pop songs with charming ukulele, flugelhorn, and accordion. Condon's exotic takes on music are strongly influenced by the beauty and sounds of places he's traveled to, evoking memories, warmth, longing, and inevitably, joy. His first album 'Gulag Orkestar' was made single-handedly and to critical acclaim, followed by the massively successful Flying Club Cup, and most recently the double EP 'March of the Zapotec/Holland'. The band's live sets are equally as breathtaking to watch as they are to listen to, and it's the Fusion stage that has the pleasure of hosting them.

Lyrics:
If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

lyrics:

Well, you will not give me answers
And I can't afford your time
So I'm waiting in this parking lot
To pay the piper's fine

You cannot sell what isn't yours
I tried to buy what's free
If all these towns are all the same
You won't remember me

But it's lonely on the outside, lonely in the wind
All I ever ask of you, stay and share my sin

I am eloquently lying 
With the words I rearrange
You hailed a yellow taxi cab
And paid the bill in change

In the field beside the freeway
You can almost see the stars
I wake to feel you breathing
And remember where we are

It's lonely on the outside, lonely in the wind
All I ever ask of you,  stay and share my sin

Well there's no one at the table now 
No cards left in my sleeve
In this cold and empty parking lot 
I wait too long to leave

I am hardly worth remembering
The road will wear you down
Even so I'd like to think
You won't forget this town

And I didn't come here to waste your time
Didn't home here to change your mind
Didn't come here to make you stay
Never thought things would work that way

But it's lonely on the outside, lonely in the wind
All I ever ask of you, stay and share my sin

But it's lonely on the outside, a chill is in the air
Lonely on the outside, I met you standing there

I asked for more, there wasn't time 
I knew you poor, but I held you blind
You answered "sure" but held that line
I am poor but you are blind

You and I don't get away
I know we don't win
Tell me what I have to say
And what happens then

I know we don't get away
I know I don't win
Tell me what I have to say
Can I start again

Tell me what I have to say
Tell me what I have to say

With their recent release "Parallel Universe Blues," LA/SF group Papercuts turned-in their most accomplished album to date, with main Papercut Jason Quever's excellent dream-pop songwriting ideally complemented by the considerable production chops we've come to know and love from his work with Beach House, Luna, Cass McCombs and many others. Riding an updated girl group shuffle, new single "Kathleen Says" is a gorgeous slice of updated Spectorian pop that adds a psychedelic edge to the perfect pop melodies. Sitting somewhere between The Rain Parade and The Jesus & Mary Chain, it's a great reminder of just how strong and deep "Parallel Universe Blues" is.

Also included here is a dreamy version of Jackson C. Frank's classic "Blues Run The Game." It's a very Papercuts take on the song, lovely melodies and harmonies enlivening Frank's sparse original. Top marks. An acoustic version of new tune "Comb In Your Hair" rounds out the EP in fine fashion, circling back to some of the band's folkier early material while pointing forward to more new sonic pathways for future Papercuts records.

Hice este cover la semana pasada, agradeciendo de nuevo a The Magnetic Fields por hacer canciones sencillas y bonitas. Por estos días, hasta a mí me dan ganas de bailar. La imagen que aparece la hice con @marianapinerosj, quien tuvo la paciencia de explicarme y quitar, finalmente, la bomba nuclear del centro.
