I'm Back!

So sorry I haven't barked at ya in a while, reader, things have been hectic at eatdogeat central with the upcoming relocation to Korea. To make up for it, here are some relevant music videos to enjoy:

Fever Ray: 'Triangle Walks'

Burned a copy of this album for my trip to Chicago last week and this was the only song that skipped...real bummer. Dark, enchanting album by Fever Ray.

Beirut: 'The Concubine'

Good song, good cameo in this one.

Here We Go Magic: 'Fangela'

One of my favorite new bands of the year, we helped break them a few months ago. (Just kidding, the only thing that breaks around here is my heart every time I see the website hit counter).

Busdriver: 'Me-Time'

This song is political, and has puppets!

Stale Biscuit: Beirut

This may be old, but I couldn't go a week without mentioning one of my favorite bands, Beirut, who specialize in turn of the (19th) century nostalgic gypsy folk music. It started as one man (boy at the time) Zach Condon recording all the instruments in his bedroom for the stellar debut album 'Gulag Orchestar.' He then recruited a band and released the EP 'Lon Gisland,' followed by French folk sounding album 'The Flying Club Cup.' All just breathtakingly awesome releases. Finally, back in February, we get another EP release which includes his normal heavy horn sound on 'March of the Zapotec,' and some electronic music released under Realpeople 'Holland' which harkens back to his early bedroom recording days pre-Beirut.  There are some definite gems on here, so check it out people.

'The Concubine'

Also, I have included a few videos from La Blogotheque's 'Take Away Show,' because this show is just awesome.

Beirut - 'Nantes'


Beirut - 'Cliquot' (because everybody loves when a man sings 'what melody will see him in my arms again')
See all these videos here.
