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