Beirut


For this first installment of my little music column, I'd like to begin with a guy who's got a pretty good life story for being only 22.  This is Zach Condon.  He dropped out of high school at the age of 16 to travel across Europe, where he gained an appreciation for balkan gypsy music.




He eventually came back to the states, and started recording under the name Beirut, and released two successful albums.  Oh, and:  when he last played in LA, he sold out a venue 5 nights in a row, netting him more than $100,000.  Makes me feel a little lazy, honestly.



Also, let me know if you guys have any questions.
