A lot of me really wants to hate this band*, but I'm really digging this tiny desk concert.

Accordion! Brass!! Trombone!!! vocals.
...except on the last one. Did you listen that long?
also, the voice is but an instrument.....
Yeah, I don't see the problem.
I listened to the entire video, yes.
How do they get such good sound quality in that setting?
NPR is full of magical people, doc.
i love the tiny desk concerts, but i wish they would also break up the songs into separate videos. i want to use these so much, but i don't trust that the citizenry will be bothered to invest that much time in them.

i'm guessing that's a reference to this, yes? if so, check out their tiny desk concert of that song. that's case in point of why i want to hate them.
Yes, and yes.
Don't know why you would want to hate these guys, they are awesome. (Edward Sharpe on the other hand...)
Beirut also also did The Flying Club Cup in it's entirety as a series of LaBlogtheque clips. Plus, Zach Condon also does a really swell duet with Sharon Van Etten on her last record.
I was just trying to prod hj a bit. I've listened to Beirut since I first encountered them / Zach Condon shortly after moving to Albuquerque. He has a bit of a depressing effect, so now I tend to reserve listening for rainy days.
That duet is pretty great.
Instantly a top five video I've seen here.
