Today's blog is 'The Hydrox Blog' because it's a cheap imitation of the original, since there isn't time for a real blog. But for the sake of including some music in here, let's talk briefly about the new Beirut album, The Flying Club Cup.
I like this album. It has even more instruments on it than Gulag Orkestar, and I think it's a more consistent and overall better album. However, none of the songs really grab me the way that "Postcards From Italy" and "Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)" do. I mean, there are some marvelous songs on this album - tracks #2 and #4 stand out in my mind already - but I can still hear the driving trumpet from "Postcards From Italy" in my head all the time. Well, I've only listened to The Flying Club Cup twice, though I suspect there will be more listens in the near future.
In other news:
My new car has a CD player. And now that I have one, I don't know how I ever survived without it.
