The band Beirut released the Flying Club Cup on October 9th, and La Blogothèque has filmed unique, one take, on the spot, mostly public 'music videos' of each track. 1- Nantes 2- Sunday Smile 3- Guyamas Sonora 4- La Banlieue 5- Cliquot 6- The Penalty 7- La Fete 8- In the Mausoleum 9- Un Dernier Verre 10- Cherbourg 11- St. Apollonia 12- The Flying Club Cup (Some of the writing below the belows the videos is pretty effusive, but the music and videos are still impressive.) Here are a couple more traditional Beirut music videos. And here is one I like of Josè González by the same people.

A modern day O Henry story

It was the early 90s and the World Wildlife Federation was trying to save the rhino. They offered up Saiga horn as an alternative to rhino horns for use in Chinese apothecary shops, thinking that the millions-strong population of Saiga on the steppes of Central Asia would buffer the demand for rhinos. The result is one of the most devastating population crashes for a large mammal species in modern times. There is now a fear that the Saiga will become extinct in the next few years.

French horns, wee?

This (windows media) movie taken from a French variety show is pretty cool/kooky/amazing. It's a guy wearing a suit covered in small horns, all honking different keys, and he can play the classics by jumping around and hiting the right notes.
