Weekend Video




A trip out of New York always seems to make it hard to keep up the pace of new posts. But as it's Friday - time for another Weekend Video. I was recently introduced to the band Beirut and their two videos directed by Israeli film-maker Alma Har’el. I love the use of old home movies in the top video "Postcards from Italy" and the crazy energy of "Elephant Gun" (below), not to mention the band's unusual trumpet and ukulele driven sound.
