i would do zach condon.



It's true, folks. Zach Condon is the sexiest trumpet-ukulele-accordion player of all time. Lead singer of the band "Beirut", Zach first tried the ukulele out when he realized that his wrist injury would prevent him from reaching around the neck of a guitar (that's right, straight off of Wikipedia.org. Embrace it. Wikipedia is your friend.) But seriously, this guy's voice will redefine orgasm for you. If I were a guy, I'd go gay for this man. No but seriously. Zach dropped out of high school at 16, adding to the "leather jacket-i-still-live-in-my-mom's-basement-but-can-still-bring-sexy-back" sexyness. Furthering his cool, he studied Portuguese and photography when he returned to college.

This guy's lyrics and song titles revolve, for the most part, around some kind of foreign country or language sorta thing, which would make sense since he traveled so much as a teenager (Nantes being in France, Italy being...Italy, Gulag Orkestar not being in English, etc).
With a couple of shows coming up in New York, an album coming out this February of 09, and a more recent album ("Gulag Orkestar") already released, I suggest you get on that shit.
If this hasn't convinced you that this guy is musical and sexi..al brilliance, I'm sure a couple of downloads will. Ch-ch-ch-check it.

Beirut- Elephant Gun
Beirut- Nantes
Beirut- Postcards from Italy
Beirut- The Gulag Orkestar
Beirut- After the Curtain

hope you guys agree, cause i'm not quite down for losing faith in the human race.
have a lovely night.
always,
the dizmaisquids/get that tricycle team.
