I have to be up at 7
SIKE this is zack from beirut & the band(dont moi-même...) were just raiding tumblr for posts & stuffs from fans and testing their loyalty. this has slightly offended me, but its okay darling. run right up & hug me next time we are in.. new york is it?
AnonymousZACH (so weird that you misspelled your name) I’m so sorry you know that I love you anyway right? Can’t wait to run into your arms next time I see you. LOVE YOU BB
if you had to pick, what's your least favorite beirut song? mine's probably le moribond. I could never really get into that song...
Anonymousto be fair, Le Moribond is a cover! And I can understand why it might be your least favorite, it’s kind of a long song and sounds a little repetitive, but I love when Zach sings in french, it’s an aphrodisiac ;) Mine would have to be Venice… it’s a little boring, kind of goes nowhere, but I do love his vocals in it… so… I guess if I had to choose, it’d be that.
I just read your Sweetlife review (a million years late, I know) but I cracked up at "It was so adorable I nearly pooped myself". My sister in law was there and she also complained to me that Nick's detachment was annoying, but I guess he's always been like that?
AnonymousNick has always been detached onstage, from what I can see. Very laidback, very ~too cool for school~ type rock attitude. That being said, he was also more energetic onstage back the day and not so lethargic… lately it just seemed like he looked more and more like he’d rather be sitting around and playing video games than being onstage performing.
have you noticed that his lips are nonexistent and when he talks, he talks through the middle of his mouth while somehow keeping the corners of his moth together? What a strange, odd little man.
what genre would you say beirut is? in my iTunes i have them listed as alternative, folk, pop, and indie...

When your grandchildren ask you where you were when Osama died you will have the coolest answer ever.
Anonymousim gonna be like, I could tell you but LET ME SHOW YOU
Damn do I miss Hurley and Desmond and Hurley and Desmond in the jungle with Desmond naked. Good times.
wait zachs married? what. this can't be happening.
Anonymousah, yes he is. He’s married to the wonderful, enigmatic Kristianna Smith. They’ve been together forever. THEY ARE SO CUTE THOUGH. Watch The Postcards From Italy video - that’s her!
if Julian or Zach asked you out, what would you say? Like I know the obvious answer would be yes, but really?
Anonymousare they single in this scenario!? THEN HELL YES. BUT since they’re married - to Zach I’d say “no, but I hear Paul is unmarried?” and to Julian I’d say “let me get Fabs number?”

14 Day Beirut meme//Day 10: A song you’d kill to see live
Un Dernier Verre (Pour La Route) - Beirut
This song is my most played Beirut track on iTunes, and it’s easy to see why. It encompasses everything I love about Beirut - the gentle, mellow intro, the beautiful abstract lyrics, and the wonderful swell of brass at the end. At the first Beirut show I attended, I could hear them sound checking the piano with this song, and I nearly burst with joy at the idea of getting to hear them play it live, Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Here’s hoping!
PS - I would have also said Transatlantique but I’ve heard live recordings of that song, so I always have that, at least :/
