you know that piano bit at the end of le banlieu
zach said “one day” when I asked for Transatlantique repeatedly; I have it in writing
so I feel like they dont do it live because it requires 2 ukes and two horns and zach said that Transatlantique requires a 4-string uke and he uses a 6 string - also, he’s the only one who plays uke onstage but I FIGURED if they do this they could make it happen
- zach // uke
- ben // something brassy (sous? trump?)
- kellard // trumpet (OR WHO KNOWS, SINCE KELLY IS LEAVING BEIRUT)
- pawl // UKE
- nick // drumsz
- pearin // bass!
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCORDION IN TRANSATLANTIQUE!! ZACH I SOLVED IT FOR YOU, I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!
I just need to see this song live why dont you understand me
oh dear god, listening to Transatlantique after a while
I didn’t know it was possible to cry and have a boner at the same time
I named my white iphone The White Whale. and then it says “the white whale is syncing” and I find it hysterical

the live version of After The Curtain
if I hadnt used my one upload for today, jfc this is just so fucking beautiful I feel like I could climb a mountain made of marshmallows
the way he just kind of moans at the end aiuewraelrkgnsrt
*slightly* disappointed that the new music video isn’t for East Harlem as Zach told me it would be but actually any music video would have been great and I am SO HAPPY with this one because the entire band is in it!!! (Except Nick… maybe he’s camera-shy?)
one day I’m going to handcuff zach and cut off his hair, lock by lock until he tells me what the hell he’s mumbling in Bratislava
