IT'S BEIRUT, BITCH!
Posted by Hartley On Sep 12, 2007
So some asshole (read: very nice man) inadvertently leaked the new Beirut record. How does someone "inadvertently" leak one of the most anticipated albums of the year, you ask!? Why, by unknowingly selling it back used with a bunch of other crap like Chumbawamba, and Silverchair's debut. You can read about the whole drama-filled SAGA here.
Sure, Beirut's label man/BRM super-friend, Ben Goldberg, has every right to be fuming. But really, what kind of dude sells back an advance of a record this good!?!??! And really, it must getting exhausting policing every 16 year old with a blog and a Sendspace account. Fear not dear Ben, the album DESTROYS and even if people don't spend actual money on it because they all got it for free on the net, BRM will make you a Scrooge McDuck pool of loot off this song:
