All the Beirut news.

This week’s track is Sick by Sam Sparro. People keep saying 2008 was a shitty year for music. I’d argue it wasn’t a stellar year for solid new releases from artists with established career longevity, but standout albums from new artists were in abundance. Here comes a post-Winehouse ‘let’s throw everything British and soulful and white on the wall and see what sticks’. I’m too lazy to look into it, but here’s a great song I’m profoundly mad about.

Business rule n.1: Think of ourselves differently than the competition.
They even say we have to hate what our competition stands for and maybe even our industry. We have to hate it so much and we want to improve it so badly, that usually, we develop something new. Sometimes we go at the total opposite of the industry norms, sometimes we innovate from modeling a complete different industry. But either way, succes certainly comes when we are different.
To be different, we need to be creative, and in order to be creative we need to think different.

This week’s track is Bonjour! by Black Market Audio. Now that’s what I call a soundtrack for a pure Tupperware party! The sexiest words are those without meaning! What a secret recipe! Yeh yeh beats! Lunatic grooves! Kinky melodies! Tropical fruits from Tiki-Bongo Land! Dutch pop here we come! I tried it! It’s the ideal mp3 gadget for a post-valentine striptease! Moan…
