from the allmusic.com review of beirut's 'gulag orkestar':
"The lyrics, it must be said, are the album's most obvious flaw, clearly the work of a young, romantically inclined teen who has never been to Europe but has seen a lot of foreign art films about, like, Gypsies 'n' stuff."
if you have read anything about zach condon, it'll probably have been about him moving to europe when he was 16..
frustrating!
