Beirut
The inaugural, Dessner-curated Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival concluded on Saturday night (May 5) with performances from Beirut, Atlas Sound, My Brightest Diamond, Caveman and more.
There were whispers there'd be an unannounced set from The National, but the secret guest Phi Slamma Jamma was actually Arcade Fire's Will Butler, Jeremy Gara, Tim Kingsbury, and Richard Reed Parry who performed a bunch of covers (Ramones, R.E.M., Devo, Beatles and the Stones, among others) to cap out the Fest.
Night Two pictures HERE. Night one HERE. Lots of pictures from all of Saturday night's performers (including Sufjan), plus video of Atlas Sound (who also kept busy in others ways while in town), Caveman, Beirut and Phi Slamma Jamma performing a song each, below...

- much over-coffee discussion today, and tomorrow, and the next day
- ah, those idle days in Brooklyn

"but what do I know, I wasn't even there"
Some chances are not worth taking.

7:47: Yeah, but try injecting some personality into those comments. I agree, but they come off as too sterile.

Pretty sick of Beirut
Posted by Anonymous | May 12, 2012 5:32 PM
Did Beirut play the song The Ripe Tide? I would love to hear that song live.
