The Village Voice interviews Zach Condon, the boy wonder from Beirut:

Gypsy Road, Take Me Home

Beirut's gorgeous Balkan hymns light ukuleles and MP3 blogs aflame

By 8:30, the Mercury Lounge crowd is unusually thick for a Monday night, littered with folks eagerly awaiting a glimpse of 20-year-old New Mexico transplant Zach Condon and his highly touted Beirut project. Blessed with hype most musicians would give both arms and possibly a leg to enjoy, he sets any nervous tension aside, quietly and calmly awaiting the start of only his second NYC gig, worrying only that someone might have the audacity to snatch his prized new ukulele.

No one dares, and soon Beirut— tonight a quartet of multitaskers who handle cello, accordion, violin, keys, mandolin, drums, guitar, and yes, ukulele over the course of the night—casually glide onstage and slide into a new song called "Carousel."

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
