Tonight If You Like Beirut or Orkestar Zirkonium...

...you might like to go see Goran Bregović and His Wedding and Funeral Orchestra. They're playing at the Moore tonight. You've probably heard one thing or another by Bregović: His music has appeared in the Borat soundtrack. Here's video of the Orchestra in concert from a few years ago:

On their website, Orkestar Kirkonium lists Bregović as an influence. I think the Balkan sound is about three minutes away from someone Pogues-izing the genre—mushing a folk music tradition with punk rock and creating a totally different kind of sausage—and it's always good to get some background before it breaks. If you're up for it, I think this will be a great show.

Now you make me want to watch Underground, the movie this song was written for. Wonderful music for a wonderful film.
