We’re driving to Chicago tonight to catch Beirut at the Portage Theater. The Flying Club Cup continues to ascend up the list of our favorite releases for 2007, thanks especially in part to the gorgeous and amazing Take Away Shows found for each song at the The Flying Club Cup website.

Beirut – “In the Mausoleum”

Beirut – “Guyamas Sonora”

The Flying Club Cup will be released on Tuesday, October 9th on Ba Da Bing.
