It appears that the creators of the 'take away show',La Blogotheque, have teamed up with Zach Condon and the rest of Beirut to create a video for every song off of their new album 'The Flying Club Cup' which is due out on October 9th. So far they have vidoes up for 'Nantes' and 'The Penalty'. All videos are/were shot in Brooklyn over the summer:

This is a video of "Nantes' which was shot in Paris.

The weekend began with both the Maryland Terps(2-1) and Washington Redskins(2-0) in high hopes for the season. By the end of the weekend, both the Terps and the Redskins had suffered more than horrible defeats.Losing is one thing, but to loose the way both teams did was truly demoralizing for the teams, their fans and myself. As long-time supportes of both teams, this had to be the worst "football weekend" ever.

On Saturday Maryland had a 24-3 lead late in the third quarter and had the ball on the Wake Forest 3 yard, ready to score again. A play later the score was 24-10 on a 100 yard pass interception for a touchdown on a pass by Jordan Steffy in the flat. Maryland never recovered and Wake Forest scored the tying touchdown on a fourth and three pass as time expired in regulation. Wake then went on to score the game winning touchdown in overtime. Final score was a Wake Forest win, 31-24.

On Sunday the Washington Redskins held a 17-3 lead as the third quarter began. The New York Giants took the second half kick-off and drove for a touchdown to make the score 17-10. The Redskins played conservative on offense and did several "3 and out" series and the Giants went on to tie the score and take the lead at 24-17. The Redskins had one last chance to tie the game with one minute left in the fourth quarter. The Redskins had a first and goal at the one yard line and could not score on four attemps. Pathethic, to say the least. Final score was a New York Giants win, 24-17.

The Emmys Awards got edgy as an off-color "Saturday Night Live" video featuring Justin Timberlake and strategically placed gift boxes was honored at the creative arts ceremony.

"Dick in a Box," last December's music video performed by Timberlake and "SNL" cast member Andy Samberg, is about wrapping a certain part of the male anatomy and presenting it to a loved one as a holiday present.

"I think it's safe to say that when we first set out to make this song, we were all thinking 'Emmy!'" Samberg said in accepting the award Saturday for best original music and lyrics.

"The other thing we were thinking was, 'Hey! Here's this young up and comer, Justin Timberlake, who is clearly very talented and could clearly use a break,'" Samberg said. "So, Justin, if you're out there, congrats to you, kid.'"
