Beirut / The Joys of Losing Weight
January 6, 2008 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music
Sorry folks, looks like the files were flagged and removed.
Most likely because some of these songs are on March of the Zapotec.
Though Zach Condon, also known as the frontman of Beirut, has already released two albums and an EP (and is only 22), he started recording at the age of 15 under the name The Real People. Under the moniker he released a a Magnetic Fields-esque album called The Joys of Losing Weight, which is something of a precursor to his music he currently releases. I randomly came across the album, which I thought would be impossible to find, but obviously it’s not if I’m offering to everyone. I’m not sure how long this will stay up, but if it was never formally released, I can’t imagine that it can’t be downloaded.

Thanks 2 and a half millions.
This is worst than the flying cup club. Something I thought impossible.
If you didn’t like The Flying Club Cup you must be nuts.
Thank you so very much, good sir.
May we have the list of titles?
Is the picture the real album cover?

Came across this page randomly on google. Thank you SO much. Love it.
part two isnt working.
im panicking.
Track 15 is apparently called “The Shrew” since it is the same song as the track “The Shrew” on March of the Zapotec.
could you repost part 2 pleasaeeeee!?
Both parts work fine for me, just try again.
Hm, neither are working for me;
“Invalid File. This error has been forwarded to MediaFire’s development team.”
It looks like Mediafire has taken them down :(
any ideas on how i can get hold of it?
not having much luck :/
C., go to torrentz.com, its there
When I try to click on them it says the links can’t be found, is anyone else having trouble downloading it?
Why would Mediafire take the files down though?
Could you try posting them again?
If the Mediafire files aren’t up anymore you can also download the zip file through Filestube.com
Also, number 19 is called Fountains and Tramways because it’s the exact song on Condon’s ‘Pompeii’ EP.
Anyone heard Small Time American Bats?
It’s another one of Zach Condon’s side projects recorded under the moniker ’1971′.
i want to hear it!!!!!
