I have never been jealous of Bingo

….until now.

“We’ve never made a secret of our political affiliations. Journalistic neutrality is so “Old Media.” That’s why we have no compunction about telling you about the blast we had at Obama Bingo, a small, private spaghetti party that snowballed into a full-out campaign contribution rager featuring intimate performances by Grizzly Bear, Nico Muhly, Marissa Nadler, and Beirut.” — Refinery 29

Uh, spaghetti party with Beirut?! Why weren’t we invited?

And before you even utter the words, “Who’s Beirut?” check out their music. Life-changing and Gulag Orkestar is very representative of a part of my summer last year.
