I'm a little confused by Beirut's, "The Flying Cup Club", the second album mystery title. It was prereleased on iTunes back in September 2007 and was officially released on 4AD as "The Flying Club Cup" in October 2007. If you look at the album art work, the title is "The Flying Club Cup", which is what i've always called it. The last song in the album is entitled, "The Flying Club Cup". We would assume that the album title would match the song name, but in iTunes they're different. I doubt CDDB is incorrect, but Ba Da Ding!'s website uses "Club Cup". I'm led to more doubt by asking, what does club cup mean? I'm not sure if there's a typo or a change that was made somewhere along the line. Nevertheless, it's still a beautiful album and worth the purchase. If anyone has an answer, please straighten me out.

Read the Apple iTunes review and check how the review doesn't match the title.

Here a snapshot of "Club Cup" from the 4AD website.

March of the Zapotec by Beirut is available now. The double-EP explores Oaxaca, Mexico. Local support also comes from a 19-piece funeral band. The second disc, “Holland” features five tracks from Condon’s electro-pop project (Realpeople). Strange mix of songs for an album, but fulfilling nonetheless.
