There is a small Natalie blurb in this new interview with Zach Condon of Beirut, which goes a little something like…

Yes, definitely. There are a few songs that have already been out there, it’s kind of putting them in one place. I guess one of them was on the Natalie Portman compilation, that thing for the AIDS charity. I realized, putting it out there, that there has been positive reaction to it.

AIDS charity? Not quite, Zach. If you recall, he almost convinced Natalie to sing on the track…sigh, if only.

All of which isn’t really news at all but gives me a chance to declare my love for Beirut and link to this.
