I'm fairly certain this video describes my weekend pretty accurately.

Valentine's Day in Seattle was ridiculous. Half the exits were closed (Yes, somehow that's okay here), then it took an hour and a half to find parking. We ended up scrapping plans for the aquarium for Pike's Place Market. Then I took her to the Third Floor Fish Cafe. It was

I don't believe so, do tell me more!

Their last album had a couple real cool songs, but was pretty modest.

Its pretty different. They did two EP's one called "March of the Zapotec" that is really heavy on Mexican folk influences. A lot of brass sections, which I like, but my roommate seems to hate. The second one "Realpeople Holland" is in the style of Zach Condon's really early work, stuff he recorded himself that has more electronica elements to it. I think I like that one better, but they are both definitely worth a listen. Not as good as Gulag Orkestar or Flying Club Cup, but I still like it. Basically, they just took a big break from touring and recording some time after sasquatch last year. I was worried that they were done for good, but it looks like Zach just took the opportunity to get some crazy new influences.
