I taught the kid to pop corn

I like to listen to NPR's All Songs Considered on my iPod when I run, and since I haven't been running much lately I've gotten behind. Today I listened to a show from August 9 and they played a song by the band Beirut. I'm listening to them now on their website, and I really like it. Anyway, the main guy is Zach Condon, and guess what?! I totally knew that kid back in Santa Fe. He got a job at the artsy movie theater where I worked and I trained him in concessions and tickets. He had shaggy bangs and didn't talk much. Apparently he later dropped out of high school and travelled Europe, which has a noticeable influence on his music. Now he lives in Brooklyn and is livin' the dream I guess. Good for him.
