Beirut’s second album, The Flying Club Cup , was recorded largely at a makeshift studio in Albuquerque and completed at Arcade Fire ‘s studio in Quebec . The music on the album has a French influence due to Condon’s interest in French chanson during its recording. Condon has cited Francophone singers Jacques Brel , Serge Gainsbourg , and Yves Montand as influences. He also expressed interest in French film and culture, claiming this was his original reason for traveling to Europe. The Flying Club Cup was officially released in October 2007. In September 2007 they did a Take-Away Show acoustic video session shot by Vincent Moon. The DVD Cheap Magic Inside was shot but quickly sold out; in December 2010, Beirut, Ba Da Bing, and La Blogothèque authorized its dissemination via digital download.
