Beirut residents: It’s hard to even listen to music now

Resident Advisory and Guardian both report about the Beirut club-scene, or rather what's left of it after the big explosion. As much of Lebanon's nightlife was centred a short walk away from the port where the ammonium nitrate was stored, hundreds of bars, clubs and restaurants were hit hard by the blast. People's attitude towards music has also changed - Rend Shamma, 34, art director of nightclub Überhaus says “So many people say it’s hard to even listen to music now. The few times I’ve tried, it doesn’t feel good. I drive in silence”.
