Green tea may work as an anti-inflammatory for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. How to make a plastic bag keeper. R.E.M.’s music catalog dissected once song at a time. “Now That The Day Is Over“, The Innocence Mission’s beautiful collection of lullabies, will make you want to burn your Baby Einstein collection. Buy it for your [...]
Perpetuating the Israeli cultural phenomenon of importing cultural fads seemingly years after they fade elsewhere, rock band Monika Sex has done a “mash up” of their gargantuan hit “Maka Afora” with The Cure’s Lovesong. They are calling it “Ahava Afora” (Grey Love). The title combines “Maka Afora” (Grey Hit) with Love Song. “Maka Afora” was [...]
I’ve been feeling quite crappy lately. The drugs help the physical aspect of my pain of course, but don’t do much for the spirit. In fact, narcotic hazes can get quite depressing. I’m actually dumbfounded as to how people actually get addicted to this stuff. I haven’t taken a decent shit in over a week. [...]
We caught Israeli metal act Orphaned Land at the Oud Festival last week. One would think that a doom metal band wouldn’t be a good fit at a festival dedicated to the Oud, but Orphaned Land was more perfect than you can possibly imagine. While they are indeed a heavy metal band, they are highly [...]
Due to the lovefest in the comments in the post below I am considering delaying my retirement from this blog. I wasn’t actually drunk at the time, just in a blog funk, questioning my humanity and the like. Am I a Cylon? What? Bomb with love! Bomb with love! All you Battlestar Galactica fans. Tell [...]
I wrote about how excited I was about Christoper Guest’s new movie “For Your Consideration” over a year ago. The film is about a group of not so good actors who are tipped for a possible Academy award nomination for their roles in the indie flick “Home for Purim.” I’m happy to say the trailer [...]
Oh man, on top of all the shit by beloved country has been dealing with and my acute back pain (feeling a bit better, update over the weekend) I woke up this morning to the news that rock legend Arthur Lee of the band Love has died. Rock and roll genius is a term thrown [...]
While Keren Ann, Aviv Gefen, Ninette and a myriad of musicians are in the midst of entertaining Israeli Jews holed up in their bomb shelters in the north, Khalas, a rocking Arab-Israeli band have been entertaining Israeli Arabs and Druze who might not be able to connect with Gefen’s mope rock or Ninette’s over the [...]
Ziggy Marley will be performing next week despite the fighting in the north and despite the marijuana and hash draught. Bet he has a good hook up in Tel Aviv. His original venue was Achziv beach just south of Nahariya, so they ended up moving it to Ra’anana. Major respect for him coming. All eyes [...]
Natalie is looking for a nice Jewish boy. Sadly, Natalie only feels Jewish while in Israel. Oddly enough, I have the opposite problem. I feel more Jewish outside of Israel. Oh identity issues! Perhaps she should consult this list. And what is this I hear about a possible role as Indy’s daughter in the new [...]
