Is it a sincere song, Shir? Because...weirdness.

Humm. I don't know. It says something like "It is not good that the man should be alone, but he is alone either way".

The cow makes my laugh so hard I tear. Every time.

I know that writing the dis is stressful, but for myself, I spent a lot of time not actually writing it.

That video is very odd.

I'm stressing out over my dissertation. This is not good.

OK, now the mention of weird Israeli music has made me search out "Push the Button." [link] This song always confuses me, because it takes me a line or two to realize when they've switched between languages I know and languages I don't, so I'm either trying to make sense of something I can't make sense or, or listening to something I can understand without realizing I can understand it.

God, I didn't need that reminder.

Here's a version with the lyrics. I'll try to translate the Hebrew when I'll have time.

Here's better Israeli music, for the sake of my country's musical karma alone.

Edit: I messed up the links.

"Custard" to me means flan. "Frozen custard" means the stuff that's sort of like soft serve ice cream.

What Hil said. Flan, or like, creme caramel, or something of that sort. There's a great frozen custart place in Alexandria that I miss, the "Dairy Godmother". I would love to go back there. They had great sorbet too.

Hee. The last time I was in Israel was a few weeks or so before that Eurovision competition, and my roommate and I (we were on a JNF/KKL volunteer trip to fix up stuff in the North destroyed in the fighting with Lebanon) would usually turn on the TV for half an hour or so before going to bed. We only got about three stations, and I swear, every night, at least one of them was playing that song.

I saw Hadag Nachash when they were touring the US a few years ago. Does that help or hurt the musical karma? (I thought they were fun to dance to, and that the drunk guy behind me who started shouting out "Shir Ha'stickerim!!!" every time they started playing a song other than Shir Ha'stickerim was very annoying.)

I like that Izabo song.

We only got about three stations, and I swear, every night, at least one of them was playing that song.

Yeah, that... happens. Sigh.

Hadag Nachash aren't as bad as I thought they will be, to my surprise. I actually think they're pretty good.

I tried to find one of the Israeli rock mile stones and a piece of excellence, and it's not available on the interwebs (Tammuz - The Orange Season Is Over). Shall I send it to the Buffistarawk?

OK, now the mention of weird Israeli music has made me search out "Push the Button."

I'm assuming this isn't the Sugababes song?
