On Normalcy

A sign that Israel is becoming normal: After a few years of drought, there are a lot of foreign gigs lately. Devendra Banhart and Blonde Redhead are coming soon - not to mention Depeche Mode and Roger Waters.

You scare me - not with your musical taste, which is legitimate, but with your knowledge of Israel.

When you first wrote me, i thought that you are an Israeli in disguise, but you have your own blog in Serbian, so i guess that you are not.

But why do you write in Latin script? I thought that Serbs were proud of writing in Cyrillic. If i was a Serb, i'd prefer to write in Cyrillic. But maybe it has something to do with the fact that my own mother tongue is Russian ...

Actually Zahava Ben has a beautiful voice, but she falls prey for terrible songwriters and producers. She released one great album though, where she sings Umm Kulthum songs with an authentic Arabic orchestra.
