Josh Groban "Pipin" - No. 1 in USA !!!

Josh Groban is one of the best male singers of the 21st century.

He was discovered by the same guy who produces celine dions music.

He has an incredible voice , and now he is No. 1 in USA Billboard chart.

Personally , he reminds me the hobbit Pipin from Lord Of The Rings .

Lauren Rose- "Hava Nagila"

Lauren Rose brand new video for her Christmas single release of the re make of the famous Jewish folk song “Hava Nagila”.

This talented beauty's family name is Goldberg, so I guess she's one of the tribe.

And she certainly looks Jewish - a beautiful Jewish princess in fact - and I mean that in the best sense of the word.

You Better Run, You Better Take Cover - Men At Work

During the early 80's , Austrailia's most succesful band Men at Work were about the biggest musical phenomenon on the planet.

"Who Can it Be Now?" "Down Under," "Be Good Johnny" and "Overkill," -- songs to remember !!

I had great memories of Men at Work from my high school days in the '80s ,


will they ever reunite ??
Some of thier best video's :







Smith - Men In Black Sick Ideas !!!

Te rap singer and movie star, Will Smith, has stunned the entertainment world by declaring that the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person.

Smith, 39, is determined to see the best in people…

He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.'

Hitler’s leadership as Fuhrer during the 1930s and early 1940s resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and later on led to the start of the Second World War.

I've never really liked him, anyway…

Julian Lennon - Sky Full Of Diamonds !!!

The last story about jhon lennon , reminds me his first son - julian.

Julian is the son of John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia.

When Julian was born, John Lennon was in the heap of his carrier and was forced to be a part-time father for Julian.

The legend tells that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" arose out of a drawing Julian made of a classmate.

I , personally , like him and his art.

Watch him at "Too Late For Goodbyes " :

James Blunt - 1973

I bought his new CD because I liked the song 1973 , but was very disappointed with the rest of the album.

I only listened to it once in my car cd player.

Again, it was not bad, just not as good as I had hoped.

1973 was the only highlite!!

Too bad...

Girls Aloud Shots...


Call The Shots by Girls Aloud - When I first heard this I thought it was a bit weaker but I have played it so much I love it.
It takes time to get into it but this song is so close to perfection. (Now in the 3rd place on BBC chart in UK)
10/10 !!

Barry White - Great Artist !

I am grateful to Alley McBeal for introducing the incredible music of Barry White to me.

The name has always been familiar to me, but I'm not quite old enough to have been properly exposed to his music.

After watching my favorite character John Cage psych himself up with Barry White music each week on television, I knew I heard this one You're the First, the Last, My Everything.

Safety Dance By Scrubs ...



Men without Hat's bouncy classic "The Safety Dance" remains one of the defining moments of the early 1980s with its irresistibly catchy bass-line and Ivan Doroschuk's bold "We can go when we want to ; the night is young and so am I."

These words were used by the creators of Scrubs in gesture to the 80’s early years.

Watch those videos of Safety Dance – The original and the one of Scrubs:

“Tainted Love” Over The Years...

“Tainted Love” is the best song of Soft Cell.
“Tainted Love" was originally done in 1964 song by Soul singer Gloria Jones.



I like what Rihanna has done with Soft Cell's "Tainted Love." It's a bouncy, fresh, new approach to a classic New Wave/Pop song!!





The 45’ version included nice SUPREMES song “Where did our love go? “
In the background you can hear the sound of “Tainted Love”,
and it is great…

You can do magic - America


This song has came back to the radio in Israel...

I find myself constantly coming back to this song and video.

This is what music should still be, this song is just awesome...
