Those Poor Bastards - Everything Is Temporary (NEW SONG!)

True: it's up to you, to us, people, to endure the crap in life so as to make it worthwhile. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQID9pJCvvs

Ali and Sly

nothing is ever black & white. life is lived almost completely in the GRAY. the sooner one accepts that, the more enjoyable their life will be, and the more advancement we as individuals and societies can achieve. I'd like to think one of my idols, Ali, woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day. Sly's calm and clear confidence is a sobering and balancing presence. WE CAN change the world, but as history keeps proving to us over and over and over, we can't do it with belligerently.

Gavin Bryars - The Sinking Of The Titanic (1975, Obscure)


Extraordinary music endeavor!
Perhaps a subtle interpretation of Amazing Grace.
Either way, this is amazing music. not easy to listen to, and very haunting considering the tragedy and its consequences. as you hear it, you are almost there, a passenger upon that ship, a soul slowly being lowered to the bottom of the earth and sea, at the same time lifted and guided up to the heavens. you are resigned, and it is easier.

Luna Abu Nassar - 3 - Mishwar مشوار


Great. 
Luna is not just talented, she's actually nice! 
i wish her both local and International success.
