Februari är den kortaste månaden på året och var de gamla romarnas sista månad på året. Men för oss väntar fortfarande nästan ett helt år av nya musikupplevelser. Här är några av dem som vi hunnit beta av. Bäst i februari? Det här. Brooklyn, Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago och London. ...

     Hi, everybody.  Just want you to know that we're back.  We returned last night, Thursday night, around 7:00.  Our flights were hassle-free, and our luggage stayed with us.  About the trip in India itself, I'll be telling you more.  It's early here, jet la...

� leiðinni í vinnuna í morgun ákvað ég að hlusta á Pantera (ipod með útvarpssendi). Lagið Heresy varð fyrir valinu. Ég hlusta ekki nógu oft á Pantera. Varúð þetta er þungarokk, ekki fyrir hvern sem er. Verst að hljóðið er ekkert sérlega gott en þetta verður að duga í bil...

Today's Golden Oldie is a Dry Bones cartoon that I did twenty years ago in May 1988. It was, like today, the day of Lag Ba'Omer eve. That evening, like tonight, Lag Ba'Omer bonfires would be lighting up Israeli cities, towns, and villages. To understand the cartoon it is necessary to understand that...
