My Year of Music

So a long time ago, I wrote a post on musical phases. “Take me back to the year of the Bass.”

Everyone goes through musical phases, and for my music fads change almost every year.

Recap on Nader Bouberhan’s Musical Endeavors/Youtube Diary:

2007: Nothing but Bass Guitarists

2008: World Music and Listening to Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday and Snow’s Informer on repeat.

2009: Broadway Musicals with numerous tracks from Davis Gaines.

The only constant in all of these years has been my obsession with Irish melodies via Luke Kelly, The Dubliners, and various artists and guitarists on the internet.

But as for the year 2010, it is hard for me to place an exact genre. One of the main reasons is now in Algeria, I have no connection with my youtube favs thanks for faulty internet.

However, in addition to my beloved Emerald Isle reels and jigs (hearts to you Michael King),


This year has been a combination of…..

Comedy Rock
This includes Cars Can Be Blue, the Arrogant Worms, and of course Steven Lynch.


And German Music
After taking a German Language seminar, I got really pulled into Wolf Biermann and Christina Stuermer (from Austria). As a language, German rules for songwriting.

This song by Wolf, I just listen to over and over again. It has some strong folky and almost mythical qualities. I am at the crappy cyber today,so I can not post a vid. Anyway, here are some lyrics.

Da, wo die Friedrichstraae sacht
Den Schritt aber das Wasser macht
da hangt aber der Spree
Die Weidendammerbracke. Schan
Kannst du da Preuaens Adler sehn
wenn ich am Gelander steh

pretty darn German

As for Christina Stuermer, every time I listen to her, I immediately put “Hands Clean,” but Alanis as the next track. She just reminds me of that song.

QATFYG: What is a better songwriting language: German or Hebrew?
Do you prefer Comedy Rock or serious rock (like Semisonic)?
And what has been your musical phase for this year?

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas...
