Just released from Century Media… I like them. They’re eventually going to cross into commercial, they are so 92.3 K-rock it’s not even funny, but they’re still good.

A huge mazal tov goes out to the Zaken, Claussen, Shworchtsechaye and Old Friend Rock Bar families on the birth of a son to Yehi and Hillary Zaken. There should be many more in health and happiness.

The author might be bitchin’ about it, but I think it’s pretty bitchin’…

My Take on the First International Jewish Bloggers’ Convention

by skazm // August 21st, 2008

Yes ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately our government has decided that I and people like me are integral to creating Israel’s image in the outside world. Bibi Netanyahu and a lot of others gave speeches about the importance of Anglo bloggers in creating the image of Israel to the outside world.

Now there is going to be a new plan to give the Israeli people the identity the irreligious ones, at least, sorely lack.

In the next few days Tzipi Livni will sign on a whole new Israeli image branding program which will be taught in all the schools including some kinda triangle of passion, ingenuity and fusion, and that will be your new identity.. So be happy, all y’all wishing you were from Sweden, your tax dollars have now bought you an identity.

I mean, sure, Jewish identity and Torah is too passe for the Israelis, they have to be politically correct, right? Instead of feeding all the poor people here and making new jobs, instead of dealing with all of the terror and bad stuff on the inside, they will work to forge a brand called Israel in the minds of the outside world to show them we’re like everyone else, so they won’t hate us (but don’t worry they will teach it in the schools too to the kids who have no idea what they’re fighting and dying for).

“Maybe they don’t want the image on the outside to be the tanks, maybe they want it to be the shuk or something.” – Ben Bresky

I think this was a great piece of work explaining just what Israel is (and I’m not kissing tush cause I wanna work for the guy).

Sabaton – Tribute to 1967’s Six-Day War

Sabaton hails from Sweden and appreciates Israel enough to write such a stirring masterpiece of a tune dedicated to the victory of the Six Day War. Note the line, however: “Six days of fire, one day of rest.” SHAAAAAABBOS!!!
