Kuwaiti rapper Big D is back with a new music video and this time it’s a lot tamer than his previous one. My guess is the amount of negative comments from his previous video led him to go with this less fun and safer route. At least the other video was more fun to watch. [YouTube]

Looks like there is a new radio station launching for the Indian community in Kuwait called U FM. I called to find out when they will be launching but the person responsible wasn’t in yet so will be calling back again later. The station will be available on the 98.4 FM frequency and they already have a Facebook page up which you can check [Here]

Thanks Tijoe

Madonna is going to be hold a concert in Abu Dhabi on June 3rd. It’s still months away but they’re going to start selling tickets on February 27th and they’re most likely going to get sold out right away or at least the best seats. So if you’re interested in getting tickets, set a reminder and bookmark the following [Link]

A leading music distributor has shuttered its Kuwait operations after claiming the Gulf states’s censorship of albums and artwork had made it impossible to run a full-scale operation. Music Master, which distributes music from major labels such as Universal, Sony and EMI, said curbs on content from bestselling artists such as Lady Gaga and Beyonce had left it battling to maintain its profit margins.

I didn’t even know they were in Kuwait. I actually can’t think of one place that still sells new CD’s now that Virgin has closed down. [Link]

Thanks Ahmad

The only thing I could think of that would suck even more is if N’SYNC and Take That teamed up together as well.

I don’t know who these guys are but they just released a song called 2:48AM and their video is in black and white with my blogs magenta as the only color. Hence forth from this day forward, 2:48AM by Dabruck & Klein will be the blogs official song. [YouTube]

I had no idea rap battles took place in Kuwait but the one above happened this past October and it’s actually pretty fun to watch. [YouTube]

Warning: Music video contains every rap video cliche you can think of.

Pretty fun video by Bianca from the EarlyBird. [YouTube]

965 Crew – Kuwait Dubstep Team from Timothy Carr on Vimeo.

The 965 Crew are another group of guys from Kuwait who are also heading out to the Arabs Have Talent competition in Lebanon later this month. They’re pretty good.

They’re called One Soul Crew and they’re heading out to Lebanon soon to star on the TV show Arabs Got Talent. [YouTube]

Last night I went to the Foo Fighters concert here in New York and it kicked ass! I was worried they would only play their new stuff which I am not too familiar with but lucky for me they played for 3 hours and included all my favorite songs from their first and second album. The stadium was packed with around 20,000 fans since it was a sold out concert and you could watch the video I shot above that kinda shows how packed it was. Song kicks in at around 4 minutes.
