Both Ilham Al Madfai and Shada are in the studio recording the song we are going to use for tomorrows commercial. Here are two pictures I just took of them. The light inside is kind of dim so the pictures are a tiny bit blurry but I will try to take better shots once they are done.

update: I had to remove Shada’s pictures because LBC didn’t give us permission to publish them.

I’ve been blasting Do you love me? all morning at the office, I think everyone is addicted to it now. Here is another classic song which they used play a lot on KTV, its by Abdel Moneim Madbouly. [Song]

Wow Kuwaitism just posted the coolest music video ever made in Kuwait. The video was recorded in 1978 back when alcohol was still legal and when the sea was actually visible while driving down the Gulf Road. Its an English music video called Do You Love Me? and its by the Bendaly Family.

Kuwaitism also has another video linked and more info so check out his post [Here] Also the guy who put the video on YouTube has a ton more vintage music videos which you can also check out by clicking [Here]

update: I asked my mum if she knew a group called Bendaly Family since she was in Kuwait back then and she told me she did and it turns out I do to. They are a Lebanese band and their daughter Remi Bendaly later went solo and was pretty famous. According to my mum back in around 1985 or 1986 I actually attended a Bendaly Family concert here in Kuwait and got to sit front row. The concert was held in Shaab Park which was an open area back then. The Showbiz owner back then George Karam brought the Bendaly Family to Kuwait.

Link for the above video. [Link]

Here is another link to a Kuwaiti cop raving, a girl dressed in a Kuwaiti cop uniform dancing and some more Iraqi cops dancing. [Link]

I downloaded the new Nine Inch Nails live concert DVD yesterday called “Beside you in time”. The concert really really really kicks ass and watching it just makes me one to hop on the next plane to go watch them in concert live. When the keyboardist starts jumping on the keyboards thats when you know how good the music is! [Link]

I found this tape while clearing up some stuff. I swear its not mine!

Here is another classic football song called Al Azraq. [MP3 4.5MB]
Thanks to Holla for sending me this song.

And if you previously missed it, Haydoo.

This is my current ringtone, don’t laugh. [Link]

Wow, Billy Corgan has a Live Journal?! For those of you who don’t know who he is, he was the lead singer for Smashing Pumpkins. For those of you who don’t know who they are, too bad, you are missing out, they are one of my favorite bands ever. [Link]

Korn unplugged sounds weird enough, but Korn covering Creep is just freaking weird. [Link]

Don’t know how old this music video is but I just watched it now for the first time and its pretty fucking cool. Reminds me of my university days, makes me want to get wasted.

OMG WTF. [Link]

update: There are renditions for other bands to like Radiohead, Coldplay, Nirvana, Tool and more! All the renditions are terrible. [Link]

update 2: Actually, Karma Police by Radiohead isn’t half bad. [Music]
