If you’re going to listen to just one Christmas song, this has to be it…

The greatest Christmas song. Ever. OK, not very Israeli-related, but this is the one I’ll be taking with me to that desert island…you can never have enough of Shane McGowan!

Israeli Girls + Mud = Ratings!

You’ve probably already realized that Israeli women are beautiful. You might not even have made it to Israel yet, but you’ve probably seen Bar Refaeli, Israel’s star bikini girl, in an advert here or a newspaper gossip section there, she’s almost everywhere these days. But you’ll just have to take our word for it that there are many, many (yes, many!) more beautiful women in the Holy Land…

And if you don’t get a chance to confirm this with your own eyes while in Israel, we suggest switching on the local series of Survivor (Wednesday and Saturday evenings, Channel 10) where, if the director is still on a desperate pulling-out-all-the-stops mission for ratings, you will probably get to see some fine bikini clad ladies. Rolling in mud. Again.

And if you can’t make it to Israel anytime soon, just Thank God for YouTube…

Depeche Mode in Tel Aviv!

It’s finally here, the moment a lot of Depeche Mode fans, and there are a lot of fans in Israel, have been waiting for - Depeche Mode live in the Holy Land! After 30 years together, this is the first time they’ve made it to Israel as a group and after cancelling their 2006 show due to the Second Lebanon War it’s great to see them finally arrive. In their press conference yesterday, they looked content and perhaps even a little nervous as they dropped a few hints about their playlist (maybe 6-7 songs from the new album). It’s also singer Dave Gahan’s birthday on Saturday, so apparently there will be some kind of mini-celebration during the show. 

Me, I’m really looking forward to the show, should be a cracker. I’ll be taking a few pictures along the way, maybe even including some pics of the pre-show shindig at a friend’s place, just across the road from the stadium. A full report to come on Monday I’m sure, but for now, here are a couple of tracks you can expect to see tomorrow night, the clips were taken from the band’s warm up show in Luxembourg earlier this week.

And my personal alltime fave Depeche Mode song. My knees will probably tremble when I hear the opening bars of this…

Depeche Mode’s new video

This blog is definitely going to be a little Depeche Mode friendly over the coming weeks, all part of the hype that is picking up ahead of their upcoming gig in Israel in May. Here is their latest release “Wrong”, another dark and moody video to add to their collection. This one seems even more darker than usual, or is it just me…?

Tel Aviv beach video

I’ve spent a couple of hours churning this video out. It’s a compilation of a few shots of Tel Aviv beach that I’ve taken over the last few years and was made using Windows Movie Maker. There’s nothing like a few pictures of the Med and the glorious beaches of Tel Aviv to warm you up on a cool winter’s night. OK, it’s not that cool here in Tel Aviv but I am thinking of putting some socks on…he he he

More videos to come, hopefully they’ll improve as I get better…maybe not…
