Iranian hip-hop/Rap

It has been a few years that Iranian rappers are becoming some kind of phenomenon in underground music society! There is this artist called Hichkas who is known one of the pioneer of Persian hip/hop. I like his work and his work reflects Iranian society at current stands, but I am a bigger fan of this guy whose name is Yas.
You can listen to him on MySpace, link above. One of his work I like is Be Omid Iran:

Without further ado...this is you, CdeB and Arian

and finally it came out!




p.s. My 2-cents: The start is strong, specially the Irish type of fiddler, but then the theme becomes very rhythmic and CdeB(isch) if I can say that. Not bad for start, but I would supposed they could have made it more high pitch and low pitch, perhaps trying to experiment with Persian tones and so on. of course, this is my opinion.

For those who missed Iranian tone like this...

enjoy,
Performed: Payman H.
Title: Golden Autumn (In cold days of Switzerland it is really warming!)

Gole E Goldone man:

If you wish to read the lyrics:
Sento nell'aria profumo di te
Piccoli sogni vissuti con me
Ora lo so
Non voglio perderti
Quella dolcezza così senza età
La tua bellezza rivali non ha
Il cuore mio vuole soltanto te

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

Dimmi che tu già il futuro lo sai
Dimmi che questo non finirà mai
Senza di te non voglio esistere

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

Non devo dirtelo
Ormai già lo sai
Che morirei senza di te

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, farò
Tutto quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

in English:
For You

I smell in the air the scent of you
Little dreams had lived with me
Now I know, I don’t wanna lose you
That sweetness which has no age
Your beauty has no rivals
My heart wants only you

For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll have
Hundreds days of happiness
Hundreds nights of serenity
I’ll do what you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

Tell me that you know the future, yet
Tell me that this is not gonna change
Without you I don’t wanna exist

For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll have
Hundreds days of happiness
Hundreds nights of serenity
I’ll do what you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

I mustn’t say it to you, by now you know it
That I would die without you

For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll do
Everything you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

too much work would kill you!

1. Last night I woke up around 2:00 shivering and feeling cold. I could not sleep until this morning. So, I decided to go to a doctor. After sitting about 4 hours, I was able to see a Dr. who told me that I have 38 degrees fever! He instructed me to the laboratory to have my blood test taken. The lady poke me the routine to my hand vein and interesting enough, after a few drops the blood stopped. I explained to here that since last night I have not eaten anything and I feel extremely tired and weak! She asked me to put my legs up and my head down so blood flow to my upper body! She then poked my finger for further blood extraction and after 30 minutes I still shivering the result indicated there could be a bacteria or virus in my body! I was prescribed antibiotic for only three days and Ibuprofen 400 mg! Anyhow, I still feel horrible and seems my head is exploding! But at least the temperature has gone down!

2. I finally moved out from my old place where I was living with Chinese. I have to write something funny about him. This was my last encounter.
The sotry goes:
I went to take my ADSL modem and router, so I asked him if he could bring in his old single modem which was USB port and install it on his computer. Making long story short, he brings the modem and then with his accent asked me to install it. After installing, we had to enter a password and userid. I asked him if he recalls. He said: No. I asked him to call Swisscom to find out about the password. So, he did so. I was finalizing my moving and cleaning my room, he called me and said that can I talk to the customer service on the phone! I agreed. I picked the phone, they guy was speaking with French accent, told me that he can’t understand the Chinese what he is saying! After rectifying and sorting out the problem. He asked me to make sure everything works, do as I instruct you.
He said open a web browser open google and type something there to see if the websites work. I open google page. I think many know that google can be set to remember the searches you have already done! You may wonder what he was looking for, I mean the entire pull down menu of the google search had words like this:
Gay pictures!!
Man and man movies!!
Gay going hardcore!!!
And many more gay related photos and movies searches.
There was no search for gay information!
Finally, this was the last observation of the Chinese guy and since first of this months he is back in China!

3. Chris de Burgh and Arian just recorded a song!
Chris has recently completed recording with ‘The Arian Band’. The song, ‘The Words I Love You’, is in English and Farsi and will be included on The Arian Band’s new album for release in Iran this December.
This is an exciting project as it is the first collaboration between Western and Iranian artists. For further information on The Arian Band please visit www.arianmusic.com.
check out the news here look for Arian

One man's junk is another man's treasure!

1. The title is self explanatory! I have watched Mohsen Namjoo documentary and quite impressed with one thing. He is from Mashhad (North east province in Iran), born in Torbat e jam but he doesn't recall much from there. He portraits people's opinion about him, especially I think his mom.
after seeing the documentary I came to undestandting how a person from quite small town in Iran, seemingly religious background turns to today's world. that is what I like about IR of Iran or should be slightly appriated. Before the revolution due to many superstitious people tend to stop their children from going to school, university or higher education, many mullas were saying that Shah's higher education is currpted.
Today, however, because technically Iran has a government known as IR (Islamic republic), no parents has excuse to stop their children from going to higher education.
As Mr. Namjoo's mother says:"...not sure how, but they[i.e. government] decided to allow the music is not taboo anymore when he[Mohsen Namjoo] was in grade 8. So, he went and bought his first se-tar and started to learn playing in local school was held on behalf of Ministry of Islamic guidance!"
see his documentary here.

2. I am just watching the move called 300. It has protraited Persians as demon and stronge looking people! However, in my opinion it is comic than anything else. Xerxes I is shown as gay, black guy, clean shaven!!:))
The army of Persians consists of Chinese, mostly arabs (or at least their closths are like desert peopel), Indians and black plus monsters and witches!!:)) The funny ones are known as special guard of the king of Persia, they look like a Ninja:)). They have Samurai sword and Chinese mask!
I think the voice of the singer who is also an Iranian, Azam Ali is most powerful item of the movie.
The movie gets too too epical! In the end of the movie the narrower himself becomes the head of Spartan army facing Persians to save the world from mistic and tryanny!HAHAH:))

Ey Iran!

wowo, I loved this work of Babak Amini, ey Iran.

2. Many have heard of Canadian group called Nickelback. I am quite fan of the group.
Especially this song:

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I'm I am alive(i am Alive)
Singing A..Amen, I'm, I am alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day... when nobody died

I'm singing

A..amen I, Amen I, I am alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I , I am alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I'm, i am alive(i am alive)
Singing A...amen, I'm, I am alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day... when nobody died(x2)

(no body died...)

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died....(x2)


We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died....
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died....
We'd see the day when nobody died
The following is just the song, I couldn't find their video clip!

Grey's Anatomy vs Dr. House

I wish to write some of my opinion of Grey's Anatomy and Dr. House.

i. Yes, I know I am a freak TV series watcher, especially drama one! May be I am living in my own drama! For the past few months I have been watching both series on and off bases. Of course, compare to the ‘old’ ER (which I don’t know whether it is sill shown in North America or no) both series are considered cheese!
Grey’s anatomy, however, in my opinion portrays a soup-opera ambient full of love triangles (Ellen Pompeo, Chris O’Donnell, and Patrick Dempsey), and dilemma with love and lost! How they deal with those issues. The conversations may try to deliver the main stream conversation among successful young generations; however they don’t well and realistically deliver those conversations. It seems the entire hospital is made of these group of talented residence and inters who are almost covering every aspect of the hospital dilemma. Despite the perjury of the one of the interns ended up killing two patients in heart transplanted surgery, the women is coming back to work and stands in front of the hospital building, where surprisingly can be seen from inside by many collogues and gazes at the building the entire day until one of his classmates goes to talk to her and put a jacket on her!! The side of the medical related terms I think is the least compare to all other such series! So, focus is love life of Dr. Meredith Grey’s.

On the other hand, despite cheesiness of Dr. House series, I think the actors seem more professional and versatile. The dialogues are performed at richer level which you usually expect from Doctors, although they are usually short of real medical conversations. They are richer in words as well. The writers have tendency to cover varieties of theme from love to existence of god and faith. Just today, very likely this episode is old and already shown in North America, there was in today's episode a controversial opinion whether god exist or not. They focused on the fact that there is an explanation for every phenomena occurring. On the other hand, let those who are believer stay believer. Tell them the truth and prove to those restricted religious that we are mortal! Whereas a simple conversation from those strange believers may hint you up for something as you may wonder all along!

ii. Today, I notice many sites are promoting Mohsen Namjoo and his newly video clip called Tresses in the Wind. You can also read about him at kosoof.com
