I've never been a huge fan of Radio Sawa. It's good for when you have people over and you have no music to play - no worries for me there! - but otherwise their English/Western playlist is too damn awful; way too many boy bands and teen pop and not enough rock. So I find myself humming along to the latest Arabic hit and then when the English song comes on, 9 times out 10 I have to change the channel or switch to a CD.
However, for the past couple of days since Sheikh Zayed (RIP) passed away, they have been playing the most beautiful selection of عود and تقاسيم. It's really something!
Go figure..
Hey, I was thinking the same yesterday! :)
ReplyDeleteBut then I got sick of it after two days of the same thing and switched to BBC news, which finally stopped talking about the elections!
فعلا يا زيدون..........موسيقى سوا هذه الأيام روعة. بغض النظر عن أسباب توقف المحطة عن البث.......... بس اسألو بو راشد من فضلكم .......يمكن نلاتقي عنده جواب.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they'll do the same if Arafat died?!
ReplyDeleteP.S: Zaydoun I found this clip of G.W Bush in a site & it reminded me of ur previous post, go to http://www.killsometime.com then go down to the "Funny videos" section, its called "President Bush - One finger Salute"
Enjoy ;-)

I LOVE the Pulp Fiction parody!
ReplyDeleteYep, I was thinking the same thing. A good change for Sawa. It would be nice if they had a daily hour, or weekly session with just taqasim and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI thought they would stop the Oud after 3 days of mourning for Sheikh Zayed, but with Yasser Arafat on his death bed it seems they will continue for a while.
ReplyDeleteIt's called "Holier Than Thou"
