If you spoke clicking, the sound would not irritate you. It would communicate to you. Why am I writing this elementary stuff. Your intent was to enjoy the sound of your crankiness. Also in the Dutch language we have the 'spitting' sound. We pronounce the letter G as gghhhh and not as in English dzjiiii. We also have the three letter combination 'sch' wich is pronounced as sssghû. I like Hebrew, it's a very compact language and -of course- it's the language of JHWH's chosen people! Shalom Jeruzalem! BTW; the song is a bit mediocre |

Galloping hypocrisy! Only bureaucrats and red* and black** totalitarian psychos think that a state with a capitol is a prerequisite for a community of human beings to claim right to property and life. Here we have a guy defending the Jews who have only possessed, for the first time in dozens of centuries, a state with a capitol for less than 2/3 of century. And his argument? No state, no capitol, therefore a HOAX! Huh! What? The dispossessed victims of armed robbery lose their homeland, get pounded back to the prior status of the robbers, and one of the robbers wants to take away, not only the lives of many and the homes of all, but even their right to call themselves "a people". Who was it said, "We have nothing to fear but stupidity?" Kobkob. You scare me ... into well armed self-defense! Get it? * red: eg, lenin, stalin, mao **black: eg, hitler, mussolini, bush |

I understand this is not a political forum, but I would urge that you not play music by Idan Raichel to protest the violence and show solidarity with the victims of Israeli brutality. Thank you. Liking the sound of this tune, I bought the record last year. Had I known this, I might not have. Thanks for the input!  |

I do not agree that RP should stop playing this song/perfomer, or any performer on the basis of the performer's political beliefs. I won't budge on that. As for Gaza, these are fanatics launching rockets at civilians mainly, and Israel does have a right to defend itself. That said, Israel continues to settle its citizens in occupied territory (we call this theft in western civilization), so the situation is pretty vexing, I agree. It would be nice if Israel stopped stealing land from poor people.

| meloman (Warsaw, Poland) | Posted: Nov 14, 2012 - 00:00 This information is from the website, "The Electronic Intifada." Adalah-NY stated in a recent press release that beyond Raichel’s collusion with the Israeli government’s cynical use of art, he has served in and performed for the Israeli army and actively expressed support for the Israel military during its brutal attacks on Gaza in the winter of 2008-09 and criticized Israelis who refused to serve in the army. |

Offal is precise, but dregs is more poetic and it's a common phrase and therefore gets my vote over scraps. Scraps is a good translation for carrion or giblets, but "scraps of life" is a bit ambiguous by itself. |

If you spoke clicking, the sound would not irritate you. It would communicate to you. True enough. English native speakers should understand that English sounds harsh and crude to folk with other mother tongues, as it has a relatively small range of sounds. I've studied Scots Gaelic for some years, on an off, and that has a vast range of phonemes many of which simply cannot be expressed in English - the 'ch' in 'loch', for instance, or the 'adh' in 'monadh'. To a native Gaelic speaker, English sounds rough and unsubtle and limited. Many singers from a Gaelic background (eg Karen Matheson, Julie Fowlis) choose to sing in Gaelic primarily because it's more lyrically and aurally expressive, even though they can, and sometimes do, sing in English. I don't know any semitic languages like Hebrew, which for sure can sound strange to English speakers' ears, but as Liz has written, they have a wider range of sounds than English, which is, after all, a bastard creole of German, Norse, Celtic and French (not necessarily in that order). English is unusual in not having any gutteral sounds to speak of, as these are common in most other European languages I know of (eg Spanish, German). Anglocentric complaints about Hebrew (or Gaelic, or whatever) are like drinkers of El Plonko edition vin ordinaire complaining about complex appellation controlée wines. English has utility, but it can never be said to have aural beauty. |

And I won't until I figure out how the hell he can make me love a new song, make me write it down, bookmark it, remember it, only to find, after I listen to it the next day, I think "WTF is this"? What I appreciate is the effort Bill puts into finding new material. I listen several times a week, and usually end up adding an album or two every week to my collection. Clearly, while we are in the living room listening to the stuff Bill found LAST week, he has tiptoed into some other room (probably the bathroom for its superior acoustics, at least in my mind's eye) and is hunting for new material for NEXT week. I can only imagine the amount of work this takes, and I do appreciate it, particularly because his hit rate is so high. I have many friends with eclectic music tastes, and they aren't nearly as successful at pleasing my ear as RP. |
