Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

I'm ready, ready for the laughing gas. i'm ready, ready for what's next: ready to duck, ready to dive, ready to say "i'm glad to be alive".../U2
So i was thinking to my self: "Albums that changed music history..." what does it mean, really? did it create some sort of a revolution, did it create a havoc(in a good way), and what about the songs themselves-do they speak to us in a different way and no matter how many times we listen to them, they still make us feel butterflies in our tummies. Yep, i guess all of the above!!!

Achtung Baby-the album, and Zoo t.v.-the world tour that followed (and thats being taught in music academies, till this day), were and still are different in so many ways. its not only the 12 songs that each one of them effects you in various ways, but also the political message behind them and infront of Zoo T.V.

Tomorrow night, we will take a journy: musical, spiritual and political, and feel for ourselves what it is all about. in the mean time "everything you know is a lie, watch more t.v."

If I could stay.. then the night would give you up. Stay then the day would keep it’s trust. Stay with the demons you drown, Stay with the spirit I found, Stay and the night would be enough./U2

The last couple of weeks, it would seem that the world has gone crazy, everything is up side down. Actually, when were things ever normal??? The disaster in Japan, the merciless murder of children and babies, terror acts in the beautiful City of Jerusalem, which was 10 minuts from my home. Makes you want to pack the back pack and get the far away from reality as you possibly can. When my friend was killed 4 months ago, that was my second instinct: to pack my back pack and get the fuck out. somewhere, anywhere, just not here, not where 26 year old die in fires. But thats exactly the question: where or until when...or maybe, just maybe there's another solution, another way out: we can take comfort in each other. In each other and in God's most precious gift to man kind: music-of course. Good friends that help to numb the pain. and one lover to another-and then the night would really be enough!!!

This week-Wednesday night special-Dirty Dancing, thats right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oKUTOLSeMM&feature=related

We so deserve it: The music, the songs, the stories. I'm sure we all have our story related to the movie...and how can we not, the music, the dancing, Patrick Swayze wearing tight leather pants and holding you close...OH YES. This Wednesday night from 21-23pm.

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

Wow look at you now, Flowers in the window, It's such a lovely day And I'm glad you feel the same, Cause to stand up, out in the crowd, You are one in a million And I love you so, Lets watch the flowers grow./Travis


Ah, the spring, the spring has come!!! my favorite time of the year. Every where i go in this beautiful country of ours, everithing is just blossoming, evolving. Such a promise for somthing new and better. And "writing" about new and better-our new studio that is being build. how freaking amazing its is to do shows from there. being a part of a growing process, of something so unique. Thanks to modern technology (which i'm not such a fan of, though i'm so addicted to Youtube), we reach music lovers all over the world. I could be doing a show and suddenly, i see a listner from Brazil or The U.K that stay tuned in for the whole show. and i always wonder: who are you- a man or a woman and what does the music make you feel. or maybe you're not alone and enjoying it with someone alse...

So you know what i miss, records-vinyl records. i grew up on those. I was by Steve's(our radio's founding dad), and he must have hundreds of them, if not more. and he showed me some Doors redords that he got when they were just released. I could just smell Jim on them. How the record just flows in circles and the scratchy sound of the needle that adds to the vibe. You have to lay the needle on the record very gently and carefully, alse you can scratch the record. it took me a while to lern how to do that as a kid, i was very proud of my self the day that i got it right. So here's a thought: my birthday is coming up in a few months...any of you who is looking fo the right present, there's your clue, you cant go wrong with that one, ha ha.

Come to my window, Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon, Come to my window, I'll be home soon.../M.E.

Hey there everybody, especially those of you-us who have lost someone dear to a tragic and/or redundant death. I'll be honest with you, on rare occasions i'm speacless, and this is one of them. what can i write, its just too sad for words. But i guess i'll give it a try, god only knows how hard it is to write this words about Inbal and what happened to her.

Three months ago, a fire started from an "accident". An accident that took the lives of dozens of people. On that morning Inbal was preparing a lecture she was suppose to give later that day, on one of her courses. In the beginning of the year she had joined the Israely Prison Service, as a criminologist, she wanted to work with prisoners: to help rehabilitate them, and at the time of the fire, she was a cadet. early that day, Inbal phoned her mom and asked of her to light a candle for her, cause she had stage fright. But she never had the chance to give that lecture cause she and her class mates went on the bus of death. They were supposed to help to evacuate a prison from the fire, but they never got there. The bus drove straight to the fire and 40 people died-Inbal was one of them. Beautiful, 26 years old Inbal, with so much life and spirit in her, so many dreams and such love with her partner-Nir-who these days is a dead man walking.

One of our friends said that she still awaits for a phone call from Inbal in which she would laugh at us and say: "Hey suckers, it was a joke, it wasn't me. come on-you really think that something like this would happen to me. I'm here, i'm alive and kicking". All that is left to say is that we all still wait for that, we haven't lost hope.

The show today will be dedicated to Inbal. There's lots more that i can say about Inbal as a person and that damned fire, but no more. this is how we should remember her.

Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The show is about to begin. Wake up./J. Morrison

So, the moment has arrived. Isn't it amazing how we wait for something for along time, the excitement and the anticipation builds it self up. and then, then it just...happens...

I've had the dream of having my own radio show for years now. prayed for it, tried different stations and nothing. and then, 7 months ago, to be exact, it just happened...in the right place, with the right peaple. With amazing people, for the founding mom and dad of our kick ass radio, well they just KICK ASS. Tonight, is the debut of the evening-night show. Different music, different vibes and energies. The best things happen at night. Some shows will be dedicated to specific albums, albums that have changed music history. and other shows...well, we'll just have to wait and see. and remember that good things come to those who wait.

The debut tonight: Wednesday nights we will take a journy, different journy each time. so i thought to my self that it should start with the right soundtrack. Tonights show is all about songs that take us to a spiritual Journey, take us body, mind and soul to a different sphere.

songs that are a journey by them selves. So, brace your self and please, please, PUMP UP THE VOLUME!!!

And speaking of journies:

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

An' I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers, You need a little jump of electrical shockers./ The Clash

Hey there world wide rockstars!
So, from the feedback and the reaction, i have been getting from you, the blog is beginning to do its thing! great show today, and all of you from the U.S, 11-13 pm by us, thats 4-6 am by you. and for all of you from the west coast, its even earlier-WOW. Next Wednesday, February 23, 21-23 pm, Jerusalem time, the night show will make its debut. Its going to be amazing just like the morning show, but with a different vide and energy to it. The debut it's self will be incredible, so brace your self!!! Oh, and Stive and i weren't kidding about you donating money so i can go to Australia next month and hook up with Eddie Vedder, while he is on his solo tour there. Well, maybe Stive was, but i was dead serious. Your money will not be wasted, it will go to a very good and important cause!!!

So today on the show, i was in the mood for something nostalgic: Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" came to mind. (check out the lyrics link). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4pwSLptqbM
That song was in the kick ass movie: "Almost Famous". For those of you who hadn't seen it yet-go-now!!! Actually, thats what i did earlier this evening, i think it was my third time. I'ts Cameron Crowe at his best, and the soundrack is amazing, featuring: Led Zepellin, The who, Yes, and meny more. and it has its funny parts as well. There is something about the film, that gets to you. i don't know exactly what it is, but it always moves me. I think that a big part of it, is how they use music to express emotions-from the third scene, when the teenage daughter tries to explain to her mother, why she's a failure at being a mom, using a Simon and Garfunkel song.

In the mean time, have fun you all, listen to lots and lots of great music. and if there are special songs that you want to share with us, this is your place to do it.

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music, Any old way you choose it./The Beatles

Hey there music lovers and rock stars!!!!
yep, this blog is on fire and ready to go. this blog is about two things: 1. music, good music, the best music and lots of it. 2. you and me-that's right. we have our mid morning thing (Tuesdays between 11-13pm). soon we will have a kick ass night show. and this is our world, our space. to share...what exactly? for us music lovers, music makes the soundtrack of our lives. so bring it on: the stories, the faux pas. the naughtier-the better. but of course we can be serious as well.


Whats more, i'm very proud to present the Lyrics link: a song is made from music and lyrics. and to me that process is just like falling in love: you meet a new person and the first attraction is the physical one-the outside. and that is the first thing that a song captures in us-the music. but then comes the next step, ah-the masks are off-to get to know that persons inner beauty, his depth, what he/she is truly all about. and those are the lyrics in the song!!! And, like in love, that beautiful discovery doesn't have to be in a new song. we can be with the same person for a long time and we think we know them, but then they surprise us with something deep and new. i can listen to a song for years and to think i totally get it, and then i open the booklet of the c.d. and read the lyrics, and the "wow" hits me again.
So, every week or so, there will be new songs with the lyrics. and, if you rock stars, have songs that blow you away that you would like to share with us, you know where to find me.
