I'm not religious, and neither is my family.... I wish "historians" would stop associating religion. Many Assyrian/Chaldean were anti-Baa'th, thus, Communist, and atheistic, agnostic, or indifferent... But I'd also add that church attendance has gone down every year in the US. Being a good...

(Real) Terrorism "The Battle of Algiers" --- another one of my Top 5 movies ever. View: https://youtu.be/vRE3j8pDMds

Very simple story, but a great microcosm of the American system... Probably my 3rd favorite movie, and I've reviewed over 2,000. And it's free in full on YouTube "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g3nNvjcRYg&t=2s

A search for self-identity.. Trying to find meaning. "Searchin' For So Long" View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAIkWMDgtWo

Excellent thread idea.. I will look for some and check the aforementioned out later.. Thanks!

Up until a few days ago, I never shared anything, in fear of something stealing my music, but now, I say, "What do I have to lose?"... Maybe that someone would hire me for studio work, session drumming, something. I think the internet is bad though, because of all the saturation.... Also...

I am a musician. I've played in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.. I have four albums on Amazon, and uploaded my first one under a pseudonym so I could share, and figure if anyone likes it, they could always purchase it directly, since Amazon are ganawu (can I curse in Soorath?) I...

I've written lots of music, all instrumental, and would love to find an Assyrian woman who can not only sing nice lyrics, but vocables on top of the instrumental... I'd collaborate if someone was serious. I have a studio at my house, and you can simple send me your vocal, and I'll do the rest.

He didn't kill millions of Middle-Easterners.. What hypocrites the US is about "invaders"... But, I don't support war. But this is all business. The US is paying Ukraine to do their dirty work for them, but it also gives the US intel -- seeing the Russian army, what weapons they use (and who...

And more Chicago for all our Assyrian friends in Chicago! Such an eclectic band.. in the 70s, anyway.

That is odd! I don't listen to hip-hop and don't know anyone who does.. 60/70s rock (and other sub-variations)... I've been the chief influencer in my extended family (and friends) when it comes to music, movies, and stand-up... I would burn hundreds of CDs and give them away. When one would let...

No one in my family is religious.. I just hope they aren't exploiting anyone.

My beef is that it went from being real music into drum machines, electronic machines.. Everything else in society is mechanized, computerized.. This is the only human thing we have -- don't ruin it! (don't buy it). I swear, I should call every record shop, and my first question is, "Yes...

Nice... The Egyptians definitely seem to dominate the culture. I wonder if it had anything to do with it being more "exotic"? Besides all the money they put in their industry.. It's sad that Iraq didn't have one, albeit the few years with Qassim. I asked my parents again, and unfortunately they...

I never insinuated any bias towards the West.. My parents love American movies more than any other, mostly because Qasim was only around to oversea social criticism in film for a few years, never having their own industry.. My parents left in the late 70s early 80s.. I know my mom likes...

Shlama. For years I've been curious about this, but I'm curious if there are/were archives of the listening public in Iraq (or if you want to narrow it down). And not just Fairuz and Oum Khalthoum, but I'm very curious what kind of English-speaking music would be played on mainstream radio (vs...
