Re: Music from Israel

[George Robinson <GRComm...>]

Khaverim --

I would also add to that list Radio Hazak, a website maintained by Larry
Yudelson, an excellent journalist, which covers Israeli pop like a
capacious blanket (although I don't think it's been updated in a while).
It can be found at http://www.radiohazak.com/
You can also link from that site to Larry's utterly fascinating (and
slightly berserk) pages on Bob Dylan's Jewishness, which I'm sure will
be an, er, useful contribution to the "what is Jewish music" debate.
