Music is my remedy (anotation to Little boots and her dance-music-awesomeness ).

I do like meaningfull music, but than I can just do with dance music, or psytrance and goa... i have a wide variety of styles in my music library... some songs carry special memories for me... like Rihanna's Umbrella... alongside of the aquired meanings connected with "no to the radar bases", it always makes me remember the rainy summer in Karelia, where we would not pronounce the word "umbrella" without subsequent "ella-ella-eh-eh" and acting like total fools.

I would listen to "appropriate" music in school when studying in Uni. So I have a large collection of music from ex-yugoslavia, Israel... and well, USA and Britain (my combo was International relations/English). I am into Israeli psytrance... which has somehow existentialist/vitalist feel to me. In Tel Aviv one dances to forget, and do not try to convince me otherwise. And as for other genres made-in-Israel... I pretty much re-wrote my conclusion of my thesis on Israeli/Palestinian conflict... according to Ofra Haza's "Jerusalem". Except I left out all the King Solomon and two women arguing whose child is it references I always loved Balkanese music... because "they love with the same passion as they hate, they live as passionatelly as they die" (eh, sounds pathetic, I know).
