Salam Salami is definitely better. Hm, the button song doesn’t push any buttons for me. Salam Salami is definitely better.

Liza --heh I wouldn't know this of course seeing as I'd never use bitorrent or edonkey or what have you ;) Nominally challenged --it is really funny. It just feels like they suddenly burst into part of "rock the casba" every so often. Ooooooo Yesh li chavera is one of my favourites too --and their whole 2001 CD totally rocks. The guitar player oh oh oh, the guitar player so totally hot. Jack –exactly!

Some might say that this would automatically make it a Eurovision flop, but the Eurovision has certainly produced some surprising (and some surprised) winners in recent years, so who knows? I love Tipex (the band, not the correction fluid. I have no real opinion on the correction fluid), and they were one of the first bands I got into when I came here too. My favorite song of theirs used to be "vehapa'am shir ahava"; or perhaps "yesh li chavera". By the way, Kobi Oz has also written a book which is very cute. I think I might have it somewhere. He's also fun to read. I think it’s hysterically funny, but it’s absolutely impossible to dance to and it doesn’t have a modulation after bridge following the third verse.

I know that whenever I look for Israeli music (or Israeli anything, actually) online, I do multiple searches, using different spellings each time. Really? Wow – interesting!

Israeli uploaders use the tipex spelling ;) Liza –heh I know but if you want to go searching for their songs online like to download –which of course no one would ever do without paying for –you won’t find much of their stuff searching under teapacks.

In any event, the "Teapacks" spelling is deliberate. Hi Yael,
