Good. And you?

I didn't know they had a new one! The first one (?) isn't the best album ever, but I like it because it's different. Arto can do no wrong in my book.

My best guess Soude soude soude soude Amen pan soude Ice ashodeese metch Amen-a pan soude

Good old Arsenal, Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name. And while we sing this song, we'll win the game. Go Gunners!

Yes. Insecurity. The better you feel about yourself/your relationship, the less jealous you are. Jealousy is a natural feeling and is OK. Acting out based upon it is not OK.

At a minimum, I believe Armenians should not give up on having recognition be a top priority as long as there are survivors still alive. We owe it to them to continue to seek recognition in their lifetimes. Where I see the problem is that we're letting a few decades in our centuries of history define us. Armenian History <> the genocide. And as a practical matter, the US has way too many priorities with respect to Turkey that are going to stand in the way of anything significant ever being done. Sad but true. I agree, but there are some differences. Armenians do not continue to portray themselves as victims and most of us are not seeking anything beyond historical recognition. The Jews on the other hand, have the history books in their favor but they continue to somewhat portray themselves as victims--and in many ways, rightly so. Jews continue to be hated and persecued. When you've got neo-Nazis and other vehement anti-semitics walking the globe, you have a need and a right to wave your victim banner.

If so, how was it? I want System to play small places again. The Greek is too big.

Bump for Hokis! What ever happened to them?

Cool write up. I think Nune is one of the few current Armenian artists that's any good. I've seen her once live and she was incredible. I wondered how that show was so, thanks!

Interesting. Two of my favorite Armenian songs. Thanks for the article. Given that he wrote those two (is this disputed at all?), I need to read up on him.

Wow, her Joyous Light album sounds AWESOME! THANKS!!! I need to get that!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. HI BOGHOS!

A lot of releases on the Traditional Crossroads label are excellent and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them. http://www.traditionalcrossroads.com/ Everyone should own the CD they put out of Komidas himself singing and playing piano. http://www.traditionalcrossroads.com/image/4275.jpg

I was there; what happened?

I agree. Arto is great, but Serart sucks. When I heard he and Serj were doing a CD together, I was excited but when I heard it, I was very disappointed. IMO, Arto's albums Onno and Tears Of Dignity are his best. Both were done with Ara Dinkjian and released only in Greece (I think) by Libra Music.
