alonewiththemoon | music from the hurricane hafli

rojagato asked about some of the open floor music that was played at the hurricane hafli, and I figured since others might be interested as well I'd post the contents of the mix cd I made here. Not all of this was actually played, so the ones that I know for sure were played are marked with an asterisk. So:

1. *Hakim—Talakik (album Talakik)
2. *Ali Kurda —Taht el shibbak (album Raksit Badia)
3. George Abdo—Hadouni, Hadouni (forget which album this is on)
4. Najwa Karam—Oyoun Albi (album Best of)
5. Nawal Al Zoghbi—Elli Tmanetoh (album Elli Tmanetoh, spelled in various ways)
6. *Amina—Lirrili (album Nomad: Best of Amina)
7. Samira Said—Allah Yesahillak (album Youm wara Youm)
8. *Tarkan—Simarik (album International Latino)(even though he's Turkish)
9. *Turbo Tabla—Azziza (album Bellyqueen Jam, free cd that came with Bellyqueen DVD)
10. *Hakim—Walk Like an Egyptian (album Desert Roses 3)
11. *Oojami—Ali (album Urban Dervish)
12. *Rachid Taha—Rock El Casbah (album Tekitoi)
13. Natasha Atlas—Leysh Nat’arak (album Diaspora)

Money was sent off to the Red Cross this morning, after I demonstrated in public at the post office that I do not know how to count properly.

I thought time would open up for me a little bit after the benefit was done, but it hasn't at all. Tonight, go grocery shopping, rehearse and watch Lost. Thursday, hopefully see the Corpse Bride. Friday, see Serenity, hopefully at the right theatre. Saturday, performance at Faneiul Hall some time between 3:15 and 3:45, then see Mirrormask at the Kendall (what is it with all these wonderful movies coming out right now when I have no time? Mirrormask will be at the Kendall for only one week, apparently). Sunday, Jehan Kamal workshop out in the middle of godforsaken nowhere Malden, I don't even know how I'm going to get there since all the buses that go by the venue do not run on weekends. What with the fake taxi assaults, cabs aren't really that appealing at the moment, you know? Hopefully I can scrounge a ride somewhere.

Then next week it starts all over again... I can't do this to myself in November, I really can't.
