New show - Push the Button, Sinai Tor, Daniel Zamir and more!

A music mix featuring Dead Sea Music Festival musicians and new Israeli hits including:


* Sinai Tor - Simcha Gedola - Off his first album, which I like best. He is rumored to be soon releasing a third.

* Knesiat HaSehel (The Mind Church) - Autobiographia - The moody '90s rock group is back with a new hit album.

* Shimon & Or Lev-Tahor - Lihiot Chofshi BMetziut HaZot - I heard this many times in jam sessions before discovering it on the Boombamela web site.

* Adi Ran - Eize Kef Lihiot Yehudi - The acoustic version. "So Fun to be Jewish." And fun to hear him sing about gefilte fish.

* Mordechai Ben-David - Maaminim - I hear this song everywhere in Jerusalem.

* Haakevot (The Footsteps) - Shema Yisrael - Two young army guys. When I interviewed them, they had to ask their commander's permission.

* Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane - I hear this song every day, especially blasting out of clothing stores like TNT, Fox and Castro.

* Teapacks - Push the Button - Israel's entry in the 2007 Eurovision song contest. Click here for lyrics and video.

* Daniel Zamir - Ad Matai - From the Zamir Sings Pop album . He'll be opening for Matisyahu in Jerusalem.

* Avi Sinvani - LaOlam Lo Nifrad - From his live album, for when you can't get enough 9 minute Mizrachi medleys.
