 | 15 Minutes Of Fame? The Mosaics Ask 'Will 4 Minutes, 1 Second Do?'
Most of us would probably like to see our faces on TV, rogues and vagabonds aside. Even better if you're featured in a music video.

Perhaps a little less surprising though, when the band offers to fly the said extras half way round the world for their moment of fame. 2006-11-28 |

Isiah Records in Jerusalem -- Again
Prophecy is alive and recorded. Vegetarian Wolf, Jerusaleman's (a.k.a. Ofer Golany) 7th CD, recorded with 12 Jerusalem musicians, creates a niche of its own. Speaking in Tongues. Zappa meets Carlebach. Lennon meets Lubavitch. Alternating between English and Hebrew, Reggea, Rock , Rap and Chanson coexist with Ska, Flamenco Folk and 7/8ths. The 12 cuts throw in bits of Arabic, Yiddish and Russian. Just as waking up in Jerusalem would. More humorous than holy it is the most played CD at the second coming.
