This morning I woke up, and was confronted with alittle negativity. My mind imagined a scenario in which I was in a car and asked the driver to stop, I wanted to get out, so I could just walk away and retain my peace from all the corruption, insensitivity, and plague.

This afternoon I received an email, it was this video and the title read: "Agha! negah dar". When I listened to this video the irony could not have been clearer.

Was this a coincidence, or just ironic, or simply a similar response..?

Abit too obvious, just like Iranian beauty....yet inducing

Salaam....

 This was a refreshing sample of political critique, most exquisite sound....

I dont listen to music, because the pure sounds are often lost to incoherent vanity.  This was not music, but pure sound.

The water-pistol shot at the President's mom was alittle too cheap and not representative of Iranian manners, but the sound, music, and message was priceless.

Disappointed and very irritating

by ComraidsConcubine on Thu Apr 21, 2011 03:26 AM PDT

 Sobhani's voice and the lyrics carry the thing together. Otherwise,the video is very amateurish to say the least, including the sound editing (was there any to speak of?). 

You can't ride on the klezmer genre forever by just adding two or three fiddle notes, which by the way, was at least encouraging to hear that Kamangar can play (unlike the piano). 

The female back vocalist is irritatingly frequently out of tune.  

Come on guys you can do so much better than that!

Great song, nice clip

I don't know how many times I have listened to the Triple Distilled album, while I'm sitting, cooking, eating or driving. Cannot get tired of this album. The simplicity of the clip doesn't take away from the track. So i like it a lot!

by Soosan Khanoom on Tue Apr 19, 2011 01:22 PM PDT

The lyrics on economic and poverty can well be applied here in the U.S as well ...... Although it meant to be made for the situation in Iran but in general it can be applied to else where as well.  I think this can be a hit anywhere. 


There is an excellent article that is posted here on IC.  


Throw Out the Money Changers



One part says : "The bankers and hedge fund managers, the corporate and governmental elites, are the modern version of the misguided Israelites who prostrated themselves before the golden calf. "      They truely enslave all of the people in the U.S......They don't pay a penny of taxes and poor people have to go to jail for not paying 1000 dollars of taxes.

Watch "Inside Job" by Matt Damon.  It is a documentary must watch for all. 

This song can be its soundtrack ....... 

Good job .......
