[My friend Joel Schalit, whose day job is now as managing editor of Tikkun (!), writes...] Hey Doug - This guy from Gosplan is an absolute nutjob. They're an absolutely terrible band, and while some of the observations he makes about the high incidence of Russian ex-pat punk bands in the Israeli scene - Smash Four, for example, are correct - his negative characterization of the Israeli scene is completely off base. His opinions clearly reflect his own political positions, which while very inter ...

Mark S wrote: >Someone opined that dead artforms like ballet and opera appeal to >elite taste because they are controllable artforms...
