Who is DJ Nitrane?
Everyone is a DJ now, right? So you listen to couple of songs that were hits and you mix them together and play them somewhere, you become a DJ. How awesome! (straight face). But let’s not forget the real talents out there that succeeded to make unique impressions. Amir Nitrane, who has been sneaking around […]
Maria’s note: Guess who’s the winner?
Hours ahead of the final recount of the votes, we already know the winner of the Egyptian presidential elections: the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, SCAF. Less than an hour ago they have issued new amendments to the Constitutional Declaration in what I consider their checkmate movement. Analysts, liberals and media have called it a […]
Alien vs. Predator
Do you know those hardcore political activists who have dedicated their lives to tweeting and educating others about the shitty situation in Egypt?

Ghazy and His Goons
He’s Back! After a few years in hiding, Ghazy (Ex-Marbleheads lead guitarist) is back stronger, with his own band (Ghazy and His Goons), and not just that a full album titles “Change of Plans”.

The Four Year Struggle
Shocking results. After two days of going to cast a vote deciding the future of the country, Egyptians are in disbelief. Ahmed Shafik, representing the old regime the Egyptian people revolted against, is in the second round! As bizarre as it seems, we cannot deny the fact that Egyptians are still unaware of political dynamics […]
