HA! Just looking back at the playlist, tripped over the titles to the 2 Yara Asmar tracks. Words to live by. And slip into conversations at parties to sound clever. ;^) Yara is also an unknown to me. Missed that part 'live'. Also only caught a bit of the Arabic rap, but WAAAY COOL. Will have to listen OnDement later.
