It takes a babe of a place to provide the right emotional and musical set-up for these sort of rare events. Balance Records was such a place, two years ago, and <strong>The MZ<\/strong> is such a new, albeit temporary babe, founded by cool babes of 17 (Itamar and Ilan) with a little help from some friends. Those guys just finished high school and had two free months in their hands before they get drafted. Two months to suck the juice of youthly freedom. They used up their savings to rent a run down studio apartment and filled it up with some second hand furniture. They purchased a basic PA system, got some beers in the fridge, brought on their friends and music, invited musicians to give low priced concerts, and turned this place into the coolest gem in town, where artists can meet their audience, share some beer and songs and sparkle the Jerusalemite nights with a bit of magic mixed with vision. And the thing is, it really works. You gotta see these guys, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the greatest (good looking too). They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re happy do-ers in a heavy-hearted, tired, old and way too holy city.<\/p>\n<p>It was a sort of an underground concert. I had a blast. The audience was AMAZING. The place was buzzing with the verve of good looking, youthful and restlessly creative people, of various vibes and ages. It was one of those rare, intimate, uniquely up-lifting concerts for me. I also happened to lose my voice almost entirely, so the whole thing took on this cozy home feel. I had some tea and my bottle of wine on my side. Assaf played a minimal drum set and Assa blasted his fabulous acoustic guitar. It was a great opportunity to try out some new songs and improvise on the instrumentals. We had so much fun.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a new song I had written a few hours before the concert,<br \/>\nand played it last night for the first time:<\/p>\n<p>I STILL GET JEALOUS<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in the mood, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in the groove, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in the move<br \/>\nfor love, my mind is burning.<br \/>\nAs soon as I got close to you, you turned around<br \/>\n&amp; said you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be calling.<br \/>\nI sounded crazy, I just love the way you call me,<br \/>\noh pretty baby.<br \/>\nI used to be your number one, but I was dropping fast<br \/>\nto number Fucking-Maybe.<br \/>\n<strong>And dig this too, ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t nothing here<br \/>\nthat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really over you.
