Can anyone help me find some Lebanese (or Arabic) instrumental music? I went to a wedding recently with a fantastic Lebanese band and would really like to hear more celebratory instrumental stuff. Anyone know any band names or people I should look out for? I have some Fairuz and Ouum Kathoum and other Arabic vocalists, so I am looking just for instrumentals. Thanks!

Help me gather the music of my misspent youth? Call it 1989-90, 1993-96, starting with small-town quasi-secretly-gay-dance-club (but definitely barely-post-new-wave and a little wannabe Stark Club, not radio/"dance" pop) through danceable goth/industrial. I put in my hours on the dance floor, and rarely gave up my spot, but I feel like there are huge gaps in the songs I can actually identify. Can you help?

I am looking for a band that played the Rathskeller in Penn State with a song titled "Procrastination". This was between the years 1999-2002. Anyone know who this was or where I can find a digital copy of this song?

If you could pick one rap song for every year, what would those songs be? I'll take individuals suggestions or entire lists. I'm looking at 1986 to 2009.
