This month we asked some of our contributors these quick questions: What was your childhood nickname? Who is your favorite artist (in any field)? What do you like to do when you’re feeling creative? If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Where do you think is the most inspirational place in the Kingdom?

HEALTHY

The Way Food Should Be Go’s Brandon Barron stopped by Downtown’s popular fruit and vegetable market to bring you the best in local healthy (and fresh!) eating Images by: Noor Renfroe

34 Go Healthy The Way Food Should Be BANDORA DAY Jordan's Zikra Initiative – an exchange tourism concept that bridges social systems creating more egalitarian societies – hosts Bandora Day or (tomato-picking days) on certain Fridays. Set to be a popular activity this spring, visit www.zikrainitiative.org to get in on it now!

ne of the most beautiful things about Fridays in our city is the lack of traffic. Crosstown destinations that might be a pain to reach on any other day become a breeze to reach. No area of town is this more apparent than in the Balad. And nowhere in the Balad is as great to spend an hour or two than the fruit and vegetable souk. As I explored the narrow covered alleyways that encompass Al Husseini Mosque, happy, hardworking vegetable vendors welcomed me with smiles and beckoned me to “come buy.” It’s as if each stall was specifically arranged with contrast in mind — ruby red tomatoes next to crisp green cucumbers and sweet Granny Smith apples juxtaposed to tangy banana peppers. This is the Jordan many of us cosmopolites miss out on. You won’t find individually wrapped bunches of grapes with a barcode slapped on the bag here. Instead, what you’re buying (and saving on) is food as it’s meant to be: handpicked by local farmers and speedily delivered to vendors without added effort to make it look “more appealing.” The market comprises five main alleyways, and offers everything from olives and spices to in-season, locally grown staples. I found the readily available samples from welcoming salesmen to be the most appealing part of my experience. Don’t worry about being obligated to buy after trying a sample, either. The shopper’s goal of finding the most choice produce is an understood priority at the market, and shoppers and vendors alike understand that — while Stall A might have the best bananas around, no one can beat

Stall D’s avocados! It’s the price of the goods, though, that lures patrons in. Using their superb oratory skills, sellers boast of the lowest prices. Haggling is completely acceptable (and expected) here as well, so don’t be afraid to start at rock bottom. If you’re like me, and you don’t have the heart to scrape by with the lowest price, you can rest assured that, even if you pay more than most, you’re still getting more for your dinars than at West Amman’s big supermarkets. You’ll want to go to the fruit and vegetable market on a Friday, for a number of reasons. While the streets are blissfully vacant, the narrow alleyways of the market itself are bustling with shoppers, so competitive vendors offer lower prices than they would when fewer people are around. Make sure to go early in the day, before noontime prayers. Among other reasons, the old aphorism of the bird and the

Food handpicked by local farmers and speedily delivered to vendors

worm really applies here. My friends and I arrived at 9:30am, and we saw a noticeable drop in quality of what was offered in just one hour — it’s slim pickings for latecomers! Non-local foods, like mangos and pineapples, are also for sale, but don’t expect the super freshness or low prices you find with produce supplied by Jordanian farmers; it's imported after all. And don’t let the market’s name fool you either. In addition to fruits and vegetables, I was surprised to find fresh fish, herbs, and dry goods too. To get the full experience, walk around the whole market and explore what it offers before making your buys.

DOWNTOWN DETOUR Why not make your trip to the Balad a day-long experience? Hashem, arguably Jordan’s oldest restaurant, is just a few blocks down from the market and is a great place for a breakfast of hummus, foul, and mint tea. And bargains definitely don’t end at the fruit and vegetable market. All over Downtown, traditional Jordanian clothing, lounge cushions, rugs, argeeleh pipes, and more are sold at a fraction of the cost of areas more tourist-trodden. As with anywhere in Amman, the Balad is steeped in history. Right next to the fruit and vegetable market, behind Al Husseini Mosque, are some very well-preserved ruins of a millenniums-old Roman bath. Unfortunately, the bath is so well preserved because it is not open to the public, but a call in advance to the Department of Antiquities (06 464 4336) grants you the opportunity to explore the premises... perhaps while munching on a cucumber or two!

APRIL. 2011

’s Poll of the Month For April we asked our readers:

“What do you think about street art?”

Culture Shock! Hey Go-Getters,

e hope you’re as amped up as us for spring’s full-blown return and summer’s steady approach! We're looking forward to more activities, events, festivals, and all around go-getting as the weather warms up and people wake from their winter hibernation. So to commemorate this we’ve focused all our energy on the Kingdom’s lively urban arts and culture scene this month! From the best spots to get creative — whether you’re into art, music, or dance — to the coolest must-see galleries and current exhibitions, to the freshest local designers, our pages contain it all. We also checked out Jordan-based creatives who are breaking stereotypes through art as we sat down to talk to Mohammed Zakaria of Philadelphia Skateboards, Hazem Naouri of Huzz Ink, and Mike Derderian of Palestine: The Graphic Novel. And for all you energetic folk we’ve got great suggestions on how to get more active in an urban environment with sports like in-line skating, skateboarding, and parkour. We’ve also taken advantage of our beautiful country by going trekking and canyoning with Tropical Desert Trips, as well as getting out to visit the amazing village of Kan Zaman and the unbelievable ancient mosaics in Madaba. While for those of you who love just being at home, as always we’ve got our free OSN TV guide and April’s hottest releases in books, movies, music, and video games! Whatever you’re into, you’re bound to find it in at least one of our sections this month, so get going, get reading, and get out on the streets! 8 | APR. 2011

What’s On This Month

Need to Know April's Hot vs. Not

The Rumor Mill Mafia Wars

We heard through the grapevine that a war is brewing between certain pirate DVD storeowners. Though we can’t say for sure who is to blame for beginning the fight, we do know that property damage was done to one of the stores. So if you’re into your pirate movies, watch out! Apparently the sellers are becoming pirates themselves!

On Friday 1 April, Nadi Al Jawad Club (off Queen Alia Airport Road) will play host to Jordan’s first graffiti contest and art expo, “I Own the Street.” Brought to you by HUZZ Ink, ten participants will compete to win a cash prize and other awards by creating street art in front of an audience. The event runs from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. Call (079) 670 5708.

Spoken by: A hopefully joking coffee drinker.

Street Art

Mahmoud’s Buzz Word “Mfabrakeh”

Beyond the Canvas Art is no longer limited to canvas and paint. With street art comes “out of the box” thinking and mind-blowing originality! Who would’ve thought you can make art out of manhole covers or street signs?! And who said streets should be bland? Any injection of art into commonly overlooked things is valuable. Vandals Street art is great. Vandalism of property isn't. Spray-painting an alias or profanity on a wall doesn't make you an artist; any buffoon can spray paint that. It’s neither original nor ingenious, and it’s usually an eyesore, not to mention illegal. Great street art arises when imagination is projected creatively, not when a delinquent tries to take out their anger on a wall. Openness Street art trumps the elitism of gallery and museum exhibitions. Anyone, anytime, anywhere, can take part in this art, regardless of whether or not they're known in the artistic community. All you need is an original idea and the creativity to see it through. Plus street art is available for all to enjoy. Copy Cats Yes, Banksy is brilliant, but there’s already one of him. Repeating his work is ludicrous. Street art is amazing when it’s an innovative idea, not when it’s the trite reworking of another artist’s invention. If you want to create art, find your own style; you wouldn’t try to copy Van Gogh or Picasso would you? Why should this art be any different?

Verb. To fabricate or invent. Eg. “I am definitely sure his story is mfabrakeh, there’s no way he could have survived that!”

Mohammed Zakaria Go sat down with Mohammed Zakaria of Philadelphia Skateboards to discuss overcoming stereotypes via skate and street culture Go: How did Philly Skateboards begin? Mohammed Zakaria: I started skating when I was 16, but I had a really rough time getting my skateboard gear. So I’ve always had a vision of starting up a skate shop and I knew I’d jump on the opportunity whenever I got it. So about three years ago, I met a Hungarian guy who I’d skate with every time he passed through Jordan, and he threw the idea at me of actually starting up a skate shop. Slowly the idea developed into a board company, making it the very first Arab board company, which we launched a year and a half ago. Go: What are you hoping to achieve with your board company? MZ: With Philadelphia Skateboards — which was named after the ancient Roman city that Amman used to be — we’ve got several objectives. First, to connect East and West through a medium that we each understand: skating. This is why we mainly use Arabic influenced designs, because although skating is a Western concept, we are Arab so we’re trying to give it an Arab flavor. Why not take a positive Western idea and apply it to the Arabic world?! Also, we’re trying to break the bad Arab stereotypes portrayed in the Western media by making fun of it, like our board with the donkey. You

Image by: Hamzeh Zahran know, because you always hear people outside of the region ask if we ride camels in Arabia. So we’ve responded with, “No man, my camel's in the garage. I’m using the donkey today!” Go: We heard you have a new line of boards coming out soon. Can you tell us a bit about that? MZ: Our latest line will be all about Arabic “slanguage.” What we’ve done is look for Arabic terms that are used commonly all over the region, and we’re pushing these in place of English slang. For example, instead of saying, “yo, that’s cool!” we’re using Egyptian slang to say, “yo, that’s ishta!” Go: Have you faced challenges starting a skate brand in a region that doesn’t always recognize the skate lifestyle? MZ: When you’re a skater, because you’ve got your own crew, your own music, and your own style, you don’t care what people think of you. Sure, when we first started skating it wasn’t easy and people gave us a hard time. But eventually you grow to ignore whatever others say. Now as skateboarding is growing in the Middle East (especially in the UAE) we have people from as far as Morocco and Tunisia calling and asking us to hook them up with boards!

Go: There was recently an event in Abu Dhabi called the Kings of Concrete. What was that about? And are you planning any skate events in Amman? MZ: Kings of Concrete was a two-day skateboard, BMX, and aggressive in-line skating festival, where people competed in a skate park in Abu Dhabi. We sponsored the event and gave away prizes to the first four places. In Amman, we’re For the full interview planning something similar with Mohammed, log on for June. We’re thinking of to Go’s Facebook page a large space — like in King @ www.facebook.com/ Hussein Park — where we GoMagJordan can set up ramps to host a competition for local skaters. We’re Scan here also thinking about flying out our team for website riders Maysam Faraj and Mark Issa, who are in the UAE, to put on a demo. Go: Where can people buy your boards? MZ: In Jordan, we sell through the Jo Bedu store in Jabal Weibdeh and in the UAE we’ve just signed a deal with a skate shop called Rage. We’re also found in Montreal, Canada at an art gallery called Ctrl Lab! Go: Will Philadelphia Skateboards branch out into other board sports? MZ: Maybe! I haven’t tried all of them, but I’m into those sports. I have no idea what the future holds!

Art Matters will soon be offering art history sessions every other weekend. All will be welcomed to participate in this class that provides a structured lesson in a casual environment, introducing students to a variety of art through the ages. Learning about art history can broaden your horizon about the artistic fields and increase your visual awareness, giving you the opportunity to appreciate creative details you may have missed before. Attendees will also be invited to have delicious coffee and biscuits while they absorb all the fascinating information to be taught. Seats are limited and each class costs 20 JOD. Call now for more details.

ounded by sisters Deema and Ruwa Farouki, Art Matters is bridging the divide between artists and art collectors. Located in Abdali (Sulayman Al Nabulsi St.), this gallery and boutique promotes affordable art pieces by local artists — like Luay Dabnaneh and Alia Tabbara — offering up original alternatives to those mass printed imitation art canvases. Art Matters is a stepping-stone for as yet unknown artists that wish to publicly display and sell their work, as well as a store for those who are only beginning their art collections. As Deema put it, “we are more like a shop than a gallery as we are making art more accessible.” If you’re looking to redecorate with beautiful art to complement your home, head over to Art Matters. Who knows, you might just invest in a work by Jordan’s future Da Vinci or Warhol?!

Movie Magic Go’s Felix Pagden-Ratcliffe scoped out the top places in the capital to watch unique and independent films

here’s nothing quite like sitting back to enjoy a good movie. The two to three (and in some cases four!) hours that you escape yourself and enter into a world of magic — be it action, fantasy, drama, or horror — via film can allow you to contemplate life and appreciate the world around you. Cinema is a medium that crosses cultures, breaks barriers, and bridges divides, so taking time out to view a good movie is great practice. And here are just a few of the places in Amman that regularly offer film screenings…

Centre Culturel Francais The French Cultural Center is a worldwide French government led organization that seeks to promote French culture and language across the world. The Amman branch, situated just off Jabal Weibdeh’s Paris Square, is no different. Hosting screenings of French language films, with subtitles for nonfrancophones, the center also boasts a cozy restaurant and café as well as a “mediateque” — a digital media library from which members can borrow from a selection of 12,000 items centering on all things French! Paris Square, Jabal Weibdeh, (06) 461 2658, www.lecentre.jo

SAE Institute The Amman SAE Institute is one of more than 55 SAE campuses across the world. Like its sister-schools it seeks to provide digital and media education to a high level.

Hussein Cultural Center Opened under the patronage of King Abdullah II, the Hussein Cultural Center was founded with the aim of providing a central focus for the cultural renovation of the heart of the city. The Cultural Center is replete with modern access-ways, making it highly accessible to all visitors, and it houses a screening room that can seat 189 people. Much like the Royal Film Commission, this center hopes to encourage creative development and educate Jordanians and Jordan’s residents in the field of visual arts.

Acquired in 2006 the building, originally a villa built in the 1930s, provides the perfect location for the Film Commission’s screenings. In the winter, and during chilly weather, showings are held inside the building, but in more comfortable weather, screenings are held outside under the open sky. The commission aims to encourage the development of the burgeoning cinematic arts scene in Jordan and in the pursuit of this goal, holds events to inform and motivate young Jordanians interested in this art. #5 Omar Bin Al Khattab St., 1st Circle, Jabal Amman, (06)0 464 2266, www.film.jo

Royal Cultural Center Located on the grounds of Shmeisani’s Sports City, the Royal Cultural Center is another focus for Jordanian artistic life, specifically the visual arts. Boasting a conference hall, grand auditorium, studio theater, and exhibition hall, this beautiful complex can house most types of cultural events and does so throughout the year. And film screenings, which are held regularly, take place in one of two of the center's fully equipped cinemas — one for 35mm film and one for 60mm.

Launched in 2008, the Red Sea Institute for Cinematic Arts (RSICA) — located on Al Rashid St., near Princess Heia Circle, Aqaba — is the Middle East and North Africa’s first and only graduate film school offering a MFA program in the Cinematic Arts. In association with the world-renowned University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts and Jordan’s Royal Film Commission, today the RSICA provides students with an advanced education in cinema, television, and other screen-based media. If you’re looking to get serious about film study, then look no further than this exceptional institute. Call (03) 201 6201 or visit www.rsica.edu.jo for more information.

Fun Facts

With Flying Colors Go’s Kinzi Jones explored The Children’s Museum new traveling exhibit, which is part of their landscape all year Images by: Claire Collins

Stay Connected

he Children’s Museum of Jordan is a gift to the Kingdom's kids, providing them with a world-class venue for hands-on interactive learning. If you’re not one of the more than half a million people who have visited since its opening in 2007, now is the time. The museum’s mission is to nurture curious children who love to learn, and the center accomplishes this goal by providing kids with an enriching experience through educative play to encourage selfdiscovery of the world. Kids love color, but the onedimensional scientific definitions can be boring through books alone. The 15 interactive components of Color Play make the science of color and light a fascinating thing. I invited a couple of friends and their children for the kid-test, and the brilliance of the child-centered focus was immediately evident. Experiencing light through prisms,

motion, and the rooms of the Color Playhouse kept the kids happy and busy. My daughter was enthralled with what happens to color in 3D motion with the exhibit's globe full of colorful feathers. Zaina Steityeh, The Children's Museum's Communications Manager, explained that the museum, through its interactive exhibits, allows children to learn through multiple methods, something that has also influenced the way I approach learning as a parent. My daughter and I both learned something new with Color Play, and bonded through the mutual discovery. This exhibit is suitable for kids ages four to ten, so plan a play-date now!

Find The Children’s Museum online through their Website, www.cmj.jo, join their Facebook page, or follow them on Twitter to not miss any of their year-round programs and exhibitions. And, mark your calendar for 30 April – 1 May: a special Labor Day program will provide a chance to dress-up and role play through actively participating in various professions.

- Two fulltime designers create the museum's child-version of Arabic scripts for the exhibits, as well as other visuals and artwork. - Kids must come with parents, no drop-offs with the nanny. Kids and parents learn together though interactive play, which has the added bonus of building family bonds. - Free Open Day, every fourth Friday of the month, allows access for all Jordanian families. It is a time that the Jordanian Starbucks crowd and the Nescafé crowd can mingle as one – learning in community. - In partnership with the Ministry of Education, the museum has been opened to 43,000 public school children in 2010. Under the Ministry of Social Development, over 7,000 children from lower-income communities were able to visit. UNRWA kids are also now able to visit the museum for free. - Entry fees are subsidized by generous donors so all Jordanians have access to this national treasure. - Students can volunteer at the museum for school community service requirements!

abal Weibdeh’s Paris Square (yes it’s actually a “circle,” or roundabout, and it’s sort of a mystery as to why it has been dubbed a “square”) is the heart of this culturally saturated hill. Connecting six busy streets — including Al Baouniyah St. where the Jo Bedu store sits and Niqola Ghanma St., which leads to both the Dar Al Anda and Darat Al Funun galleries — this central spot is a great place to begin if you’re in need of some artistic inspiration. Directly across from the square — which has been landscaped with trimmed flora and benches — you’ll find the French Cultural Center’s

library, which offers visitors a collection of over 5000 books, film screenings (flip back to p. 18 for details!), organized lectures, and Internet access. Adjoined to this facility is the popular Café de Paris where patrons can enjoy a chilled out venue with good food and drink (look them up on Facebook to find out about their daily deals). And from here all your creative faves are just a stone’s throw away — think art supply stores, framing shops, ceramics outlets, and bohemian galleries. If you’re fed up of the capital’s more commercial districts then a trip to Paris Square is just what you need!

Fun Factoid Paris Square was formally known as Duwar Al Hawuz, or the “Water Tower Circle,” because of a water tower that sat in this location. However the Amman Municipality in collaboration with the French Embassy rehabilitated this neighborhood and transformed the Duwar Al Hawuz into an urban “square” renamed in honor of the French capital. 24 | APR. 2011

More than just jewelry, through her creations, Nadia Dajani is providing people with a connection to ancient Jordan Words by: Kinzi Jones

adia Dajani just celebrated the eighth anniversary of her showroom at the Intercontinental Hotel (Islamic College St.) with the launch of her new Andalucian Collection. Trained as an architect, she found her love for design, history, and art manifest in creating jewelry. Dajani has inspired many through her wearable art, with something for everyone, from elegant to funky and everywhere in between. Intricately worked 18K gold and semiprecious stones are part of the limited edition replicas of Roman and Byzantine era jewelry, worn by ancient women of Jerash. While the Nature Adorned Collection gives the opportunity to wear bold silver recreations of Jordan’s fig, oak, and olive leaves designed for a project in conjunction with the RSCN. Jordan led the ancient world in copper production, and Dajani’s Copper Collection revisits the past with delicate copper and bead creations, even knitted necklaces and fringes to Iraqi Najaf scarves. For the devout, from the Kunouz Collection, native alabaster and granite pieces are handshaped by female artisans of Southern Jordan to create masbaha (or “prayer beads”), and silver Jerusalem crosses adorn rosaries. Dajani’s signature creation is the circular silver disc with Arabic calligraphy cutouts, worn on chains or leather — the latest generation of which is seen in the Andalucian Collection with

With Corporate Social Responsibility as a foundation of Dajani’s brand, she has endeavored to make all aspects of her fashion house indigenously Jordanian, from the craftswomen to the packaging. Her projects have become income-generating professions for women in several areas of Jordan and Dajani is also working with a non-profit organization that creates jewelry to raise money for Iraqi women.

or some people art is a painting on canvas or a sculpture in clay, while for others art goes deeper (literally) to become a permanent fixture as a part of the body. Jordan’s Hazem Naouri of Huzz Ink has been creating body art in the form of tattoos for ten years, and — as the only official Tattoo Art Association representative of the Middle East and North African regions — offers the only fully certified and hygenic place in the Kingdom to get inked. Tattoos are not for the fainthearted, they represent a life commitment, “as serious as marriage,” according to Huzz. So if you’re planning on getting a piece of body art for yourself, you’ve got to make 100% sure that the design you’ve chosen is what you

truly want. Don’t forget (unless you want to go through messy laser surgery) a tattoo will be a part of you for always. But as a talented artist, Huzz works with his clients to create the exact tattoo design they’re looking for, and with the help of virtual computer programs, he will show you what the tattoo looks like on your skin before you even come close to a needle. And if you’ve got skin pigmentation or scars you’d like to cover up — whether from surgery or an accident — Huzz’s intricate art can be the perfect camouflage. So if you think you’re ready to commit to one of the oldest and enduring forms of art out there, visit www.huzzink.com or call (079) 670 5708 and make a date with Hazem “Huzz” Naouri.

Huzz also gets creative with movie make-up, graffiti, and is a professional airbrush artist creating elaborate murals and pieces on wood, aluminum, concrete, and glass for people’s personal residences or for businesses.

Distinct Designs Korts is bringing proudly Jordanian t-shirts to a proud populace

30 | APR. 2011

Owned by Moe Kharat, Korts was launched in early 2010 with a simple design to commemorate the ten-year passing of His Majesty, the late King Hussein. The original t-shirt presents the words, “King Hussein 1935 – 1999,” in simple Times New Roman font on a black background, and remains the owner/designer’s favorite tee. “It expresses my love for this man and I wanted to project this love to people my age, who were only young teens at the time of his death,” says Kharat. Today, Korts has three collections that

Jordan’s original funny t-shirts: Mlabbas

“I

t’s a curiously Jordanian word,” Imad, one of four partners who make up the company, states. “Did you know that in English, the candied almonds known here as mlabbas are called “Jordan almonds”? Mlabbas is given out on happy occasions and most Arabs understand the term. But mlabbas also means something coated or dressed, hence the fashion link.” Originally founded in 2005, and as of August 2010 a new store in City Mall, Mlabbas fills a growing local market demand of ironic and humorous t-shirts. With about 28 original tees in their collection, Mlabbas offers tee fanatics a selection of casual tops with Arabic humor, pop culture references, and common slang terms for only 10 JOD. A collection is also found at Champions on Abdoun Circle, and Mlabbas has expanded regionally, with t-shirts now available in Dubai and Beirut.

total 30 different designs sold for only 10 JOD each. One of the collections offers t-shirts that represent each of the cities of Irbid, Ajloun, Aqaba, Salt, and Fuheis, as well as a tee for the Circassian community. Additionally, Moe has designed a top for Palestine with Naji Il Ali’s Handala figure. “I make collectors’ items, so when you buy a Korts t-shirt, you've got one out of a maximum of 60 shirts,” states Kharat. Find Korts Only for Collectors’ Facebook page to see the collections and call (079) 970 7018 to place your t-shirt order.

Downtown Detour Why not make your trip to the Balad a day-long experience? Hashem, arguably Jordan’s oldest restaurant, is just a few blocks down from the market and is a great place for a breakfast of hummus, foul, and mint tea. And bargains definitely don’t end at the fruit and vegetable market. All over Downtown, traditional Jordanian clothing, lounge cushions, rugs, argeeleh pipes, and more are sold at a fraction of the cost of areas more tourist-trodden. As with anywhere in Amman, the Balad is steeped in history. Right next to the fruit and vegetable market, behind Al Husseini Mosque, are some very well-preserved ruins of a millenniums-old Roman bath. Unfortunately, the bath is so well preserved because it is not open to the public, but a call in advance to the Department of Antiquities (06 464 4336) grants you the opportunity to explore the premises... perhaps while munching on a cucumber or two!

His & Hers Due to its function, Al Pasha is gender segregated Women may make reservations from 10:00am to 4:00pm and are served by female staff, and men may go between 6:00pm and midnight and are served by male staff. The manager, Firras, asks that reservations be made one to two days in advance, since staff are called in to accommodate the number of guests. As far as groups are concerned, up to 22 people can be comfortably accommodated at the bath at any given time.

ven though Hamam Al Pasha has been running for less than two decades, the place has a real film-noir feel about it. The establishment, located on Waliy Al Din Yakan St. just off of Rainbow St., has a grand atrium with a large central fountain filled with koi carp. The walls are covered with mid-century collectibles and vintage radios, while an old phonograph sits in the corner. It’s right out of Casablanca! The straightforward yet welcoming manager, Firras, runs Al Pasha in a manner that ensures returning customers. He definitely doesn’t have anything to worry about, though; relaxation and rejuvenation are in pretty high demand these days. For 25 JOD, Al Pasha offers a pore-cleansing steam room, full body scrub, full body massage, hot granite slab, and sauna. Each noticeably relieves stress as you are guided to the next. Those new to the

process might find it helpful to note that waiting is an important element at the bath. The staff know how long you should be at each station, so forget about time, and let them inform you when to move on. In addition to relaxation, frozen karkadeh (hibiscus tea) is made available in abundance to patrons. It might be an acquired taste, but the drink is a great cool-down when sweating out toxins. After the regimen, groups can rendezvous in the atrium for more complimentary tea or coffee. Alternately, you can relax in a smaller lounge area with thick cushioned couches that has a large aquarium on its far wall, wherein swims a marvelous black tipped reef shark. Whether you’ve been to baths across the globe or you’re new to the idea, Hamam Al Pasha’s staff make sure that you have a great experience. Bar none, Al Pasha is the best Turkish bath in town.

DIARY OF AN ADRENALINE JUNKIE A thrill-seeker’s adventures by Go’s Karen Simon

High Strung Trekkers and off-the-beaten-track tour group Tropical Desert showed Go the ropes with a day of canyoning in one of Jordan’s beautiful wadis

rom Wadi Hasa to Wadi Assal to Wadi Kerak, Jordan is full of gorgeous valleys, canyons, and mountains just waiting to be explored by the outdoorsmen and women of our country. With winter behind us and spring in full bloom, I decided it was high time for Go to get out and enjoy the Kingdom’s rugged terrain. And who better to experience the countryside with than Tropical Desert — a team of highly trained rock climbers, hikers, canyoneers, spelunkers, and outdoor guides based right here in Amman. So we rendezvoused at Tropical Desert’s office on Prince Moh’d St., 3rd Circle early on a Friday morning and set out for a day of hiking and canyoning in one of the Kingdom’s breathtaking wadis. Though this sport is not ideal for those who are afraid of heights (but if you’re looking to get over that fear, look no further!), it is essentially an activity that is open to anyone who has a basic level of fitness. Getting up a wadi and abseiling down its immense façade is an incredible way to experience the outdoors, and it’s understandable why canyoning is quickly becoming a must among adventure-tourists the world over. After you trek through just one of Jordan’s wadis and take in its unexploited beauty, you’re going to want to visit them all! So if you need a break from the bustling city and lounging by a Dead Sea pool is not your idea of fun, then 40 | APR. 2011

canyoning might just be your calling. Scattered all around the country, within what looks like arid areas, are flourishing valleys and running streams ideal for days of exploration. And with the Tropical Desert team guiding the way, you’ll be climbing, repelling, and bouldering your way around these wadis in no time.

My tip: Canyoning is a team sport, so as excited as you might be to rush off and see the rest of the trail, don’t forget you’re with a group and it’s important to move forward together! Half of the fun with canyoning is working as a team under the direction of your guide as this creates a bond among the members of this amazing shared experience.

The Tropical Desert team and their avid followers meet every Friday and Saturday (and occasionally, for longer treks, during the week) to explore all that the Kingdom has to offer. When you join a Tropical Desert trek, they provide you with transport to and from the decided location and all the canyoning equipment you’ll need, as well as food and water for the duration of the trip.

Streetwise Go’s Brandon Barron scoped out the coolest sports to hit the streets of Amman, taking movement to the extreme Images by: Noor Renfroe

sk anyone, and they’ll tell you that Amman is a city on the move... upward, outward, and forward. And a recent movement that’s becoming more of a common sight is urban sports, like skateboarding, in-line skating, and parkour. All over town, seriously skilled young people are skating, running, and leaping into action, and it’s almost impossible not to want to be a part of it. For those who aren’t all that schooled in the ways of urban sports, now is the perfect time to get into them. While, until recently, the few Jordanian enthusiasts of these sports were hard-pressed to find ideal locations to build their skills, the city now plays host to some pretty regular hangout spots, and is really developing a great urban sport culture. Pros and amateurs alike are excited to share their contagious energy with the rest of the city, and Jordan is actually beginning to produce world-class gear and facilities to live out that passion. And what better place than Amman for this to happen? It’s full of the rocky escarpments and concrete structures (not to mention the scolding old people) common to all these extreme activities. 42 | APR. 2011

Skateboarding One of the oldest, best-known, and most misunderstood street sports is skateboarding. Many attribute the increase in the number of skateboarders in Amman to the increasing expat community here. Jordanians and expats alike meet up regularly to show off their skills, and local skateboard brand Philadelphia Skateboards is churning out some sweet looking decks. (Flip back to p. 12 for a better look at Philly Skateboards!)

Right now, the best place to skate is Al Thaqafeh St. in Shmeisani. The large median pedestrian area and surrounding neighborhood parking lots would be ideal for skaters anywhere, with stairs, handrails, metal tables, and concrete benches. Although some of the neighbors protest, police have told the skaters that what they’re doing is not illegal, as long as they stay off private property. To show of your skills to the biggest audience, show up with your board on a Friday afternoon.

In-line Skating

The challenge with in-line skating in Amman is not finding places to skate, it’s finding safe places to skate. Unfortunately, young in-line skaters have taken to the bustling streets of the city, without helmets, in groups of five to eight. These kids are doing near-suicidal feats, careening down underpasses and latching on to moving vehicles. For those of us who are a little smarter, albeit extreme, an afternoon of inlining is totally doable.

Sports City has the hills and smooth surfaces needed to build some serious speed. While for those who seek the adrenaline rush of air time, the skateboarders on Shmeisani's Al Thaqafeh St. are happy to share their space with inline skaters. In fact, skateboarders and in-liners are working together to convince Amman to provide them with a safe, urban sportsspecific recreation area, which would make both the active and the passive satisfied.

Parkour

Capoeira

Combining martial arts, dance, and music, this sport originating in Brazil, began as most street sports start — out of rebellion. Subjugated slaves during the 16th century took to fight-dancing as a hope of survival against colonial oppressors as the sport requires no equipment. But today capoeira is practiced the world over as a wicked urban art form. And nowadays Amman is as good a place as any to learn capoeira. The Ultimate MMA Academy (Cairo St., Abdoun) offers classes for every skill level. Though instructors teach everything from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Muay Thai, capoeira classes are growing in popularity. So tap into your inner rebel and log on to www. ultimatemmaacademy.com or call (079) 653 4335 for schedule details.

This one’s not for the faint of heart! Parkour, also known as free running, has taken the world by storm and has recently arrived in the Kingdom. This physically demanding sport originated in France and requires the traceur — one who does parkour — to climb, leap, and roll from large, high structures in an urban environment. It’s definitely the danger of such activities that draws the adrenaline junkie crowd to this sport, and the need for flexibility means padding and helmets are a no-no. Thus, there’s really nowhere that’s “safe” to do parkour, but it could be said that King Hussein Park is the least dangerous option. Myriad concrete buildings, walls, and other structures, along with the wide-open spaces required for a running leap, are everywhere in King Hussein Park. Go ahead, skip the easy stuff and try the Split-Leg Front Flip, a flip while holding one leg in mid-air. (Or, parkour from the comfort of your couch by playing Mirror’s Edge on PS3 or Xbox 360!)

“When I moved back, and Omar Massarweh invited me to be a part of the Nomads, I was in heaven,” said Zaki Ibrahim, current Commissioner of the Amman Softball League, who claims there is just something magical about the sport. “We all agree; the league has an atmosphere like no other.” Indeed, what else could unite Jordanian, Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian ball players to have such fun with members of the US military? “Softball turned the battle field into a playing field,” chuckles Ibrahim, “Our rivalries are happy ones.” In spite of the (temporary?) retirement of the infamous Nomads and the transient nature of the expat community, the league is slowly growing. Not all fun and games however, as the group donates a portion of the registration fees to local charities annually.

Testing the Fortuner

Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3rd Rally

DRIVE

Fortune Teller Go’s Naji Nassar cruises the narrow streets of Jabal Weibdeh in Toyota’s Fortuner to show us just how easy it is to navigate this popular medium-sized SUV Images by: Thaer Abu Hamdeh

e all know how annoying it gets driving around town at certain hours of the day; a drive that should take you 15 minutes now takes 45 minutes. Drivers these days have no street etiquette, everybody is in a rush to get somewhere, and what makes matters worse, are the cars doubleparked on already crowded and dinky roads making your car-life a misery. And if you’re someone like me and have a million errands to run, as well as move a bunch of junk from one destination to another, then you’re spending a lot of your time driving around in these frustrating streets. So what can possibly make your trips enjoyable and efficient? Well I found the solution in one suitable vehicle: the Toyota Fortuner. If you’re looking for a SUV that can muscle its way through traffic and get you to where you’re going on time, this is the car for you. While driving around no one dares to cut you off or squeeze you out of your lane. You own the roads and you drive at your own pace. With a 2.7-liter engine and 181 horsepower everyone knew I was coming through and moved out of my way.

46 | APR. 2011

I decided to take a little road trip across Amman to one of our favorite jabals, through narrow and curvy roads to see just how this SUV handles. The first thing I noticed was the comfort of the sports-style driver seats. Also, the driving performance of this 4WD was sturdy and stable; when taking sharp turns around Jabal Weibdeh you need a solid car that’s going to be able to hold itself onto the tarmac. But what’s even more impressive was when parking, the Fortuner includes a security system that generates warnings if too close to an object. I knew that people might have been staring at me strangely for driving a colossal of a car around Weibdeh, however, seeing how this seven-seater easily turns into a five-seater with much room for large loads, lugging packages from Weibdeh to Abdoun is no problem. And the great thing about the Fortuner is, the back is not the only room for storage — there are numerous spaces across the entire vehicle to let you securely store items close at hand. After making my way back to Toyota on Mecca St. to hand back the Fortuner, I decided to study the interior of the vehicle and three words came to mind. The same three words that the salesman told me and the same three words Toyota use in the car’s catalog: open, bright, and spacious. Your control system is easy to access, simple to get around, and to top it off this SUV’s sporty Three-Eye Optitron Combination Meter provides excellent visibility in varying light. I handed back the keys to the dealership, smiled, and rhetorically said, “What more could you

at a Glance Engine Capacity: 4.0 cc Engine Type: 2.7l, 181 hp

want from a vehicle?” And all at a starting price of 33,900 JOD! During this road trip my photographer/co-pilot sidekick turned to me and asked, “Do you know what you are going to write?” All I knew was that I needed to say, among other things, that the Fortuner is a sturdy, stable, spacious, and sexy SUV.

The number of spectators continues to increase yearly, and this year will be no different with big crowds across the country gathering to celebrate the beauty of car racing at its grittiest.

Madaba’s Ancient Art lovers set your scope south of Amman for a stroll back in time where you will discover mosaic art dating back to the Byzantine period

s you enter Madaba, a town located 30km south-west of the capital, it appears to resemble any other traditional Jordanian city with its local shops, traffic, and general public hastily going to and from their day-to-day errands. But there is much more hidden around, within, and beneath this extraordinary town known as the “City of Mosaics.” Madaba is world renowned for its Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics but people flock to this area for its most notable mosaic — discovered in 1896, today it stands as the oldest known map of the Holy Land — but we’ll get to that later. A great way to kick off your promenade into the land of ancient art is by starting at the Visitor’s Center. Located in the Old Town, here you will be welcomed and given a map of the area’s mosaic sites that will start you off on your 52 | APR. 2011

sightseeing tour by foot of some extraordinary pieces dating back to the fifth and sixth century. Secluded between ancient structures, you’ll find the Archaeological Park (a short five-minute walk from the Visitor’s Center). This serene courtyard allows you to stroll on Roman streets and take the weight off your feet while you sit and contemplate each mosaic without interruption from a noisy city (and admission is only 2 JOD). The park also contains the Church of the Virgin, the Hippolytus Mansion, and the Madaba Institute for Mosaic Arts. Additionally, this area houses the oldest mosaic discovered in Jordan to-date. An extraordinary mosaic of blue and yellow abstract design that decorates the floor of the apodyterium (or “dressing room”) in the Roman Bath Complex at the Machaerus Palace (known as

Mukawir in Arabic). Some believe that this mosaic dates back to the reign of Herod the Great (37 – 4 B.C.E.) when the fortress was built by the Hasmoneans. Located around the corner, ten minutes from the Archaeological Park is the Madaba Museum. The beauty of this museum is that it has been created from a group of old traditional homes on the site of an ancient chapel. Throughout the museum are collections of treasured possessions, colossal and small mosaics, and Jordanian dresses representing specific regions and eras of the Kingdom, as well as jewelry and ceramics dating back to different centuries. And finally, we get to the must-see of the area: the impressive sixth century Byzantine mosaic map — housed in the 19th century Greek Orthodox Basilica of Saint George — that depicts the entire

region of Jordan and the Holy Land. Amazingly enough, it only costs you one dinar to enter and feast your eyes on this magnificent work of art that scholars from around the world hunger to see. The added value is being inside this magnificent church, which displays an array of colors through embellishments on chandeliers, paintings, and windowpanes. From here the last part of the Old Town tour is a stop at the Church of the Apostles; a last but by no means lesser site to visit. The Church of the Apostles is located

15 to 20 minutes from the Visitor’s Center. Here you will see some of Madaba’s most beautiful and unique mosaics dating back to 578 C.E., which are known for their striking embodiment of the sea. A noteworthy point about Madaba is that there are still many mosaics that are believed to lie buried beneath homes waiting to be revealed. So, for an outing that overflows with art take the road to Old Town Madaba, a city that lies quietly, waiting to be re-discovered by those who seek to see its hidden magnificence.

The serene courtyard allows you to stroll and contemplate each mosaic without interruption from a noisy city.

pain is one of Europe’s most vibrant and open countries. With a breadth and depth of cultural and artistic life virtually unmatched by any other nation, Spain’s regions and cities each display a unique character and spirit, flavored by the country’s rich history. From the northern Catalan area to the southern Andalusian parts, in España one is never far from the arts. And with celebrated creative countrymen like Salvador Dali, Antonio Gaudí, Francisco de Goya, and Pablo Picasso, it’s no wonder that Spain the an artist’s paradise.

Barcelona

Madrid

Granada

Capital of Cataluña, Barcelona is world-famous as one of Spain’s most exciting cities. Long a bastion of new and experimental art, the region’s traditional resistance to centralized rule has leant it an independent character. One of the most famous of Barcelona’s artistic residents was the architect Antonio Gaudí, whose surreal buildings can be seen all over the city as well as in the popular Park Güell, where Gaudi's house La Torre Rosa sits. While another of his most famous feats is the Cathedral of the Sagrada Família, which — though unfinished — is considered one of the country’s greatest monuments.

The capital of the country was the center of the radical Movida movement that erupted after the death of the dictator Franco in the 1970s, rejecting the conservative artistic values of the regime and bringing artists like the director Almodovar to the fore. Since then Madrid has been a vibrant center for modern art, as well as retaining the wealth of classical art it has accrued over the centuries. One recent example of this modern urban art is the initiative led by shopkeepers, inviting graffiti artists to decorate their night-time shutters to protect them from less imaginative graffiti and to promote creative street art!

Granada, the last bastion of the Arabic Islamic Empire in Andalucía, is one of that region’s best examples of the Moorish architectural style. The Alhambra is a celebrated edifice that is worth a visit to Spain by itself. The city, though modern, still exhibits a rich history with numerous buildings dating back to the Moor’s vibrant period. Within the city you will find restaurants serving traditional Andaluz food, inspired by the region’s cultural heritage, and at night you can easily find Flamenco restaurants offering the live Spanish music and dancing, which is famous throughout the world.

EDTOKNOW NE The Studio

iding in the midst of downtown Amman, buried among the mundane furniture stores on Prince Mohammad St., lays a gem of a place to fulfill all your creative artistic desires. The Studio, founded by young artists Ghalia Barghouthi, Muna Amareen, Sarah Hatahet, and Sara Rashdan, was started for a place for like-minded artists to get together, exchange ideas, and make some seriously good art. Blending into the Balad’s city façade, The Studio can be distinguished from its structural counterparts by its indigo, iron-railed balconies on the second floor with café style furniture. This gallery's austere concrete staircase leads you up to an artistic hang out. On first arrival, there is a lounge room equipped with a TV and a friendly cat perched upon the windowsill. The room is occupied with eclectic, second-hand furniture taken from several different past decades. This no-fuss, comfortable atmosphere is perfect for artists to relax, share ideas, and get inspired. Doubling as a print studio and art gallery, creatives can get together at The Studio to join printmaking workshops or just to be artistic in a multitude of ways. As a multi-media

resource center as well, this space also offers an assortment of workshop sections that provide artists with a range of tools and inspiration for any design. One table holds a guitar that is being detached piece by piece, another has a row of brushes and a kaleidoscope of paints, while yet another desk is covered with sanders and other power tools; all ready for whatever the artist in you wants to conceive! The Studio even has a dark room and a printer press, unique spaces and equipment not so easily found. The gallery is plastered with artwork; every wall adorned with inspired compositions, each piece distinct from the last, covering an array of different styles. On one wall alone a visitor will see everything from finger paintings to canvases with complex designs. Even the doors of the space are covered with clippings of famous works, magazine cutouts, and inspiring pictures — think traditional Renaissance art, rolling Jordanian landscapes, anime-inspired drawings, and everyday objects portrayed in their simple beauty. The diversity of the art that embellishes the walls is as unique and distinct as every artist that comes to experiment in The Studio.

also offers a huge open rooftop area, which will make the perfect innovative space for artists during Jordan’s spring and summer!

Artist of the

Week

The Studio is also encouraging Jordanbased artists as this space acts as a gallery displaying and selling local artworks. For example, recently the talented Mothanna Hussein was selected as The Studio's "Artist of the Week," with his work being promoted on The Studio's Facebook page.

Even for the artistically impaired (but not lacking in appreciation), there is a quaint library within The Studio stacked with art books. A rustic, royal purple room decorated with a colossal, textured blue painting, with comfortable seating provides an imaginative yet relaxed setting to flip through a collection of books. These range from topics such as drawing pop art, to how to sketch, to making origami, to an entire survey book of the history of art. The library even boasts books on particular artists like graffiti artist turned neoexpressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquaint to the more classical artists like Monet. A few misplaced Harry Potter books add a whimsical, carefree touch to this informal library. And bilingual readers will be happy to know that here, they can find books in both English and Arabic!

Illustrating Hope Bringing together over 40 of the country’s most talented writers, illustrators, and designers, Palestine: The Graphic Novel is — literally and figuratively — getting people on the same page

riginally released in 1996, American comic artist Joe Sacco’s Palestine depicted his two months spent in Gaza and the West Bank in the early 90s. His telling graphic narrative detailed everyday life in the occupied territories — from the sordid landscapes to the peoples’ constant struggle for basic necessities — and provided an honest look into a world few in the West had ever encountered. Sacco was eventually awarded the American Book Award for his work and today Palestine is regarded among one of the best documentary sources of the Palestinian struggle. Taking inspiration from this graphic novel, a group of Amman’s most innovative writers, artists, illustrators, inkers, and designers have come together to create Palestine: The Graphic Novel / ‫ الرواية المرسومة‬:‫فلسطين‬, a bilingual collection of stories by Jordanians, Palestinians, and other Arabs illustrating the continuous atrocity that is life in the occupied territories today. The brainchild of Mike V. Derderian — one of the country’s eminent writers and comic artists (who also happens to be Go’s current blogger of the month, p. 96) — this book came about when Derderian thought to unify the Kingdom’s creative minds via comic art. Now, under the auspices of The Studio (the ingenious art space and gallery you just read about on our previous page), through diligence in bringing the artists together, and perseverance in finding support, Palestine: The Graphic Novel is in production. Set to be released this spring, with a print-run of 1000 copies and a grand launch event at The Studio, Palestine: The Graphic Novel will be the first of its kind: a Jordan-originated graphic novel unifying dozens of creative people to artistically account for, not only the tragedy that has encompassed the Palestinian people since 1948, but also, the subjugates’ persistent hope and aspiration which still shine through each and everyday.

CD Releases Words by: Greg Dukeson

From the hottest new releases in rock, indie, pop, electro, and urban sounds, Go’s glance at the albums to look forward to this month

What Go’s Listening to Right Now

Lotus Flower Radiohead The King of Limbs

Blackbird Alter Bridge Blackbird

Foo Fighters Wasting Light RCA

Since 1994 the Foo Fighters have managed to hang on to their semi-commercial coolness and that’s what makes them so credible. This new album, which is their seventh studio album, was recorded the way the band got started — using nothing but front-man David Grohl’s garage analog-equipment. The Foo even offered fans the chance to win a private performance in their own garages so clearly the band are proud of their raw sound. Track highlights include "Bridge Burning," "Rope," and the much calmer "Dear Rosemary." We just hope that the opening words on "Bridge" when Grohl sings, “These are my famous last words,” don’t turn out to be true! Release Date: 12 April Reason to go listen to it: Because the Foo Fighters make “real rock” the way we dreamed of making it when we were kids!

Bob Dylan

Don’t Look Back

Music fans know what a massive influence Bob Dylan is on today’s musicians and this is a chance to get up close, in Blu-Ray quality. with a legend. Out 26 April, this documentary, originally made in the 60s, follows Dylan in England from hotel to concert with a generous helping of conversation. You’ll discover something new each time you watch this and you'll definitely watch it more than once! 68 | APR. 2011

Raveonettes Raven in the Grave VICE

The Raveonettes take rock and turn it into haunting melodies with electronic synthesizers. Front-woman Sharin Foo’s voice delivers lyrics seamlessly complementing Sune Rose Wagner’s control over everything musical. They were “discovered” in 2001 at Denmark’s SPOT Festival and immediately the race was on to sign them! They’ve never really achieved mainstream chart success but their music has been used in a number of TV shows. We like them as they have that, “wow, who’s that you’re listening to?!” factor! Release Date: 5 April Reason to go listen to it: Because you’re a trendsetter, not a sheep!

Gorillaz The Fall Virgin/EMI Records

Originally released as a free digital download off of the Gorillaz’s Website for members of the band’s fan club Sub-Division, The Fall receives its physical release mid-April for the rest of us. The Gorillaz fictional front-man 2D revealed that this album is, “just me and an iPad really mucking about.” And these are just a few of the apps used to make the album: SoundyThingie; Mugician; Funk Box; Harmonizer; and Dub Siren. A revolutionary idea, but we’d expect nothing less than technology driven tracks from a virtual band! Release Date: 18 April Reason to go listen to it: Because despite being a band of fictional members, they make better music than lots of real bands out there!

Royce Da 5’9” Success is Certain TBA Patience Nas & Damian Marley Distant Relatives

Rope Foo Fighters Wasting Light

Interstate Love Song Stone Temple Pilots Purple

In case you don’t know Royce Da 5’9”, be warned, as quickly as he makes friends, he’s pretty good at falling out with them! He’s a good friend of Eminem and to this day, is signed by Shady Records — he did manage to fall out with every member of Eminem’s former band D12 though and then refused Dr. Dre’s orders to ditch his manager. However, they’re all good friends again and Royce is back doing what he does best! The words flow, the beats rock, and as the album title suggests, Success is Certain! Release Date: 26 April Reason to go listen to it: Because you wouldn't want Royce to catch you without it!

Dirty Vegas Electric Love Om Records

Made up of Ben and Paul Harris on instruments and Steve Smith on vocals, these guys formed in 2001, then broke up four years later before getting back together in 2008. They’re most famous track-to-date is, “Days Go By,” that charted high in the UK and US Dance Charts. With chart success, TV music scores, and a Grammy behind them, Electric Love has fans of house music buzzing. The video that goes with the album’s title track “Electric Love” is awesome and is best played loud! Release Date: 26 April Reason to go listen to it: Because you need something great to play as the weather gets better, and sexy-house is the answer!

Local Beats Reader’s Pick

Epic Artistic Albums

Thaer Musleh

The Mars Volta

De-Loused in the Comatorium

Go’s Ramzi Ghurani tracked down beatbox artist Thaer Musleh to catch up with this upand-coming star

Universal Records Released: June 2003 This debut studio album is actually based on a short story written by the band’s lead singer about a troubled man called Cerpin Taxt. Why? Because this intricate hour-long tale merges musicianship with literature creating an intense blend of art.

Go: When did you start and how'd you get into it? Thaer Musleh: I started seven years ago as a popper by complete fluke as my friends, who knew I had popping abilities, put me in the same room as JT’s, “Rock Your Body” music video and I just wouldn’t stop. That’s when I discovered that I could beatbox and beatbox well. Go: Which genre of music had the most influence on you? TM: Hip-hop! I love its music and culture, and it’s been the only way by which I could say what I want. For that I thank hip-hop. Go: Which artists had the most influence on you? TM: When I was a kid I used to listen to Arabic singers like Fairouz, Abdel Halim, and Um Kulthum. But when I was well into my teens I got seriously into Snoop, 2pac, Biggie, Ice Cube, and hip-hop in general! Go: What events have you done in Amman? TM: I’ve performed at the UNICEF Youth Day (where H. M. Queen Rania was also in

The Rolling Stones

attendance), Souq JARA, the Dead Sea Marathon, Amman’s Street Art Fair, and Graffiti for Gaza. I also participated during comedian Nemer Abu Nassar‘s, “Epic the Tour.” Go: What is the one thing you want people to know about you? TM: I love what I do and I’m not going to stop no matter what! Go: What is playing in your car or on your iPod at the moment? TM: A great song called, “Finjan” by the Syrian rapper Omar Offendum. Go: What does the future hold for Thaer?

The Complete Singles (1971-2006) These guys were, and are, everything that rock ‘n’ roll became famous for — from innovative sounds to awe-inspiring lyrics to their flamboyant lifestyle. The Rolling Stones managed to maintain their coolness where other bands humbly vanished into obscurity or, to take the title of one of their most famous tracks, they just refused to, “Fade Away.” This 45 CD set, out 19 April, should sit proudly in your cabinet and be played at full volume when you can’t get no satisfaction!

TM: I live for the moment so I really don’t know! Go: Can you describe yourself in a few words? TM: Honest, respectful, and a good guy. At least that’s what my friends say about me ;) Go: Any shout outs? TM: A shout out to all the people who love hip-hop or are trying to deliver a message through hiphop, and to those who, like me, get a rush when performing live on stage. Go: Any last words? TM: I just wish for peace all over the world, especially here in the Arab world. GSquared Productions top 5 rhythmic tracks for April

Virgin Released: March 2001 Daft Punk’s second release topped charts across the world and provided the entire soundtrack to anime musical film, Interstella 5555. Why?

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) Director: David Yates Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson Release Date: 15 April Genre: Adventure/ Fantasy MPAA Rating: PG-13

As the second-to-last film in this blockbuster series, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 escalates the tension growing among the witches and wizards now that Voldemort is back. The first movie in the series to not take place at Hogwarts, we follow Harry, Hermione, and Ron across the British countryside as they attempt to hunt down the hidden Horcruxes to save the world — both magical and non-magical — from the diabolical grip of Lord Voldemort. The disc(s) will include: Additional scenes for those who just can’t get enough Potter, as well as a look behind the movie’s magnificent soundtrack.

This dark and moving film — based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s Tony Award winning play — follows the ever-surprising paths of Becca and Howie as they each attempt to piece their life back together and make their way back to normalcy after drifting dangerously apart. The disc(s) will include: Audio Commentary from the movie’s Director, Writer, and Director of Photography, in addition to deleted scenes.

The King’s Speech (2010) Director: Tom Hooper Cast: Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter Release Date: 19 April Genre: Drama/Comedy MPAA Rating: R

Winner for "Best Picture," "Best Director," "Best Actor," and "Best Original Screenplay" at this year’s Academy Awards (not to mention breaking Oscar records by receiving more nominations than any film previously), The King’s Speech depicts the story of Britain’s King George VI (Firth). Plagued by a stutter, King George VI must overcome this impediment to make a radio broadcast that could unite his country at the start of World War II. The disc(s) will include: a “Making Of” featurette, extended and deleted scenes, as well as audio commentary from the movie’s cast and crew.

Urban Culture Movies Lords of Dogtown (2005) Director: Catherine Hardwicke Cast: Heath Ledger, Emile Hirsch, Victor Rasuk This film follows the surf and skateboarding trends that originated in Venice, California during the 1970s. Why? Because skateboarding wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t for the talents of these three boys. Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) Director: Banksy Cast: Banksy, Thierry Guetta, Space Invader The story of how an eccentric French shopkeeper and amateur filmmaker tried to locate the world’s most notorious street artist. Why? Because though we’re still not sure if it's a spoof or not, the in-depth look into the clandestine world of street art is a first. Persepolis (2007) Director: Vincent Paronnaud, Marjane Satrapi Cast: Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve A poignant coming-of-age story of an outspoken Iranian girl, which begins during the Islamic Revolution. Why? Because Marji’s story of trying to find herself in a constantly changing world hits home with our transitory modern lifes. Save the Last Dance (2001) Director: Thomas Carter Cast: Julia Stiles, Sean Patrick Thomas, Fredro Starr Sara is a ballerina who must adapt quickly to her new life in Chicago's rough South Side. Why? Because this film about overcoming obstacles through urban arts — like hiphop — is an uplifting and resonant story.

Hey DJ! Go chats with Spin Jordan’s Hasan Hijjawi to discuss all things music related

Go: How long have you been a radio DJ for? How did you start? Hasan Hijjawi: Well I’ve been a DJ/Producer for about 15 years now but just recently got into the radio thing. So it’s been about three years now that I’ve been on air. Go: What is your opinion on the music scene here in Jordan? Who are some of your favorite local artists? HH: The music scene here is so underrated and many times overlooked I think. There is so much talent emerging every year but unfortunately the local scene doesn’t invest much in them. As for local talents, I don’t know where to begin. There are some outstanding DJs and producers I really believe in like Khaled Nimry, Ali Hayari, Flava, Exoda, Hovsep, Avidbold,

Kalice, Raed Abu Yousef, and Nugbi just to name a few. As for musicians I know there’s way too many but off the top of my head these names come to mind: Humam Ammari; Hanna Gargour; Hana Malhas; Tamer Gharghour; and Ayah Marar. The list can go on forever so I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting many. Go: What kind of music do you mostly like to listen to during your downtime? HH: Literally everything. I’ve really been into down tempo nu-disco and electronica. Tons of straight up house music — just basic, groovy, funky house. Go: What do you think of this “Auto-Tune” phenomenon? HH: I'm not a big fan. Actually, I’m

not crazy about it at all but I’ll give it some credit for being interesting. Go: What do you think about the free downloading of music from applications like LimeWire, eMule, and BitTorrent? HH: It has its pros and its cons. I used to use those programs a lot but after releasing my own music, I realized that it’s the artists and the producers who suffer the most from Name 5 tracks you’re currently the free downloading of music.

Ironclad

Director: Jonathan English Cast: Kate Mara, Derek Jacobi, Paul Giamatti Genre: Action MPAA Rating: N/A The year is 1215. King John (Giamatti) has been forced to sign the Magna Carta, a document that will ensure the freedom of men and form the basis of common law in England. Furious at having been forced to sign it, King John raises a vicious mercenary army and begins a rampage across the country to regain total power. But as the King’s army is on the brink of reaching London and taking back control of the country, one last castle stands between him and inevitable victory: Rochester. Gathered together by Baron Albany, a small band of rebel warriors meet inside Rochester intent on holding off King John until reinforcements arrive. The band includes a Templar Knight whose wracked with guilt over the atrocities he has committed and his burgeoning feelings for Isabel (Mara), the beautiful and lonely wife of the aging Reginald de Cornhill (Jacobi). Also gathered are battle-hardened mercenaries such as Beckett, who fight not for God and country, but for money and bloodlust, and young soldiers like Guy, who’ll taste blood and battle for the first time – and perhaps the last.

For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Oldman), to help them kill

Blogger of the Month

Mike V. Derderian

Age: 32 Nationality: Jordanian (Armenian parts proudly assembled in H.K.J.) Blog Name: Brick in the Head Blog URL: brickinthehead. wordpress.com

Thoughts from Inside a Sardine Can (my attempt at writing in Arabic), Stand Up, and La Danse Macabre (pieces dedicated to humor). Being an ex-journalist you can never shake off the interviewer in you. Whenever I meet an interesting individual with amazing work, I blog about it, like the interview that I conducted with Japanese comic artist and creator of Grendizer and Mazinger Z, Go Nagai.

Go: How long have you been blogging for? Mike Derderian: I've been blogging since September 2009. Go: What got you into it? MD: Writing and a need for freedom of self-expression! I wanted to continue writing after quitting a six-year career in journalism. Any piece you submit to a newspaper or a magazine reflects your take on a subject, be it social, political, or artistic, however, it doesn’t necessarily reflect your true self. Blogging is about the individuality that is often lost in the collective Arabian mentality of the “us” before the “I.” I am seeking the truth behind the “I” so I can somehow, and begrudgingly, blend into the “us.”

Quick Qs: Blogger or WordPress? WordPress! Copyright or copyleft? Both! Each serves a purpose. Mac or PC? PC! Didn’t

Go Sudoku!

So film noir-esque series Na’meh wella khishneh? of existential essays Go: How did you come up with the metaphorically speaking I only eat kna’feh when name, “Brick in the Head”? I want to extract all these forced. When that happens entitled, The Diarrhea MD: It's from The Matrix. Morpheus bricks (ideas and words) of a Midnight Crawler, I go for na’meh. says, “You’ve felt it your entire life, out of my skull and about life and Amman. that there’s something wrong with shove them into the skulls of others. I also have Sleepless Samurai, a the world. You don’t know what it is, story for a graphic novel that I am but it’s there, like a splinter in your Go: What are your favorite things writing through my Facebook status, mind, driving you mad.” which I update with a new paragraph to blog about? Now if you take that line and go every Thursday. There are also, MD: I mostly blog about movies,

Ahead of the Game

May might be a month away but at Go, we’re always looking ahead

Jordan’s 1st Natural & Organic Food Expo On 18 May, the Kingdom will play host to a first-of-its-kind expo at the Amman International Motor Show (Younes Islam St., Al Thaheer). Organized by Jadwal Expo Company, the 1st Natural & Organic Food Expo will provide a wide range of natural products, sustainable technologies, services, and practical advice to buyers and sellers both on a local and an international level. For more information, call (079) 594 9455 or visit www.organicfood-jo.com.

Go: If you were stuck on a desert island and could access only one social media site, which would it be? MD: It must be some mean stateof-the-art wireless connection to get Internet on a desert island! I don’t know if the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) counts because it's my favorite cyber hangout. But if it has to be a social media site then it's Facebook because it helps me publish my work and keeps me connected to a lot of amazing people in Jordan and abroad! Go: How do you think social media in Jordan is faring today? MD: I'm no social media pundit! I just write, draw comics, and blog whenever I have the time to do so. Go: What is your piece of advice for someone who’s looking to enter into the blogosphere? MD: Just go for it. A blog is about you and your opinions. It’s great to share your ideas with the world. Don’t let the sticks, stones, typed words, and comments stop you!

Be sure to pick up Go’s May issue where we’ll be focusing on all things FOOD related! Yummy!
