  • 8 Radio Stations Will Pay Tribute To Gavin Ford With A Special Show This Week

    To all those who loved the late Gavin Ford and tune to his morning show on Radio One, you will will definitely find solace in listening a tribute show for him that will air on the 7th of December between 9AM and 10AM on 8 Lebanese radio stations (Radio One, Virgin Radio, Mix FM, NRJ, Light FM, Nostalgie, Fame FM and Power FM).

    There is no doubt Gavin was a quite loved media personality and his show Gavin Ford In The Morning left a mark in the industry, that’s why he certainly deserves this gesture by the participating radio stations.

  • A tribute to Kibbeh Nayyeh

    Joking aside, Kibbeh Nayyeh is probably the best Lebanese food selection, and is best made at the southern villages of Lebanon.

    LYRICS:

    I went downstairs to the fridge
    looking for some kind of dish
    maybe kabob or some riz
    but you were in my way

    So that is when I tried
    to reach to the other side
    to maybe get spinach pie
    but you were in my way

    Meat overflowing
    ripped leaf mint was showing
    olive oil a-flowing
    I like where this is going

    Hey, I just met you
    and this is crazy
    but I want to eat you
    kibbeh nayeh

    Hey, I just met you
    but you look tasty
    I’m gonna eat you
    kibbeh nayeh

    I don’t know how long it’s been
    that you’ve been there in the fridge
    I do not want to get sick
    cuz you were in my way

    Because you’re raw and not fried
    don’t want to get E coli
    because then I would have to die
    cuz you were in my way

    Meat overflowing
    ripped leaf mint was showing
    olive oil a-flowing
    Appetite is growing

    [CHORUS]

    Before you came into my life, I wasn’t so fat
    I wasn’t so fat. I wasn’t so so fat
    Before you came into my life, I wore the small pants
    and you should know that I’m getting so so fat.

    Reminds me of the Lahme song

  • Michael Jackson tribute – Beirut mass Moonwalk

    I know I’m a bit late for publishing this post but I had a hectic weekend! Anyway, a mass moonwalk was held in Gemmayze street, on Friday 26th of June, as a tribute to Michael Jackson. The whole thing started on Twitter and I honestly expected it to be more like a small gathering, however thanks to Blogging Beirut‘s author and other active users on Twitter it turned into an impromptu concert celebrating Michael Jackson’s life and songs in the heart of Gemmayze facing Saint-Nicolas stairs.

    I was there with my camera and got these photos to share with you.

    Moonwalkers orignally wanted to do their dance in the middle of the street near Torino, and started by lighting candles…

    But policemen had a problem with it since moonwalkers were blocking the traffic!

    After solving things out, moonwalkers headed to Saint Nicolas stairs.
