The Young Professionals Support Marriage Equality

The Young Professionals, the Israeli group of Ivri Lider and Johnny Goldstein who have made some great music and interesting videos have made one more, making clear their stand on Marriage Equality around the world. I mean, it should come as no surprise, since Ivri, my future husband, has been an out and proud musician for the last decade. But it is wonderful to see him continue to stand tall and proud. Enjoy this video!

The Young Professionals • Be With You Tonight

I was very excited to hear The Young Professionals - TYP - have a new song and video out from the strong album, '9AM to 5PM, 5PM to Whenever'. TYP is an Israeli band featuring Yonathan Goldshtein, as well as my future husband, Ivri Lider. So I went to check it out, and I was intrigued to discover I didn't know the song, and it wasn't on my copy of '9AM to 5PM, 5PM to Whenever'. With additional information, I learned I was referencing the 2011 release in my collection, not the 2012 re-release I seemed to not know about, with three new tracks replacing some originals. One of those tracks is "Be With You Tonight", the song featured in this video.

There is also a cover of the Lana Del Rey song, "Video Games", that I just love. Check it out if you haven't already. It is worth purchasing...
