War! Good God, ya'll! what is it good for?
Available from The Wire's mp3 library, here is a rather sobering recording of Lebanese improvising trumpeter Mazen Kerbaj "duetting with the Israeli Air Force" as it drops bombs around his Beruit apartment.
Mazen Kerbaj - "Starry Night (excerpt)" (download) or (stream)
At first, it sounds like some interesting (if you are into this sort of thing, and I am) droney noodling on the trumpet until you get 1:30 into it.
More info on the artist, including some very cool informal artwork like the piece above, can be found at these
