Friends.
I am dying here.
There are basically no record stores. And the iTunes store doesn't work here (although illegal downloading does). AND radio here is horrid.
Send me music via snail mail! Make me a mix of your current favorites! Copy some new albums you've bought. ANYTHING.

It's about $2 to send a card/CD mailer to the UAE and it takes about 2 weeks to reach me if you send it regular speed. PLEASE PLEASE label it as a MUSIC mix on the CD. They are very freaked out by burned CDs at customs in this country because porn is banned here. Yes, I am serious.
And if you don't care enough to send CDs (yes, I just put on the guilt trip) ... at least respond by telling me some new good stuff out there so I can (SLOWLY) download it myself.
Miss you all.

Doesn't Virgin Megastores Abu Dhabi / Dubai help?
If not, there's always torrents and www.mininova.org (one of the only torrent sites not banned in the UAE)
Yes, there's one Virgin Megastore in Abu Dhabi that doesn't have ANYTHING good (it's mostly all outdated electronic). Just went to the Virgin in Dubai and it's a ton better. But I can't be making that trek every week. We're down with www.mininova.org but it doesn't have all the stuff I want.
