I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Carl, I'm of the stringent halachic opinion that not only are you permitted to listen to that music during the 3 weeks - you are OBLIGATED to, in order to increase one's suffering and mourning.
If anything, it is now forbidden to listen to that music under the trangression of Tza'ar ba'alei chaim.
Shy Guy, all Israel needs is big loudspeakers to pump that music 24/7 through Gaza and I'm sure the Tza'ar Ba'alei Chaim would most heartily approve. It is forbidden to Jews but it would be yasher koach to make the life of the enemies of Israel truly miserable.
Heh
