9/1/05 Link Dump

The YU Commentator has an article on secular music and Chassidic camps. A taste:
Apparently, all Lubavitch camps have similar policy. This year in Gan Israel Detroit I came across similar circumstances. Deli Braffman and Berky Berkowitz, a couple of teen campers who visited my infirmary, informed me of an even stricter criterion.

"We are allowed to listen to any Jewish music on personal headsets, but public music on a boom box in a bunk house is limited. The artists that they listed as banned are Blue Fringe, Matisyahu (a self proclaimed Lubavitcher himself) and Kinderlach," they explained to me.
L-o-R is calling out Mostly Music again!

Speaking of... here's a Mostly Music promo via the Yahoo JM group. It's a blurb for "Special Moments", a wedding album featuring Shloime Dachs and Mendy Wald. The copy:
Lakewood and MIR are out if the freezer. GEAR UP for wedding season with this album for the special moments.
M.B. on M.B.D.

Finally, Mazal Tov to Matisyahu on the bris of his new son and to Yahoo JM Group founder M!ndy on the birth of a baby boy!
