Purim Media

The Klezmer Shack links to the Austin Klezmorim's definitive hipster take on tonight's story, the "Big Megillah." Awesome!

HyperSemitic's Adam Soclof emails about HamanSong.com, which we'd linked earlier.
" We're getting very positive feedback from educators, who are using it in their classrooms. Please feel free to post to your blog, and to use our as a "Chag Sameach" greeting for family and friends"
Michoel Pruzansky has released a Purim video of one of his songs.

Here's a Yiddish Alef-Beis song from Kobi Arieli's show on Purim a while ago. Not politically correct, but strangely compelling.

Here's a short clip of the classic Bobover Purim song "Pirim Luni" which was composed by the Bobover Rebbe, Harav Ben Zion Halberstam, grandfather of the current Bobover Rebbe.

Here's a longer video clip of the Purim Seuda at Bobov last year.
Check out Layhidim at 2:56 or so. Here's a short snippet of just that melody.

Here's another "Trink Seuda" video. The lyrics for the A and B of Tzomo have been reversed. V'nahafoch hu?

Finally, a Purim skit from Efrat: "Husband Gemach!"
