I Miss the Poshiter Yid

He wouldn't have shilled for CBD gum with kosher certification, I don't think.

Just Stop It!

I have to say this!

It's becoming a thing to do the Shlomo Carlebach bit in the middle of Im Eshkachech. "If you would have stop a Yiddele on the way to the gas chamber and ask him 'where are you going?' He'd have answered: 'I'm on my way to Yerusholayim'... etc." I've had several singers do this at gigs I played.

I can not express how tasteless I feel this is. I have no words. Just chills. You all need to stop it; not post video clips of yourselves doing it. For goodness sakes, there are still survivors at some of these events and there are many children (and grandchildren) of survivors. Maybe Shlomo could pull this off (I'm not convinced). You, however, definitely can't.

Shavous Is Coming

A Karaite setting of an ancient piyut for Shavuot. It's apparently unclear if the author, Elyakim, was Karaite or Rabbinic.

Eschew Censorship

Came across this channel the other day. Someone, presumably a Chasid/Yeshiva community member, who wanted to be able to listen to secular pop instrumentals with plausible deniability, uploaded an album of "Munkatcher nigunim" to YouTube. Here's "Nigun L'harchakas Sheidim [a melody to keep away demons].

Can't believe it's already been ten years. A beautiful tribute to Moshe Yess Z"L... His son Tali Yess releases a cover of a song Moshe wrote to mark his tenth yahrtzeit.

From the mailbag... Orthoglocks

From the mailbag:

After a somewhat short to medium length hiatus from releasing new music, Orthoglocks is the latest (and first of 2021) Edd Bundy 'Themed' beat tape to be released.
Basically taking things back to ancestral roots, this instrumental album embodies and delves into the Jewish musical world whilst adding the usual Edd Bundy sounding Hip Hop twist on things.

The entire project is available on a "name your price" basis via Bandcamp, just trying to brighten up the day of a few people along the way in a time where importance lies on a few laughs, a few smiles and some really good Hip Hop.


Tracklisting:

01 Bund The Edd
02 Hella Greater
03 Going AvraHAM
04 Its Shalom Shot
05 Jank Coy
06 Tumbala Liker
07 Dreidilla (Skit)
08 Eights
09 Jew Shot Yananana
10 Synagogue Chess
11 Halev Ready
