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].

"World Of Good" Arranged and Performed by Tali Yess Lyrics by Moshe Yess OBM

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.
