8th Day - Love the cover; don't know why the video (not theirs!) has a male beggar.

NEW! Ker a Velt • 8th Day

Translated: Those crazy enough to think they can improve the world are the ones who do. So if you're crazy and you know it, just change the world.



This track was pre-released some months ago to benefit a good cause.

It is imperative to remind oneself of the source and implications of the phrase.  Ker a Velt heint!

One of the most famous and emotional moments remembered since the Rebbe became Rebbe on 10 Shvat in 1951.

Let's each do one extra "crazy" action by nightfall that shifts the world a tiny bit closer to the right spot. This Shabbos is the 53rd anniversary of Yud Shvat.

NEW! Never Afraid • 8th Day

We're well acquainted with the 8th Day song-mushing formula: Chassidishe Vort, check, good rhyme and rhythm, check, farbrengen explanation, nor vos?.

So, from their minutes-ago-released recording "Hooleh", here is my "let me hear that again" selection. Full review to maybe come.

Monday Matchup :: What It's All About • Morah Music

Is THIS what it's all about?

Or THIS?

According to the Urban Dictionary: Hokey Pokey is "a satanic ritual which requires one to put the right foot in and then the right foot out.Put the right foor in and shake it all about. Do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around. And that's what it all about."

**Kol Isha**

Not so simple now, is it?

Didan (Victory Song) • 8th Day

Today is the best day that today will ever be.

Lamma Balue • 8th Day

Welcome back, Divshare! We missed you bad! a

May You Blessed • 8th Day

aka, Eishes Chayil.



What eventually excited me was the time taken to think about, translate and explain the meaning of "Vatakam b'od layla," in terms of what the actual devotion of a Jewish mother is and how impressive it is.

So, thank you to my Jewish wife, mother of our Jewish daughter, for staying up at night, so I can sing this song to you in the morning. (Do you see what I did there?)

Broken Hearts • 8th Day

Things my wife taught me today: If you want them to eat apples, serve them apples. Don't scream about the evil of cotton candy.

All You Got • 8th Day

So, what do we think? These chaps have an enviable ability to cram a simple Chassidic demand into a simplistic Chassidic ditty. See this:

The music on this in particular , though, makes me think of disco-nite at the RollerRink, circa 1991.

Play Your Music - 8th Day

"They're the future, and they are shakin' to your rhythm's refrain."

Honestly, I'm not sure what the heck this song is on about, but I like.

Wake Up! - 8th Day

Wanna wake up... in Yerushalaim.

Don't Forget - 8th Day

It is to the mushpa to know where to look, to the Mashpia to remember who's looking, and to all of us to remember that we are always both.

8th Day - Yai'lili

Without gettig into the specifics of whether you liked the video or not. I think it is undeniable that this raises the bar for Jewish music videos in general.

Agreed?

Beggar Woman - 8th Day

Nishkoshe... Their new CD dropped today. It dropped.



Thanks CZ for passing it along...

Azamer - 8th Day

Good Shabbos.
