This is how Sefer Tehillim begins: Ashrei ha'ish asher lo halach b'atzas risha'im, uviderech chata'im lo omad, uvimoshav leitzim lo yashav. Perhaps, colloquially: Lucky is the perceptive listener who would not mistake peer pressure for sound advice. Lucky is the person who does not get lost in the mob of popular opinion. Lucky is the one who can leave a party when there are only poopers left. And good luck to the rest of us. :)
Obviously, the chief excitement here is the Miri ben Fantastic violin! She recorded a Jewish music collection some years ago featuring all the usual suspects plus Gershon Veroba in a parody called The Rabbi Went Down to Georgia. Miri is really fantastic on that track :)
Striking to me as well is the theme of repentance that runs through Rosh Chodesh. Mussaf, tehillim, se'ir izim echod lichatas, and so forth.
As it is written in the Lessons in Tanya: Ritualistic adherence to the supernal endorphines that counterinterrelate amongst the qualitative immersiveness of a ritualarium, can and must exclusively extricate their sins through chibut hakever.
