Ba'avur Dovid - Helfgot

If anyone has a copy of the orginal (no idea who its from), please post it. Thanks.

Evën Sh'siyah - Ta'amu U'reu

Evën Sh'siyah - Yerushalayim

In your sleep, I will feed them to you; one track at a time—one rocking, bass-driven track at a time—will you come to adore the Rock of Foundation. Take two doses of this first one and listen out for the English bridge at 3:28. Mellowest vocals, temimusdikkest lyrics.

Amen! Amen! Amen! - Jo Amar

I swear I want to post "Lashir" again, but, ya know... Anyhoo, this is "Livracha" but it is more like Amen! Amen! Amen! (Amen!).



From a fan (paraphrased): It's a bit eerie that you posted MJ and he died, you posted Jo Amar and he died. There is a beautiful single by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that you should really post...

Boruch Dayan Ha'Emes - Jo Amar

Mizrachi Music Pioneer Jo Amar Passes Away

Below is "Barcelona."

IMPORTANT BLOG UPDATE:*

We are switching from imeem to divshare!!

*I guess it's funny to have an "important update" on an unimportant blog.**
**I guess it's funnier to make a distinction between important and unimportant blogs.

Haftorah - Midnight Minyan

OH my G-d!!! What a fantasticly brilliant piece! Enjoy.
HT: DeePee.



One may click through to the actual iMeem page to listen to this piece in its brilliant entirety, provided one washes one's hands before clicking, and follows the click with the blessing "...Who has blessed us and required us to perform the clicking of the mouses." One who clicked* his mouse but forgot to say the blessing, may continue listening to the song until the end but should place a sizable donation into a charity envelope and send it to my house. If two people listen to the song together and one of them is tone-deaf, the second one may forcibly prevent his friend** from singing along by mockingly insisting that he is not doing too bad for amateur harmony.***

*Other versions: Clucked.
**Many authorities maintain that one should re-evaluate friendships with tone-deaf people in the first place. What drew you to them if not music? Seriously, what? Conversation?
***I dunno why. To the whole thmajing.

Lashir - Jo Amar

Repost.

No one liked it then, so here it is again. (Please note that no human logic was employed and no brain cells were harmed in the creation of the previous statement.) Peretz: Your comment there reminded me of my comment after your comment there.

We Are the World - Michael Jackson

How much do I love choruses? Four. On a scale of one to two. Everyone who was ever anyone--and some people who still are--makes an appearance. שבת אחים גם יחד



and the Jewish "inspired-by" version...

Chazak Ameinu - We Stand As One

Di Kedusha Leibt - Mendy Wald

Another beautiful Yiddish song proving how Jewish music can be original and heartfelt without copying secular trends.

I was especially moved by the story chosen for this tune... a sacred servant of G-d going to his death for his beliefs. This is a uniquely Jewish concept.



Diss iss a jawk.

Ana Avda - Berele Chagay

Avi/Levi, I dont mean to steal the thunder of the video, but i just came accross this in my playlist; loved it, shared it. Enjoy.

אבי דער זינגער געהייסן האט ער

א פשוטער מערלאט אבער א פיינער שטימע
וואס מער געדרייט ווערט זיסער דעם קול
א שמייכל אויפן פנים און א פינגער אויף דעם קאפ
אוי! וואס א ביסעלע וויין קען טאן

Avi Singing -

What's Wrong With Lipa?

Not as much as I once thought. Seems his Lion King parodies float to the top of the pile while he has an extensive discography of actual, um, music. Like in this song, Lipa is a freakintasticly poetic lyricist, mediocrabulous singer and a decencredible arranger. And he's actually realy, really good. Unfortunately, I've already given this what they call "The Avi Treatment" at work and I can no longer bear to listen.

Into your hands I commend my song.

Sickest Shit You'll Ever Hear

That is the official name of this video. :)
