Once again we will post the same Chanukah songs as we have done in previous years (although apparently I missed last year...oops). Thankfully I've picked up a few more along the way because it seems few Jews out there want to do any new covers for us. If you know of anything post it here or send it my way. Happy Chanukah to all my Jews! So on this 6th night of Chanukah I give you some tunes to keep you warm ( just like on the first year of this blog ). [...]
Sacha Baron Cohen has been cast to play Freddie Mercury in an upcoming film based on British band Queen. Guitarist Brian Mays told the BBC "We have Sacha Baron Cohen, which will probably be a shock to a lot of people, but he's been talking with us for a long time." The film will follow the band's rise to fame and what many see as the pinnacle of their career, Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985. The event was held simultaneously at London's Wembley stadium and Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy stadium, and broadcast to over [...]
I'm off in a few minutes to do the usual radio gig, but since tonight is the start of Hanukkah, I thought I'd drop a little gift for those who celebrate and/or appreciate that Jewish tradition. Somehow I missed Songs in the Key of Hanukkah when it came out last year, but I'll be making up for lost time this season. It's a great album from Erran Baron Cohen (yes, the brother of Sasha "Borat" Baron Cohen). As a little taste of the album, check out Orthodox Jewish rapper Y-Love's re-imagining [...]

So here we are on December 25th and I have slipped away to get online (sparse during this time of the year as sitting next to the glow of the world wide web is not considered festive....pardon me??). So basically just a quick post to say thanks to all those readers and vistors of the blog and fellow friends and family. Slowcoustic thanks all of ya! Well Christmas (or Xmas as I know it...long story) was good, my mother flew in to visit and so it is nice to see family this time of year. Of course endless [...]
Thankfully we have a few more Chanukah tunes than last year to share with you, hopefully more pop up this holiday season but I will not hold my breath. Also why are there four different ways to spell Chanukah, Chanukkah, Hanukah, Hanukkah??? So on this second day of Chanukah I will give you the gift of covers. The tunes for the most part are not along the line of the usual songs I post here but given the limited choices out there I'll take all I can get. The Save Ferris song is not a literal cover, more [...]

Songs In The Key Of Hanukkah was created and produced by composer and multi-instrumentalist Erran Baron Cohen, brother of Ali G and Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen. In an attempt to give Hanukkah music a makeover, Cohen brings a selection of new as well as holiday standards. "Look For The Light," is both the standout and most straight forward song on the album, coming complete with a chorus that will surely have you thinking of G. Harrison's "My Sweet Lord." Recorded in London, Berlin and Tel Aviv, the songs combine klezmer, reggae, electronica, hip hop, tango, pop and other [...]
If music notes were colors, Dim Dim would be the brightest rainbow imaginable. Dim Dim is back with its sixth full-length album, Whip (Audio Dregs) and an obsession for all forms of sonic pop culture. Tossing fistfuls of guitar, ukulele, programmed beats, twisted synth and toy instruments into a blender, Dim Dim hits "liquefy", and surfs the sonic mixture as it spills across his musical universe. Deconstructing all things known and leaving a trail of brightly colored debris, Dim Dim has turned his back to the norm and rip-shredded a technicolored path to a genre unknown. [...]
I wasn't sure what to expect when I began listening to Songs In The Key Of Hanukkah. And after a few times through I'm still not sure what I heard. Erran Baron Cohen, brother of Sacha, is the mastermind behind this project. The album features many traditional Jewish Hanukkah songs reinterpreted for today's music listening public. The songs are mostly electronically backed with flares of Spanish, funk, and jazz inspiration. Funky horn flourishes on tracks like "Dreidel" make much of the album a rump-shaking club [...]
