Jewish Music (New CDs, hock, and opinions)

[YitzyS]

I think Bakashos is available in digital format, I can check and let you know. I got it on tape a few years ago, when Mostly music still sold tapes. As a side note, Motti Katz composed a song "Haposayach Yad" which is not on his tape, but is a beautiful song. I heard it by a Kumzitz a while back. I would love to find out if there's a recorded version somewhere.

I was in the middle of listening to the new Shwekey CD(love it) on Spotify and all of a sudden it turned off. Now it's completely gone. Any idea what happened there?

Maybe they took it off.  I just recently noticed that the newest Fried album which I heard many times on spotify disappeared.

Would anyone think that this is a Jewish CD?

That looks like something they would sell by the check out counters at Whole Foods.

WHat is Jewish about it?

If I'd have to guess, it would either be the dudes or the mountain.

MBD was supposed to come out with his new Album at around Tu B'shvat.....any one knows what's the actual time it's being released?

[YitzyS]

It was reported on social media that MBD pushed off release until Rosh Chodesh Ader in order to add 2 more songs.

Does anyone know if the female characters on Shmuel Kunda tapes (Zelda, Mrs. Pipkin etc.) were performed by a woman, or a man? No halacha/hashkafa issues, just curious....

Anyone else here compose songs? It seems to me at least that it's hard to get any quality singer to seriously consider anything (time to drain the swamp ).. If there's anyone else out there in same situation- maybe we can work on something together.. (Or at least start a new "composers corner" thread)

As this album was coming together, I kept getting this feeling that as we were maturing and evolving our styles, it was giving me the same feelings that Fried’s CD’s in the 90’s gave me. Something that I was becoming very proud and nostalgic about. One day, while driving to a job in Lakewood, I got this email from a composer who no one had heard of. Because he was just a Bochur. The demo was simply him singing into an iphone voice recorder. No fancy demo, no music, no shtick, aside from his tapping on the table while he sang. The song was so simple and perfect. It moved gently, and seamlessly. It felt classic, but at the same time I knew this could be something very fun. For all those composers convinced you need a big name, and to spend 100’s of or even 1000’s of dollars on fancy demos, don’t! Sometimes you just need a good melody. Benny and I turned to each other, started singing the song together and just said “this is a great song! Who composed it??” It was a done deal by the time we even reached Lakewood.

It's definitely piTkin not piPkin.

I think my brother once told me that Mr Osbourne was in Staten Island Yeshiva with him
