Stirring the Soul
I apologize for my weekend absence. I enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Memphis, TN for a wedding. Between Graceland, Beale Street, and the Stax Museum of Soul Music, I really got the 24 hour tour of this musical city. I myself don't really enjoy listening to music that much, but I was still struck by how serious a role music plays in the cultural fabric down there.
On a related note, with all the attention being given to the "emerging" trend of Jewish music videos (a la Lipa and David Lavon), I thought it was important to take a step back and acknowledge what I consider the inspirational granddaddy of all Jewish music videos. Many of you may already have seen this, but you can never really have too much.

just watched the video. so that's where "yiddin" comes from?! imagine these people watching the girls dance at a jewish wedding.
Josh - I don't think I'll ever again be able to hear the band start up this song without bursting out in uncontrollable laughter. And nobody will be able to understand why - and if they do, I'll know they're also a secret lurker on your blog! Thanks for the great links, and for the great writing!
Hey guys - I'm on my way to Israel tonight. Don't know when I'll get a chance to blog next, but I'll be gone until January 23rd.
Thanks everyone.
Shosh - "Cool Beans?" Welcome to 1995.
GG - It's crazy what Google Video is doing for Jewish Creativity. There is same great (and some disturbing) stuff out there!
Yiddishe Lipa - Pretty soon Five Towns Radio will have it's own MTV-Style music video feed if people keep following Lipa's lead. But I'm not the biggest (Jewish) music fan, so while it's sociologically interesting, I won't be leading the charge. Although I do have some ideas for some funny shtik!

MH - You'll see right above the box where you write comments the line "You can use some HTML tags, such as <*b*>, <*i*>, <*a*>" HTML is the computer language that most websites are written in. A tag is the code that is used to differentiate between the regular text you are writing and the text that tells the computer to do something different, like write in bold. To break apart the text that you want to show from the text that is just for the computer to translate, there is a beginning tag and an ending tag. They are always surrounded by the <> characters, and the ending tag gets a <*/*> in the middle. Inside the <> goes whatever tag you want to use ("i" for italics, "b" for bold, "u" for underline, "a" for link). Whatever text is between the tags will have the special effect. For a link, you also add in href="http://yourwebsitehere.com" in the opening tag. That directs the computer to where you want it to go. I hope this makes sense.
Of course, when you're writing a post, you can just use the little Hyperlink icon (I think it looks like one link of a chain) to just insert it automatically.
