One Day






From Wiki:

an American Hasidic Jewish reggae musician. Known for blending traditional Jewish themes with Reggae, rock and hip hop beat-boxing sounds.

Live performances so rarely rock. this one does.

I was just listening to Brian May on Fresh Air, and he estimated - I can't remember the number - something like 90 vocal tracks on Bohemian Rhapsody, and I remembered this single, which also has the incredibly layered vocals on it. Nobody takes the time to layer the vocals like this anymore, even though they did it to tape when Queen was recording.

i have a buddy who loves this one:

I LOVE that song. The production is awesome, just chock-full o' soul! It's not the "fuck you", it's the "Ooo Ooo Oooo!"

If it's successful -- and damn it's at 3 million plays right now -- it will be further evidence of the irrelevancy of radio.

Nice groove!

Damn..thats great! And people are just diggin it. I would love to see more of this stuff come out.

ETA: oh shit, he does Crazy. I love that song.

If you know the words, SING ALONG!

This is a great song but very NSFW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Yll4tpdis

I like The Shins

Now, I'm not a huge fan of this song, but one day it was on here and one of the former sales manglers walked by my office singing "H.R. Puffnstuff" so that's all I can hear when it comes on (which is what made me think of it)

The T-Birds rock!

ETA: Willie is either lost or high as hell.
