Matisyahu to win American Idol 6

Okay so maybe not to win American Idol! But I did think this interview in the Times was worth reading. I particularly like this bit.


Of course, there have always been Jewish performers in rock, from Bob Dylan to the Beastie Boys, but few as overt or as orthodox as Matisyahu. Now that Madonna has transformed the Talmudic mysteries of kabbalah into an off-the-peg celebrity cult, some media commentators are even hyping a new generation of cool Jewish rockers, citing novelty acts with names such as 50 Shekel and 2 Live Jews. But Miller winces at notions of a unified “Hebe hop” or “Hasid house” movement

I think PP and I should start our own new "Hebe-hop" band called "Habanot" our first album will be "Give it back"

with the title song - "It's only Land"

Other hits will be...

"Fell Between the Chairs (not the cracks)"

"Straight Straight until the End"

"On the Face"

..more to come
