And You Will Know Us By the Trail Of Our Vinyl...
In  a move that is, most likely, a first in the annals of historical study, this site tells "the history of Jews in America" through a parade of old LP covers (though the "history" claim may be disputed almost immediately). Collected, posted, and liberally doused with comments by Hippo and Campus, "two nonagenarian friends for life," this project is breathtaking in its sweep. Who would think—ever—of equating music for Jewish aerobics with Marion Jones and steroid testing? And besides their sunny locale, do the Miami Choir Boys and the Miami Heat have anything in common? Now they do. From Hebrew versions of Simon and Garfunkel to "Hanukah Rocks!" and "Jewish-American Songs for the Jet Set," this site brings to light decades of backlit, meticulously posed, luxuriously large album covers and equates them, outrageously, with whatever comes to mind. And for that we say Mazeltov, Mis Amigos! (in Music Humor) |
