Maccabeats Beat 'em All
Had nothing to do today as I took an unpaid day off to see a doc about my carpal tunnel syndrome which has been festering for over twenty-seven years and getting worse (it hoits) and in the early evening I visited Dov Bear's blog (boredom can drive one to do strange things sometimes...) and read his dissing of the Maccabeats relative to another group singing a Chanukah song. I hadn't been on the bandwagon, and so hadn't heard the Maccabeats sing.
After reading DB's post and listened to the group whose video he posted, I decided to watch one the Maccabeats' videos. I am hooked. There is no question that the latter (that's the Maccabeats, to you) is better. They have a great ear for music, are on key, harmonize beautifully, and do it a cappella, for gosh sake. Basically, it's like this: if I were a guy, I would've gone to YU and been in that choir. That's it. Maybe in my next gilgul...
I mean, they sing Matisyahu better than Matisyahu. Am ending a difficult Chanukah on a happier note (pun intended). Give a listen.
