Heeb n Vegan just reviewed the record and i think you will agree with what he had to say!!!

Check out the interview The NY Blueprint conducted with everyone’s favorite Comptroller by day, punk rocker by night, neither gangsta, nor rabbi, the one and only Gangsta Rabbi

Steve Lieberman is neither a gangsta nor a rabbi. But he is a tough punk rocker who says his faith in God has helped him get through some tumultuous trials and tribulations, including a short stint in a psychiatric ward, losing his house in a fire, and three failed marriages. He’s also started his own sect of Judaism. And after recording 16 albums, his 17th effort “DikTator 17,” helped him get signed to JDub Records for a digital release.

JDub is pumped to announce the digital release of Monsters & Healers, the debut LP from Atlanta-based Can!!Can.

Can!!Can is a hard rocking band fascinated with spirituality and traditional texts in a decidedly nontraditional setting. Songs like “Giants” (You build an altar/You find a priest/Two tablets tell us what to do and say and feel and think) and “God Lives in NYC” (In the city of forbidden fruit/Child, you know you’ll touch the sky/HaShem brings a beautiful light/Bottled up when the city’s alive) illustrate Can!!Can’s complex understanding that mythology, spirituality and rock ‘n roll are inextricably tied together.

You can buy the album from iTunes or Amazon on July 6th.
Exclusive opportunity for JDub fans! Download it TODAY for $4.99!

People may know the songs and albums he’s played on more than his name, but a bona fide musical icon from the 1960s made Aliyah to Israel last year.  Harvey Brooks has played bass guitar on some of the most groundbreaking records of the post-Beatles era - including Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited (1965), Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew (1969), The Doors’ The Soft Parade (1969) and 1968’s Super Session featuring Michael Bloomfield, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills. And that’s only a fraction of the some 100 albums he’s appeared on or produced over the past 40 years on his way to cementing his status as one of the most respected figures on the American music scene. Brooks and his family currently live in Jerusalem. Click here to watch the YNET interview.

Some of the top names of Israeli, German and Palestinian Hip Hop will gather this Wednesday at the Yellow Submarine in Jerusalem to make connections and bust some dope rhymes. Organized by Heartbeat Jerusalem and the Willy Brandt Center, in association with Corner Prophets. If you’re in J-Town this week, make sure you’re there.

Critically acclaimed indie songstress Clare Burson and historic gastronomist Sarah Lohman are joining forces to present a unique evening of music, food, memory and history. This intimate event at the historic Henry Street Settlement House will feature Clare performing SILVER AND ASH, a song cycle inspired by her grandmother’s escape from Germany in 1938 and Burson’s own struggle with the legacy of family secrets and loss. As Clare performs, audience members will participate in a four course meal comprised of dishes prepared by Ms. Lohman that, like SILVER AND ASH, progress from late 19th century Eastern Europe through Weimar Germany and 1950’s Tennessee, and end in present day Brooklyn.

This unique event is one night-only and shouldn’t be missed.  Very limited seating, buy your tickets now you so you don’t miss out!!

Thursday, June 10th
@ Henry Street Settlement (265 Henry St., NYC)
Doors 7 pm / Show 7:30 pm / $60
Event includes a full concert by Clare and a 4 course meal with wine pairings

Author, musicologist and member of the esteemed Idlesohn Society for Musical Preservation Josh Kun has made a dope little mixtape in support of Dawn 2010, the Tablet Magazine sponsored, May 15th late night party in San Francisco, celebrating Shavuot.

Kun’s mix  is a deep dig into the crates of  vintage and archival recordings sitting right next to more modern dance tracks with a few more mind-blowing gems sprinkled in between, with all the tracks pulling from a different corner of the globe with a heavy pulse on that Jewish tip.

The mix includes tracks from the famed Barry Sisters, funked out Jewish soul music from Slim Gaillard, Musica de Latina, a ton of classic African tunes, some crazy Hava Negilah rendition and a bunch of JDub artists including Soulico, Balkan Beat Box and The Sway Machinery.  The mix closes out with a banger from  Mexican Institute of Sound, who happens to be homies with Kun’s beau.

All around worth a listen, head over to our friends at Tablet Magazine to listen to this exclusive mix.

92 year-old Irving Fields, who has a few tracks on this mix has been writing hit songs since the 1920’s. He recorded over 90 albums, including his biggest LP hit, Bagels and Bongos. JDub recording artist SoCalled suggested he write a song about Youtube, and he did. check it below
