He's fucking awesome
and he's not a rabbi he's just a hassid which is an orthodox Jew
and he hasn't been one for that long he used to smoke pot and trip and shit when he was in boulder which ironically is how he became a hassid he was tripping on shrooms one day and decided to be a hassid so no not really a hypocrit and no where in the Jewish religion does it say u can't do drugs roll
i blame history

i found the album since I am a big fan of the bands that mouse mentioned. He has some great beats and the overall sound is great, but I don't really want to listen to someone sing about being jewish or any other religion. That is the theme to every song on the album.
I listened to it through, and actually am going to give it another chance.

The thing that is most amazing is that he got big off of a live album...I don't think he has even put out a major studio album yet. That goes to show the power of live music in Austin, TX (which is where the live album was recorded)

I think he has an album released in 2004 called "Shake Off the Dust...Arise". His new album, "Youth", is coming out March 7th.
