Barsh Report Late-April 2011

We won the Track-off contest! And I surely am not gloating
I don't mean to brag one bit, actually on you I'm doting
Cuz the only reason we won was from your rapid-fire voting
And if I had a 100-foot yacht, i'd invite all of you boating

Got some more exciting Alter Ego news
(except for anti-mixed marriage Jews)
The new video for one of our songs has got a plethora of views!

Our friends Jonah Ansell (J) and Jaime Peisel (non-J), who soon plan to get hitched
Made a video featuring "Take Me With You" that has me pleasantly bewitched
It's a stop-motion feelgood filmgasm, yes it's worth surely worth a peek
It went semi-viral after being featured by Andrew Sullivan on the Daily Beast last week
And nearly 10,000 youtube views later
It's logged more hits than my friend's college bong (which he called Darth Vader)

Here's links to the video via Youtube and Daily Beast:

And for those of you up early, the vid will be featured this morn
On the WGN Morning show (so fun to look at it's like news porn!)

Performance-wise, things have been far from dead
This week I'm doing NYC sets with Honey Larochelle and Big Brooklyn Red
And speaking of Red, the Red Sea Jazz Festival came callin
And Jesse and I are headed to israel, (yeah we be Holy-Land ballin')
The last week of august, for 2 concerts in Eilat
So Israel peeps, drop by! or I should say, drop by while its HOT


Otherwise the spring has been good, prepping for exciting changes
I'll inform you of them soon, after my schedj fully arranges

Till then, enjoy the season, get outside if you can
And kids, if someone offers you candy, please don't get in the van
