Music

This just makes me laugh, and yet it's a damn fine idea.

Using hip hop as a teaching tool for English.

Go take a look at Flocabulary

The piece that actually left me chuckling on this snowy wet morning was this. A Hip hopped up Cliffs Notes version of Romeo and Juliet.

I love the idea - speaking to kids using a medium they’re comfortable with. In no way do I think this should replace a full and careful reading with explanations by the teacher, but for some children there’s a lot of ground to cover before they’re able or ready to be successful in such an endeavor.

Semi obscure music question

2007-12-21

Read no further if you think Phish is just a misspelling of those things with fins and scales……

Does anyone know which Phish album and song contains an A Cappella version of the mourner’s kaddish?

I know it’s out there somewhere because I’ve heard it multiple times, I just can’t for the life of me remember which album it’s on.
