Hello & Matisyahu

Why hello there. Thank you for kindly stumbling upon this new establishment that I like to call my "blog"! Just to make my intentions clear early, I intend this to be a mp3 and music news blog. Not one to divulge the secrets of my bland, boring life to you. If this is what you are looking for, then please enjoy!!! (If you can't tell, I'm addicted to exclamation points!!!!!)

My first featured artist is a Reggae artist named Matisyahu. If you haven't heard of him, you may live under a rock, or might have just overlooked it, I almost did. He came out with his first full length, Shake Off the Dust . . . Arise, late 2004, and recently released a live recording of many of the tracks from that cd, entitled Live at Stubb's. Now, the name Matisyahu might strike you as unusual, but that is because that is his Hasidic Jewish name. He was raised Jewish all his life, and fully embraced his religion when he was 14, changing his name from Matthew Miller to Matisyahu Miller. He has amazing musical talent, and is tons of fun. I prove this to you by the two tracks included below. Warrior is more of a musical showcase, and Beatbox is just pure fun. Enjoy!
