god is a moog

The tireless promotion of all things cool and jewy continues as I introduce you to God is a Moog. It's by this brilliant jewish fellow named gershon kingsley who wrote that song popcorn that you would know if you heard. He basically pioneered the "moog" sound that you have in your head from your childhood. Also, if you've ever heard the music at the electronic parade at Disneyland and it's gotten stuck in your head in a really sick way, it's because Gershon wrote that too!

This new cd I speak of is him doing all kinds of cool jewy music in his inimitable Gershon style. Here is info from Josh Kun, one of the producers of the project:

Synthesizer pioneer Gershon Kingsley's 2-CD collection, GOD IS A MOOG-- which moves from Moog versions of Yiddish chestnuts to a wild 60s Shabbat rock opera--was released today, after weeks of great press attention from the likes of Entertainment Weekly, Black Book, Urb, Time Out NY, and Fader. He also appeared on wnyc's soundcheck program, and was interviewed on the notorious suicide girls site. More info is of course always available at reboot stereophonic. We hope you love Gershon's music and his singular attempts at merging electronics with Jewish ritual, liturgy, folk song, and progressive politics.
