Ann and I had the pleasure of seeing Athens Boys Choir (I'm sure you haven't forgotten the video Fagette, from a few weeks ago) perform in DC recently. Harvey Katz was gracious enough to give Feministing a free copy of his new CD, Bar Mitzvah Superhits of the 80s, 90s and Today.
If you like a great mix of spoken word tracks with upbeat pop songs than you'll love this album. Katz takes on heavy subjects like his mother's death, his own struggles with gender identity and US politics but intersperses it with great pieces that make anyone who was a child of the 80s reminisce hardcore. My favorite track was definitely "Our like like is a caboodle." Katz shared at the show that he doesn't fall in love, he falls in "like like." The piece is riddled with awesome 80s references to everything from magna doodle, holograms, shake and bake to trapper keepers.
Other great tracks include "I like you but I love your jazz hands" and "The Metrosexual threw off my gaydar."
You can preview the album on CD baby and purchase it!
