Two posts in a row, posted within 10 minutes of each other, that reference Yiddish. It's not coincidence, it's Shmetafilter!

It is? Why is this time of year different from all other times of year?

because its spring and cockroaches start emerging from the woodwork explaining all the muffled scuffling noises in the wainscoting ... no, actually why is this time different?

I looked at the FPP title really quickly, thought it was "Yiddish song of The Whelk" and was like "Man, that guy's everywhere."

The bandleader of the Cleveland-based band Yiddishe Cup also has an entertaining and educational blog, although it's less purely music-focused.

There is occasionally even more in-depth discussion of the Yiddish Song of the Week posts on the fairly high-traffic Jewish Music Mailing List.
