mhoyeaccidentally typed 'meshcore' as 'menshcore', which makes me think of a ska band made up of orthodox jews who write loud songs about how some people are good people sometimes
I have since learned that per scripture, during times of great distress it is the obligation of no less than two Kohenim - but no more than 120 - to sound their silver trumpets in unison, which suggests that menschcore ska is a viable genre from a doctrinaire orthodoxy position but at some point it was decided that there are limits.
Apparently the “120 horns max” position is theologically disputed? From a purely historical-fiction comedy position I would like to read the entire story of the incident that led to one camp believing that adding the 121st orthodox silver horn honker was definitely going to improve the situation and the other holding the line that 120 priests blowing silver horns was definitely, definitely enough.
“Things are improved with ska” and “at some point there is enough ska, beyond that it is too much ska”.
I can see both sides of the argument.
I have also learned that there are ska covers of Leonard Cohen songs which in the spirit of trying to be something like a good person some of the time I have elected not to inflict on you.

-dsr- (not a dog)R'Nachan asked, "If there are not 120 horns, can the hammered steel drum be substituted?"
R'Hillel says that if there are not 120 horns, up to one part in four of steel drums may be played, but only if they are polished like silver.
R'Gamaliel accepts only one part in eight of steel drums, but lays the additional requirement that they all be in tune.
scmbradley@mhoye I would listen to that.
militant_dilettante@mhoye 1) we need that music, 2) wouldn't that be "menschcore"
