Keith Kahn-Harris: Let's hear it for Jewish metal music | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

During my sixth grade class this past Sunday, one of the students mentioned that Gene Simmons is Jewish. (BTW This comment was actually on topic.) My sister then mentioned how one of her neighborhood carpool moms was wearing a "Heavy Shtetl" (vs. "Heavy Metal") t-shirt. I WANT that shirt. I Googled "Heavy Shtetl" and discovered two things: a really cool article about Jews and metal music (Keith Kahn-Harris: Let's hear it for Jewish metal music | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk) and the My Space page of an actual band called Heavy Shtetl (http://www.myspace.com/heavyshtetl). Still no "Heavy Shtetl" t-shirt, though.
