Shucklers in Love

I wrote about these guys last week, in my piece about Shuckle music. Then I came across this wonderful quote in an article on Lubavitch.com about Chasidic tunes that inspire rockers (though, now we can more correctly say, Shucklers).
One of the great accomplishments of niggunim is tying people together, a sentiment that Seliger emphasized in his interview with Lubavitch.com. "I love all Jews," he said, and paused for a moment. "And mainly because of their music."
This quote sums up the attitude of Shuckle music perfectly--the goal of real achdus and open mindedness. It's a good thing folks, so let's make it happen. Here's my challenge: use the word Shuckle and I will link to you. I don't expect any links to me, this isn't about my hits or popularity; I want everyone getting into the Shuckle groove. Together, we can spread the word. If you're not convinced, read this again, and then get back to me.

The first two musical revolutionaries are:
BloginDm
Life-of-Rubin

I know you want to be on this list. So get with the program and email me a link. Let the craze begin...

Update: Mottel starts a shuckle meme. Way to go!
Update: Jack at Teruah eloquently summarizes my fondness for Shuckle. "Names are important. They categorize (not this, but that) and they establish presence (it exists but once didn't)."
