#historical themed music

[brasideios]

Thought some of y’all might be interested in this deep dive. I love Heilung, Wardruna etc, but it’s not historical music by any stretch of the imagination.

Interesting tit-bit I picked up in my casual studies of Viking age history a few years back now that he doesn’t mention - there’s no evidence that there were drums during this period. The preservation of wood does occur in graves in Scandinavia but no drums have been found.

It’s been suggested that they may have used their shields to beat a tune instead, and there’s a section in Heilung’s LIFA show where they do that - so hats off to them for that - but modern ‘Viking’ music is very drum heavy without any basis in known history.

Just curious Red, how exactly would you go about with the ai in class bit?

I have some friends who have to use ai in class (this one for valid reasons, it’s a compsci class about machine intelligence and looking at ai specifically) and then I’ve also had to use ai at one point for a class as the teacher was trying it out (I found it interesting, but doubted I’d use it again)

tbh I'd give it the most bonkers prompts I can think of and act like its results made total sense, or deliberately use results I knew were flawed or wrong.

But maybe don't always listen to me, I was always the one trying to out-clever the class assignments by doing things just one step to the left and skewed of what I was told to do. XD

yall im writing a musical about Dame Ethel Smyth, a classical composer and suffragette that randomly had affairs with Emmeline Pankhurst and Virginia Woolf (?)

is this something the people are interested in? Would you watch/listen?????

there's something so unique about your music tastes that I see so often in your playlists- it's like this indie country feel?? and it's beautiful, like it feels like emo music for country or folk people

It's indie folk (Sometimes dabbled in with rock), and it's an absolute sacred blessing to the world. I can recommend some great bands like Mumford & Sons, The Ballroom Thieves, The Amazing Devil, The Crane Wives, The Last Bison, Patch And The Giant, The Oh Hellos, also Radical Face.

"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers."

Thomas Ruggles Pynchon Jr. is an American novelist noted for his dense and complex novels. His fiction and non-fiction writings encompass a vast array of subject matter, genres and themes, including history, music, science, and mathematics.

Reclusive Nature: Pynchon is famously reclusive, rarely appearing publicly and avoiding interviews and media attention. This aura of mystery has only added to his mystique as a writer.

Academic Background: Pynchon studied engineering physics at Cornell University, where he developed an interest in literature and writing. He later pursued graduate studies in English at the University of Washington.

Military Service: Pynchon served in the United States Navy from 1955 to 1957, an experience that influenced some of his writing, particularly in his novel "Gravity's Rainbow," which includes themes related to World War II and military technology.

Literary Career: Pynchon gained widespread acclaim with his debut novel, "V.," published in 1963. He followed this with several other highly regarded works, including "The Crying of Lot 49," "Gravity's Rainbow," and "Mason & Dixon." His novels are known for their dense prose, intricate plots, and exploration of complex themes.

Awards and Recognition: Pynchon has received numerous awards and honours throughout his career, including the National Book Award for Fiction for "Gravity's Rainbow" in 1974. He has also received the MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the "Genius Grant," in recognition of his contributions to literature. Despite his accolades, Pynchon remains relatively elusive, preferring to let his writing speak for itself.

march was genuinely such a wild month that 1. upped my confidence in my capacity to quickly learn music when it is made by folks whose stuff i am truly passionate about and 2. reinforced the idea that live music & my love for it is truly the primary catalyst that fuels said passion of mine for tunes....

what do you mean i didn't know Any boom done/solo ag songs before my boom done show then sat there in bed the night before, determined, listening through that record, falling in love w it, and in turn being able 2 sing along to most of the songs the next day...

then did the same goddamn thing with gloom division!!! i only knew the words (ish) to what love, had briefly listened a couple of the other songs, then the night before rochester i was making bracelets and decided to do the damn thing and spin that record on loop, because i knew i love idkhow and Would get into these songs, and sure enough, went to that show the next day with half the words to that album committed to memory. then by buffalo monday even moreso. and now i cannot in every sense stop living in gloom division world

Transgender review of Eminem's use of bigotry in his latest song, Houdini

the first time i listened to this song i rolled my eyes. not because i was particularly annoyed that Historically Homophobic Harry said some things that got on my fee-fees, but because for him to do it in such a passe way was disappointing coming from thee Marshal Mathers. like, your name has meaning brother. you think im going to give my hate-attention to something this bland?

the next time i listened to it it made sense. nah, this dude KNOWS he's the joke. he's taking the joke that he is and telling it himself. the entire music video is him acting like an idiot and doing embarrassing shit, bumbling over himself while he randomly tosses in ad-libs from old songs of his like a parody of what his image is, even going out of his way to insult his own family to demonstrate that he was consciously showing ignorant and meaningless aggression. perhaps im giving the notorious buttery-complexioned MC a little too much credit here, but i think it passes the smell test. maybe not elegantly, but at least to me.

fuck i just hope his whole album isn't this. because to me, this joke can be told once effectively. you dont have to ditch the theme of self parody, but you can only be self deprecatingly coy about your very real bigotry so many times before "it's art" stops being a pass.
