Sharing muzak...

[snowgrouse]

Thanks, Gord, for sharing this piece playing now. Client sound like they ROCK. Guh. Hot chicks singing tough stuff. Purrr.

Here's my stuff:

Räven (the Fox) by Hedningarna. Finnish-Swedish folk music, sung in Swedish except for the last part which is a Finnish invocation for raising sexual desire. My translation--sorry, my Swedish is a bit dodgy

Thanks. It's interesting that, judging by the lyrics of that first song, Swedish/Finnish folklore seems to have something in common with that of Japan and their legends of the kitsune.

[snowgrouse]

Might do, yeah. I'm fascinated by the kitsune. This song was written by a Swedish bloke so it's probably more to do with Viking mythology than the Finnish one, even though we've got our share of cunning fox tales and so on.

Ooh -- very cool! Have downloaded the two Siouxsie and the Fox one. Thanks! :D

[snowgrouse]

Glad you like! Siouxsie does kick arse. And so do Hedningarna:).

I've got their other song, an ancient Finnish spell-poem/rune/runo of the power of the Female up here:

Täss'on Nainen... I heartily recommend you check out that LJ post:).

[g_shadowslayer]

Oooooh - thanks! (And ref. the comments about your friend calling the wind, one year I made a rather impassioned complaint about the "piddly-shit weather" we got during winter in our area (Washington DC) -- that winter, we got weekly snowstorms, real genuine blizzards, and thundersnow, so I'm definitely going to avoid that one!)

EEP! Fokkin' 'ell!

[calapine]

Yay, music! ::nabs::

[snowgrouse]

'tis lovely!

And I bet you'll like The Rose. Because it's just... so true for those dark periods, and so uplifting.

And I do recommend testing the cat song with cats in the house. :D

I was listening to Betty Boo when I read this. I am so low-brow.

[snowgrouse]

*raises your brow to the height it should be, which might be near your hairline and that'd be a bit worrying and eep*

But yeh, give the Finnish and Swedish stuff a go. They are lovely. And really, Catwalk is so fantastic for freaking out cats:D. Noki goes mad when I play it!

[pseudnik]

My hairline is receding with alarming speed. On the plus side: I have all my own teeth.

I shall trust your judgement and download when I've finished listening to Betty Boo immediately.

Ooh, yay, music! I love "The Rose" -- I was taught to sing it for some function in elementary school, and I still know all the words. :) And I don't think I've ever actually listened to Siouxsie, believe it or not.

*downloads the whole enchilada*

[snowgrouse]

Siouxsie is great. I'll have to upload their most B/A songs as well as the ones where Siouxsie IS Servalan.
