    This screen capture from my email inbox belongs here. The Independent Music Awards are like the Grammys of indie musicians and labels. TBH, Grammy's are sort of a dime a dozen; I know a baker's dozen grammy winners well enough to FB or text them, but only 2 IMA winners. At any rate:

    The mathematical harmonic third is actually between the minor and major third of the western chromatic scale. It's a little closer to the major third but a major third is still sharp compared to the harmonic third.

    If you have a guitar, tune it perfectly. Pluck the artificial harmonic at the 9th fret G string (a perfect harmonic third) and the artificial harmonic at the 12th fret B string. They will be dissonant.

    Anyway, pedantic Music Theory Edster is done for the night. Carry on.

    If I might suggest, when you get tired of the proto-European rock & bone music try some Hu. Mongolian rock.

    Totally missed the Mongolian recommendation and going to follow up on it - I have seen a couple of random clips of those guys and it seems...maybe the expression would be "metal as folk."

    Anyhow, I saw this action go down the night before last:

    Freaking incredible show. Heilung played for almost two hours, nonstop. There was no talking between songs, no real direct interaction with the crowd at all. They clearly have choreographed a complete performance from opening to close, which I think is intended to be a complete ritual that I interpreted to contain themes of birth, war, death, rebirth, and celebration. It's hard to explain - live footage of them does pretty fairly represent what you get, but seeing it live is something else. I found parts of it to be totally overwhelming and the person I was there with had a similar experience. It was too loud to talk and neither of us really wanted to be distracted; I hardly took any pictures because I didn't want to be in my phone, I just wanted to be able to show people what I'd seen a bit. But although I found the whole thing to be totally thrilling and awesome, there were also points I felt inexplicably sad, like a sense of intense grief which I couldn't really ascribe to anything in particular.

    What I found really fascinating about that was that when I was really finding it deeply moving in this strange, sorrowful way, I looked over at my friend (who spent six years as a US Army SF medic on combat tours and is not easily rattled, as you might imagine) and he was straight up crying. I don't know what it was that evoked that emotion; I really couldn't explain what it was that made me feel that way. But clearly he was having a similar reaction.

    Highly recommend the live experience. We saw them at the Paramount in Seattle and the sound and look of everything was incredible. The drums were absolutely thundering. I was standing on a raised platform when I took the above photo and while consciously I'm perfectly aware the vocalist could not physically see me even if she wanted to, with her spot-lit (an effect more intense in person than on a low-light camera setting which evened out the lighting a bit) like that it really felt like one of those scenes in a movie where there's two people across a crowded room and everything else fades into the background and they only see each other. The experience was totally riveting.


    If you get the chance to see them, do.
    This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

    This is just a 20 second clip to give some sense of what it looked like...but you need to imagine it with incredible sound, with absolutely thundering bass tones and drums you could feel in your entire body. It was NUTS.

    I missed this thread the first go-round. I'm glad that you brought it back up.

    As to your....question?....observation?.....in the first post, I believe that there is something there, although I have no frame of reference to name or explain it.

    As I've mentioned before, I used to work for a Native American tribe in the Midwest. One of the casino's fairly new security guards was a straight-up white cracker city boy, whose only exposure to Native culture was likely watching John Wayne movies. At one point there was a Native drum contest going on. While I have normally been moved by the drums, this kid, who had never had any exposure to them before, had tears streaming down his face. He was affected that deeply, although he had no way to understand or even describe his reaction.

    Good stuff!

    They played in Portland two nights ago. By all accounts it was amazing. Pre-Christian European spiritual traditions are my jam, as long as the Nazis stay away. You might really enjoy Wardruna as well.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    That's pretty primal.

    I don't know, I guess I'm in an unfamiliar headspace these days (for reasons that are likely obvious).

    But boy, I sure find myself indulging a taste for the more tribal end of the folk-metal genre. Or, as I like to call it, "Enya for metalheads".
    Nice rack.

    This isn't a general message to the internet at large or anything but if we're talking core group here at PFC, anyone who finds themselves heading out this way has a standing invite. I will provide meat, drink, and guided motorcycle tours or salmon, lingcod, or halibut fishing. I have more space than people who would want to occupy it. At my wedding I invited everyone I could think of that might want to see me happy, and thankfully she showed up or the whole thing would have been a big waste of time and money.

    Of course the cost of attendance could include really weird euro-shaman music at anything from conversational to nuclear volume: I recently set up the PA system my old rock band used to use, so I could run the new album from the above group on it. For safety reasons, family members and bunny rabbits were placed outside. They were still able to enjoy the album. Or at least, you know, experience it.

    And to continue the dark nordic folk experience...

    Cool. A BC Woodstock sort of vibe.
