#MuseTech folk, there's a proposal for 'exhibitions' on wikidata that could probably use your input, especially if you've ever worked on a 'what's on' site and know the complexities of exhibition data! Overview page:
The ephemeral nature of digital music and "albums" is a bit annoying. You can listen to an album today that has more or fewer songs than it had two days ago.
Also, artists can republish the same song on the same album, effectively replacing the original over time. Next thing you know, your folk album is a dubstep nightmare (hyperbole).
Jede Woche intensiv ein Album hören, so wie früher, als Zeit üppig und Geld knapp war. Vergangene Woche: Das 2024er Debut »For Your Sins« der Band Dea Matrona aus Belfast. Gefälliger Gitarren-Rock-Pop mit ein bisschen Alternative und ein bisschen Folk. In den Texten geht's überwiegend um Beziehungen, ungefähr das Gegenteil von schnulzigen Liebesliedern. #albumderwoche
Ser plötsligt folk skriva om att vikingarna minsann anlände före de inuiter som dagens grönländska urbefolkning härstammar från. Historiekunskap är bra, men den som hävdar att det ger Danmark och Norden ”rätt” till Grönland hamnar farligt nära Putins argumentation för rysk ”rätt” till Ukraina.
Lederen i Fellesforbundet siteres i Aftenposten:
"Han legger til at sammensetningen av kommisjonen vil ha litt å si.
– Det er viktig at det er folk som kan næringslivet, og ikke folk har særinteresser på miljŸfeltet, som blir puttet inn der."
Hva er det å ha en "særinteresse" på miljŸfeltet? Å være mer avhengig av jordens livsgrunnlag enn andre?

"Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler. Farage told us the flag-raisers were just ordinary folk sticking it to the system. A few months worth of local journalism later, that now looks like a shaky claim."

In many Hungarian folk music traditions, ornamentation is structural, not decorative. I think that’s a fruitful line to follow in composition.

Amram is a composer, musician, author, conductor and boundlessly connected collaborator who has been cheerfully ignoring musical categories since the 1940s.
His output includes jazz tunes, symphonies, operas, film scores, theater music, off-the-cuff talking blues and idiom-hopping folk-festival performances where he’s likely to play piano, pennywhistle and percussion.
60 years ago today, the earliest known grateful dead tape, the so-called emergency crew demo, just after abandoning “the warlocks” but before renaming themselves. recorded for autumn records, though not by sly stone, just the house engineer. 6 songs from their early repertoire, including folk arrangements, ambitious originals, & one knockoff jam that became a centerpiece.

De som är emot alla former av "individualisering" av klimatfrågor som att få folk att äta mindre kött, flyga mindre etc, är de också emot det i andra frågor? Är det dåligt att uppmuntra män att ta ut mer föräldraledighet i väntan på fler individuella månader?
Edit: och stämmer det att kampanjer och opinionsbildning inte har hjälpt för mer jämlikt uttag, utan att det bara hjälpt med individuella månader?

Jürgen explains the Wild Hunt phenomenon, what the tales have in common, introduces the leaders of the hunt, and reveals why the spirits are on the move at all:
“Carol of the Bells” is based on the Ukrainian New Year folk song Shchedryk (Щедрик), a traditional song of good wishes for the year ahead. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

– Korleis kan folk kalle seg kristne og samstundes fremje politikk som er det motsette av Jesu bodskap? Svaret er at kristendommen fungerer som maske – eit politisk verktŸy, seier den amerikanske skribenten John Jeremiah Sullivan i eit intervju med #VårtLand.

@axbom@axbom.meI love love LOVE Mastodon's short-term (24-hour) auto-expiring mute functionally.
