It’s a pretty busy Sunday morning as I am in the midst of prepping for a two day workshop I’m giving this week in Penn Yan followed by my annual Gallery Talk at the Principle Gallery in Alexandria next Sunday. More details on that in the next few days.
So while I am a little tight on time this week I wanted to keep up with my habit of playing some Sunday music. This week is a bit of an oddity and is nowhere near where I thought the song might end up. I stumbled across this video from a a Dutch group called Heidevolk which translates as “heather folk.” They consider themselves to be a pagan folk metal band and base their music on Germanic mythology and ancient pagan themes.
Yikes!
Not what I envisioned for this morning but this song and video made me laugh and I found myself myself kind of half singing along by the end. It’s called Vulgaris Magistralis and is about some sort of mythic figure who hides from sight like a Yeti but comes out to ride around on his mammoth.
And on Sunday he rides a mastodon. So if you’re out there today and get cut off in traffic by a guy on a hairy elephant, be careful– it might be Vulgaris Magistralis. And his road rage is epic.
Have a great day!
