The Curse

Early into the second song on Junglepussy’s excellent debut album 'Satisfaction Guaranteed,' she raps, “How dope is this? Teach you how to grow and live.” The line—rapped quickly, with her rollicking flow, kind of like a slinky expanding and contracting with each breath—also works as Junglepussy’s motto. She’s here to please you, help you, teach you, and, most importantly, introduce you to her tropical lifestyle.

Seems like this new version of the Turtle's appeal depends on what generation you're from. So which one of us liked this slicker (but, believe it or not, dumber) reboot and why?

Utwór z serialu Wikingowie. 

muzyka: Maciej Rychły, tekst: Alicja Bral, tłumaczenie na języki gaelicki: Joy Dunlop

------------
Song from Vikings series

music: Maciej Rychły, lyrics: Alicja Bral, translation into Gaelic: Joy Dunlop

lyrics ENG:

I .

Oh !!!
Brave Laghertha, the strongest of spirits
You wield a shield more skilfully than warriors
Muspelheim and Nelfhein have descended into chaos at the news of your death
Oh  Laghertha!
Migdard turned into Ginnungagapa in pain after the loss.
Fair Thor, why haven’t you saved us from this tragedy!!!

II.

Huginn and Munnin told cruel Odin about your bravery
He let out Valkyries on winged horses to bring you to  Valhall.

III.

O Gods! Take good care of Lagherta!
The great warrioress, queen of the North
Oh Lagherta,
you’ll lead the army of warriors towards a victory during
Ragnarok!

 Gaelic:

I. 

Oich
Laghertha threun, an spiorad as curanta
Tha thu nas sgileil le claidheamh na laochain
Bha Muspelheim agus Nelfhein ann am bruaillean le naidheachd do bhàis
O Laghertha!
Chaidh Migdard na Ghinnungagapa le èiginn a’ chaill seo.
Thor fhionn carson nach do ghlèidh thu sinn bhon uabhas seo?

II. 

Dh’innis Huginn agus Munnin do dh’Oden bhorb mu do ghaisgeachd
Chuir e Valkyries gad ionnsaigh air muin eich sgiathaich airson do thoirt a
Valhalla.

III.

A Rìghrean! Thoir an aire air Lagertha!
Ban-ghaisgeach threun, Ban-Rìgh a Tuath
O Lagherta,
Bidh thu os cionn airm nan gaisgeach a thèid le buaidh ann an Ragarok!

Alive (Night Cycles Version)

I have recently bought a Monome Norns and I have started to experiment using it in dialogue with my piano. The idea is to record a series of Divagazioni (digressions) using all the different scripts in it.
Here I am looping with 'Wrms' by An.Drew and filtering everything with a Microcosm by Hologram Electronics.
