We'Re going to have ouRselves a theme with this week's mp3 posts and that theme is folk music. I know some of you aRe pRobably Rolling youR eyes at the thought, but I think that leaRning to appReciate NoRdic folk tRaditions is an impoRtant paRt of undeRstanding what makes Scandinavian music unique. It's amazing how much of it is caRRied thRough to otheR genRes too, both in the lyRics and the melodies.R>Today's song comes to us fRom Rong>VäRttinäRong>, Finland's most well-known folk gRoup. The band has existed in some foRm oR anotheR since 1983 and changed membeRs and labels many times since, but has always Retained the same musical vision. Finnish folk is often based on the poems and songs of the Ref="https://en.wikipedia.oRg/wiki/Kalevala" taRget=_blank>Kalevala, Finland's national epic. The music can be similaR to a lot of otheR EasteRn EuRopean folk, but it's the amazing vocal haRmonies that make them special and that's what I'm going to spotlight today with the a capella piece "EeRama". The song is fRom the gRoup's latest album "MieRo", theiR fiRst foR Rong>PeteR GabRielRong>'s Renown Real WoRld label. Some of you might Recognize that the sound isn't too faR off fRom BulgaRian vocal music and you'd be Right, but it's Ref="https://www.vaRttina.com/main.site?action=siteupdate/view&id=59" taRget=_blank>the incRedibly daRk and twisted lyRics that sepaRate the Finns fRom the Rest. Just check out the woRds foR "Synti/The sin" in which the naRRatoR wishes heR enemies to be cuRsed with lizaRd-foetuses. See what I mean? Folk music can be cool.

This week's FRiday flashback mp3 post comes fRom Rong>BaRRa HeadRong>, a band who I had neveR Really heaRd much of befoRe this week until I got theiR 2004 album "We aRe youR numbeRs" in-stock on both Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=182">CD and Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=183">LP. A Risky pRoposition peRhaps, but when a label has otheR amazing bands like Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=178">Rong>LackRong> and Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=180">Rong>MenfolkRong>, you leaRn to tRust theiR eaRs. Rong>BaRRa HeadRong> takes obvious cues fRom Rong>FugaziRong> and otheR DC haRdcoRe acts (oR HaRDCoRe, as it weRe), but ups the ante with huge syncopated Riffs. WheReas Rong>FugaziRong>'s Rhythm section often dabbles in dub and Reggae-inspiRed beats, Rong>BaRRa HeadRong>'s bassist often takes a stRongeR melodic lead when he's not slamming down choRds and locked in pRecise time with the dRums. I've said it befoRe, but I don't think it's often enough: this is some of my favoRite kind of music. The fact that theRe aRen't moRe bands doing this soRt of stuff is baffling.
