Superbly shot and edited musical tribute to the infamous Mongolian General and Statesman, Dschinghis Khan by the German band of the same name. It's a catchy tune and the video contains several historical easter eggs relating to the "Supreme Progenitor".
Beautifully sung Norse ballad and Volksang performed in Danish by Amelie Bruun of the dark metal project, Myrkur. It is the tale of Thor traveling through Helheim seeking directions from Hel as to the location of Jotunheim, the realm of the Giants.
Without question one of the most cinematic and artistically complete videos I have ever seen matched with equally aesthetic music. It's amaze-balls. Being a music video produced by a clothing company, it is certainly their Magnum Opus.
Siberian Grrl band Otyken, in a way they are my People. My 'Y' chromosome heralds from near Lake Baikal in Russland. I picked this track to represent them because of Ole Grrl's screaming. I like her screams and howls. In fact I like all the noises her mouth makes. They are essentially Siberian hippie chicks.
Considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written but you might say, "But, Sir, it's over 1200 pages long." and you would be correct but it reads fast because it's the best novel ever written. If you ever only read one novel in your Lifetime, read this one. People who had thought you only a miserable dullard will shit themselves.
An absolutely heavenly song encompassed in one shot. This is for all of you who long for Summerland and Home. It puts tears in my eyes every time because I long for Summerland and Home. The band and their music make me think of Appalachia and how the Human Spirit can always overcome the vexation of poverty.
Despite its reputation as children's literature, WATERSHIP DOWN, by Richard Adams, contains some very interesting religious and socio-political allegories. Engaging and vivid, it's won multiple awards in literature and has been voted, by the British Public, as one of the top fifty books of all time. That's pretty good for a piece that was nearly never published.
A vibrant print by Leonard "El-dragg" Okwoju, a Nigerian painter. He tends toward colorful portraits of Women, I assume because he's a Playa. When your paintings go for around $10K USD, you can afford to play. I've always felt African Art, in general, tends toward the colorful and is extremely Humanistic.
The editor of this piece deserves a medal. Encompassing multiple settings, camera angles and focal lengths, the cut is flawless and deserves the highest praise. The quality of the edit is enough to warrant one to take four minutes of their Life and indulge themselves notwithstanding the red-headed Saxon Dancing Grrl...sluuuurp.
I love the striped shirts, tyelnashky as they are called - tyelnashka being the singular in the feminine gender. I got a couple of them. The fit tight around the arms. European clothes for men are like that for some reason-totally different cut; I was like wtf. Anywho, watch the Russian Sailor Dance.
HARITINI TAKTIKOU - winner of the 2023 Greek Pole Dance Festival. The Woman is athletic, trim, a real gymnast. Watching this you might think, "Damn this should be an Olympic sport." But say that to the "woke" crowd and you'll be cancelled as it is obviously just more exploitation of Women.
Being a narrative of some of the adventures, dangers and sufferings of a Revolutionary Soldier by Sgt Joseph Plumb Martin, this extraordinary work is the only known extant account of the American War for Independence authored by an enlisted Soldier. Sgt. Martin served almost the entire conflict in the Connecticut Line. This is a must read for any and every American Patriot.
The Arab Dabka dance has several variations and is believed to be a centuries old custom most often performed during celebrations. The variations tend to be segregated between Women and Men. I dig it. This looks like great fun. A true example of a unique cultural activity.
I love black. I love round hats and I love beautiful, petite Asian dancing grrls, especially Vietnamese. Imagine these five chicks in a hot tub for long time after a long, hot day of fighting the Cong. It's good we are not fighting the Cong any longer that way these nice Ladies can dance in Peace. I'm totally digging their feetses by the way.
Crows and bones and clothing black, dancing as ravens with sticks that clack. It's hard to know how such modern old religion acts harken back to the days of yore but all things change. So let the pipes and drums carry ye back.
What can I say more Asian Grrls. I like-a the persuASIAN. It's the long, straight, black hair; it's the petiteness; it's the overall exoticness of such nubile creatures born half-way 'round the World. I just wish they'd do this gig nekkid in the furtherance of misogyny but then again the long bosk wine-colored velvet dresses are way cool.
Excerpt from a disturbing film entitled, "Nanjing! Nanjing! City of Life and Death". I've seen a similar procession portrayed in a film about the occupation of Indonesia so evidently such events were a thing. In the video the soldiers are approaching a group of others bearing the funerary urns of dead troopers they are commemorating.
At first, I thought this was some sort of Irish Gaelic smash going on but turns out it's a clutch of Latvians singing about Midsummer and how cool fucking oak trees are. It's a 4 and 1/2-minute-long Hare Krishna chant except it doesn't take you to that interesting place that chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna takes you.
This is maybe the most gothic thing I've ever watched. I think the ending is what sells it as complete goth but no spoilers. Very nice production value until the OPFOR appears but maybe that is meant to say something about depth of character.

From the Mid 19th century "Edo Period" of Japan, this is a life-sized sculpture that became popular in the country, sometimes depicting graphic scenes. They became known as 'iki dolls' but now that term generally applies to store mannequins. Look at the dark man going, "Arrrruggghh!"
