In the early 13th century Hadmar III and Heinrich III formed the infamous "Hounds of Kuenring" who were robber nights and would raid ships along the Danube.
Here is an epic #HeavyMetal song that tells their story:
#TuneTuesday#StorySong John Doyle is just superb for both guitar work and story songs. If this suits your tastes, fill yer boots with the songs from this house concert. And anything else of his you come across, like his work with Michael McGoldrick and John McCusker :)
I think it's particularly fortuitous that this week's theme for #TuneTuesday is #StorySong, as it is Martin Carthy's birthday today, and he is a great performer and interpreter of the folk songs of the islands of Britain and Ireland. Here's one such song where he tells the tale of an ill-fated voyage to Norway.
You nearly got King Diamond or Nick Cave, and very nearly got Legendarium, but I'm supposed to be writing, so I'm going to stop overthinking this again.
Today's #TuneTuesday topic is #StorySong and I think a pretty classic story would be:
"The Odyssey" (classic epic by Homer) as interpreted by Symphony X
@HeatherInNZ has given us the theme of #StorySong for @Kitty 's #TuneTuesday for me one of the first ones that always comes to mind for a song that tells a story is Gordon Lightfoot:The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald but I've used that a few times for various things. Instead you're getting a dark and sleazy tale from Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats: Melody Lane https://songwhip.com/uncle-acid-and-the-deadbeats/melody-lane
How to choose just one #StorySong for #TuneTuesday? Star One, Mastodon, Candlemass, Keep Of Kalessin, Turisas, Iron Maiden, Clutch, Cradle Of Filth, King Diamond, Dio, Primordial and Vulture Industries. The possibilities are literally endless!
I had to think about my contribution for #TuneTuesday where @satsuma is asking for #MyPreciousMusic your favourite album on physical media or the one with the best cover art.
john coltrane • a love supreme • original issue stereo, impulse a-77. i have many cherished records but this one gives me street cred #TuneTuesday#MyPreciousMusic
For @Kitty's Tune Tuesday, @satsuma gave us a theme of "My Precious Music."
It's all about physical media.
I do not buy a lot of physical media as of late, though my oldest has been.
Here's the most recent physical album I got myself, Magnolia Park's "Halloween Mixtape II." And it RULES.
Magnolia Park gives us a fantastic emo / pop punk album that I have kept in my car since I got it over a month ago. Also, my 12 year old has gotten SUPER into it too.
For #TuneTuesday, @Kitty and @satsuma want to know everyone's favourite album on physical media.
Did you know that our debut album "fogdriver" is a precious physical medium ;-) You can change the cover of this CD because we have hand-cut a square on the front. We have included an interchangeable cover image for each song.
So, even if this is a bit of self-promotion. For me personally, it really is #MyPreciousMusic
A favourite album on physical media for #TuneTuesday
For me, music has memories and stories attached, even more so when it's in a physical media format. It's hard to pick just one, but I will.
The Essential Foo Fighters, bought in an accidentally found music section of a huge department store where I bought it with cash as if I'd taken a leap back in time to the 1990s. I was extra happy as I'd wanted the CD for a while and had not been able to find it.
