Elynna 03.28.21	Updated.
DDDeftoneDDD 03.28.21	List looks like a keeper.
GhandhiLion 03.28.21	That Bremer McCoy album isn't really folk. It's just jazz. It is nice though. so uh thank you
budgie 03.28.21	WARDRUna seems like an easy inclusion btw
chemicalmarriage 03.28.21	I have not heard any of these
Elynna 03.29.21	@ Budgie Wardruna is probably the most well-known act in the genre, and I’d like to focus on the more obscure artists in this list.
Elynna 03.29.21	@ Ghandi Yeah I think you’re right. I’m not that well versed in (folky) jazz, so I submitted it based on the rym genre tags.
rellik009 03.29.21	Hell. Fucking. Yes. Instant bookmark.
Elynna 03.29.21	Ty for subscribing. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay :)
Elynna 03.29.21	Updated (2).
Elynna 03.29.21	Updated to patch 1.3
rellik009 03.30.21	The Tenhi album is disturbingly good
Elynna 03.30.21	Yesss! It's a beautiful compilation album, possibly my all-time favourite.
rellik009 03.30.21	your lists are certainly contagious let me tell ya but Tenhi. it's another level. genuinely frightened the fuck out of me last night
Elynna 03.30.21	Tenhi terrifying? Never heard that one before haha. Glad you enjoy it.
budgie 03.30.21	this alb rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMFRRL-pkyM celtic folk
Elynna 03.30.21	You actually rec'd me that album way back, and I loved it:) Funny that you mention it btw, I finished an entire discog run of Beltaine just today. I also plan on making a similar list with celtic folk gems at some later time. In all probability that list is going to be subdivided in multiple entries, because its going to be massive.
budgie 03.30.21	oh man that would be a cool list to check, i havent really been exposed to celtic style folk stuff outside of some random breton artists
budgie 03.30.21	speaking of breton artists i see youve recently rated alan stivell. cool stuff
Elynna 03.30.21	yeah I'll be focusing on his discog next. Renaissance de la harpe celtique is a gem.
Elynna 06.15.21	For those still interested in this list, or nordic folk in general, I've updated it with about 20 more entries. Slowly creeping towards 101 albums
rellik009 06.16.21	lovely

Elynna 06.17.21	damn, thats awesome. what's it say?
rellik009 06.17.21	"My excuses, I will change my words immediately" Least perfect english I have written in a while
Elynna 06.17.21	what sort of translate machine did you use? seems like something fun to play around with
budgie 06.17.21	that shit sketches me out because 9 out of 10 people who are into "runes" are fat white supremacists who have a fetish for shooting guns at colored people in idaho
Elynna 06.17.21	yep most of them are unfortunately. I took an academic interest in ancient runes during my BA in History when I was following an elective course in Norse mythology. It was a really interesting lecture and I still remember the teacher stressing the current misuse/abuse of runes in white supremacist and nazist circles.
budgie 06.17.21	hey that's probably a pretty cool class. i took a "viking history" course at U aberdeen and saw they had a series on futhark language, but never took those classes. my interest in everything norse fell off pretty quickly when i realized how strongly associated the entire neo-germanism culture is to white supremacism and nazism, as you noted. what was the history BA about?
Elynna 06.17.21	It was basically a BA in general history, where students have lots of freedom to pursue their own interests in the form of electives, seminars and minors. I'm currently following a research MA programme specifically focused on European history from 1000-1800. I've always been drawn to the cultural history of Renaissance Europe.
budgie 06.17.21	that is a wildly long period to focus on! are you a master of the 100 years war, or like, the golden age of piracy, or the wars of the roses, or the american/french revolutions? i have this book, froissart's chronicles, that i've been hoping to get into soon, covering mid medieval period.. think it's written contemporary with the 100 years war. woop woop french knights such a neat topic ⚔
Elynna 06.17.21	haha, it is indeed a very extensive period to study, and it can seem overwhelming at first. But (once again) students are allowed to pursue after their own interests, even encouraged to do so. So suppose you are interested in the Wars of the Roses, then the programme offers you every opportunity to specialize in this subject by way of seminars and your thesis. I can't say I'm a master of any of those histories you mentioned, although I did recently follow a course on Barbary corsairing activities and slaving practices in the medieval and early modern Mediterranean. My personal interest lies specifically in the cultural history of the early modern Italian city-states (most notably Florence and Venice, ca. 1500-1650). I'm particularly invested in gender, body politics, medical theory, gastronomy and discourse analysis.

rellik009 06.18.21	history homies unite
budgie 06.18.21	what's body politics? sup relik!!! history nerds 4ever
Elynna 06.19.21	It's a difficult concept to explain, but scholars Nadia Brown and Sarah Allen Gershon summarized it pretty understandably as follows: 'Bodies are sites in which social constructions of differences are mapped onto human beings. Subjecting the body to systemic regimes – such as government regulation – is a method of ensuring that bodies will behave in socially and politically accepted manners'.
Sinternet 06.19.21	great list, didn't see this before can't help but find the lack of paavoharju an oversight though
Elynna 06.19.21	never heard of that band, but I'll definitely be checking them out. Would it be best to start with their debut?
