Biden V Cheeto

The perfect music for the next week and a half. Wagners Ring Cycle (Der Ring Des Nibelungen) of dwarves, mortals, and gods.

Richard Wagner - Ride Of The Valkyries

I reckon Cheeto is Alberich the Nibelung (a night-dwarf). The Three Rhinemaidens are swimming in the depths of the river Rhine and tease him as he tries to catch them. Then a ray of sunlight shines on a pile of gold. The Rhinemaidens tell Alberich that if someone should forswear all love, he would be able to forge an all-powerful ring of the Rhinegold. They tell this to Alberich because they think he would never forswear love, as he was so lustily chasing them. But they are wrong: mad with despair, Alberich forswears and curses all love and he steals the Rhinegold and flees before the shocked Rhinemaidens can take any action.

In the cycle Wotan is Odin, Donner is Thor, Fafner and Fasolt are two giants hired by Wotan. Loge is the mischievous Loki in Norse myth and Fricka is Wotan's wife (Goddess of marriage).

Enjoy.

Good Morning

Today's Finds

A very prductive day. Left home just after seven to get to Westwood Cross to do a techy covert shop. So, that was completed before ten this morning and before going home I popped into Birchington to peruse the chazzers there. Picked up six CDs for a quid including this one by Diana Krall.




I reckon my bro coming42 might be interested in this one.

The others are -

Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World
The Doors - Morrison Hotel
Elbow - Little Fictions
Bob Newhart - Something Like this, The Anthology (2xCD)
Julie London - The Liberty Years

An eclectic mix of quality music there.
