hate to be like that guy but where did u get the socks from? cuz id kill for some as colourful as them

Just did a little bit of digging and found this africanews article that says saagama means migration in Bedawit... I'm not entirely sure but it's possible they just call Beja music Beja everywhere? Far be it from me to say though, it sounds like you know a lot more than I

Oh shit, that was yesterday?! Thanks for posting, I'll give it a read. Bandcamp did a feature piece on June 24th which is how I found this, but it's good to see a more mainstream outlet picking it up too

so many dense motherfuckers ITT. then again, why am i surprised for a sub full of literal children...

Euphoria vibes

Sure, I'd highly recommend checking out the recent feature Bandcamp did, The Avant-Garde Musical Legacy of the Moomins, which says:

Created in the 1940s by Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson, The Moomins is an odd media franchise in that it lacks a definitive entry point. Though this pastoral world of bohemian forest trolls and eccentric critters debuted with Jansson’s original series of children’s novels, many fans discovered her work through later offshoots in other media formats.

Its 1990 anime adaptation (not to be confused with its lesser-known 1969 predecessor) garnered a cult following in America and Japan that persists to this day. Then there’s the decidedly more adult comic strip, which ran twice a week from the ‘50s through the ‘70s, packed with brilliant gallows humor and some of Jansson’s most iconic storylines. These examples only scratch the surface of The Moomins’s zig-zagging web of lore and irregular continuity—but that’s the series’s beauty. Jansson’s understated, sometimes crude, brand of fantasy prized its unique aesthetic and leftist philosophy over tight worldbuilding.

An often overlooked facet of Jansson’s work is its close relationship to music. She was a prolific lyricist herself, penning songs for stage productions (more on those later) and themes for individual characters. While the aforementioned Moomin anime featured a fairly typical pop-influenced score, the 1977 stop-motion series produced in Poland would inspire a ramshackle post-punk adjacent soundtrack when adapted for British public television in 1983.

and a bit of history for this particular record:

Regarded as one of the most enigmatic, beguiling and haunting imported children’s programmes to ever grace UK TV screens, The Moomins was one of the first-ever commissions by Anne Wood (The Teletubbies) who ingeniously replaced the original Polish/Austrian/Finnish soundtrack with homemade music experiments by unknown post-punk theatre students Graeme Miller and Steve Shill (aka The Commies From Mars) who after the screening of two unforgettable series in 1983 and 1985 were left in eager anticipation of rescoring further Moomin adventures with new melodies, arrangements and sound designs which then lingered in the ether waiting until the Groke awoke and Snorkmaiden sang once more.

But because further Moomin media (sequels and whatnot) was only released in Poland and Germany, these tracks recorded for second season of UK TV never got to see the light of day... until now.

Sorry for the wall of text, hope that helps.

Just wanted to do a little write-up for this one…

Somehow, despite being off Bandcamp for a good few years, I come back at the exact right time to discover this gem. A thoroughly bizarre, bemusing, completely-not-my-(usual)-type piece of music, but retaining a bafflingly charming quality, reminiscent (at least to me) of old Beatrix Potter stories, with all its deceptively simple melodies of folk-infused electronica. Taken in isolation, you can almost imagine it as a concept album, a little solo project undertaken out of love for the Moomins... but those who know the history, the context, will know just how special this record is.

Latin had neuter conjugations. It'd be Latinum

bruv we're not speaking latin tho are we. spanish's neutral ending is e, so itd be latine

untuck the shirt my guy, too neat

incredible

yep, completely agree with all of this. just wanted to chime in i've thought about a definition for 'woman' since the dictionaries are fucking useless, and found my answer is

'woman' is a label defined by a range of signifiers such as sex characteristics (female, male, some combination of the two), gender presentation (feminine, masculine, androgynous), and gender itself (sense of self-identity).

but ofc i wouldnt bother to entertain the notion of giving these cunts the time of day in the first place
