From the Land of Ice and Snow, A Show! A Show! A Show!

17 09 2008

it’s been a while… caught back up in the daily grind of unforgiveness and lack of witness and work work work for someone else, unseen to me… a few announcements…

1. I’m playing a show on October 10th… I’ll be opening up for The Better Half at Jake’s Escape in Southampton, NJ around 8pm.

2. The Apprentice, the short film that includes ‘Into the Wild’ playing over the end credits, will be making it’s premiere on Tuesday, September 23rd at the Ambler Theater www.amblertheater.org, near Montgomery County College in Pennsylvania.

3. I posted a bunch of new videos on YouTube recently, www.youtube.com/nymphoelf … haven’t gotten around to putting them on the site yet.

4. Rumor has it that there is an album that is nearing completion, definitely hope to have it released before the end of the year… but that is of course, just a rumor.

i will now head to my mother’s for dinner…

‘Voyeur’ and Voyages of Words

17 08 2008

… ahhh whence time once came, and the players played and the dreamers dreamed… chess pieces thrown astray into an ashtray, called it life and come what may… he who picks the puzzle, solves the puzzle, by forgetting that it was his and his alone, to be guarded til the dawn of the breaking bone… phone the resistance to the atrophy… a trophy? every surprise life throws at you could be a prize, if only you would stop and try and try not to deny what you know or knew… there are few, and they are far between… there’s chaos in the order… there’s chaos in the order… one, two, four, 5, six, 3, eight, seven…. properties… monopolies… demolished and unforgiven, only to be given away and built back in the cycle of shit and more shit that we recycle ourselves through and into… what could change you?… a breeze going against me could take me in the right direction upstream… fishes… fishes…

wrote a new song called Voyeur… here it is…

Elfland!

17 08 2008

“Elfland, or Faerie, the otherworldly home not only of elves and fairies but goblins, trolls, and other folkloric creatures, has an ambiguous appearance in folklore.

On one hand, the land often appears to be continuous to ordinary land. Thomas the Rhymer might, on being taken by the Queen of Faerie, be taken on a road like one leading to Heaven or Hell:

“O see ye not yon narrow road,
So think beset with thorns and briers?
That is that path of righteousness,
Tho after it but few enquires.

And see not ye that braid braid road
That lies across the lily leven?
That is the path of wickedness,
Tho some call it the road to heaven.

And see not ye that bonny road,
That winds about the fernie brae?
That is the road to fair Elfland,
Where thou and I this night maun gae.”

However, others have found fairies and elves with greater ease. Sir Orfeo discovered the king who had kidnapped his wife by wandering in wilderness. Others have found them in elf hills near the homes, which digging could violate. They have been found in fairy circles, dancing in apparently ordinary woods, or riding through ordinary lands.

This is not exclusive to English or French folklore. In Norse mythology, Elfland (Alfheim) was also the name of what today is the Swedish province of Bohuslän. In the sagas, it said that the people of this petty kingdom were more beautiful than other people, as they were related to the elves, showing that not only the territory was associated with elves, but also the race of its people.

While sometimes folklore seems to show fairy intrusion into human lands — “Tam Lin” does not show any otherworldly aspects about the land in which the confrontation takes place — at other times the otherworldly aspects are clear. Most frequently, time can flow differently for those trapped by the fairy dance than in the lands they come from; although, in an additional complication, it may only be an appearance, as many returning from Faerie, such as Oisín, have found that time “catches up” with them as soon as they have contact with ordinary lands.

Fantasy writers have taken up the ambiguity. Some writers depict the land of the elves as a full-blown parallel universe, with portals the only entry — as in Josepha Sherman’s Prince of the Sidhe series or Esther Friesner’s Elf Defense — and others have depicted it as the next land over, possibly difficult to reach for magical reasons — Robin McKinley’s “The Stolen Princess” in The Door in the Hedge, Hope Mirrlees’s Lud-in-the-Mist, or Lord Dunsany’s The King of Elfland’s Daughter. In some cases, the boundary between Elfland and more ordinary lands is not fixed. Not only the inhabitants but Faerie itself can pour into more mundane regions.”
