Schlock and awe. A smattering of primo aesthetic bliss.

Revenge of the Creature (1955)

[walpurgishall]

[anachoretique]

In Oberstdorf, an old village in Southern Bavaria, a unique ancient pagan tradition is still alive – the dance of the wild men (Wilde-Mändle-Tanz), which is held only in this small town, once in five years. 

Wilde-Mändle-Tanz is dedicated to the Germanic god Thor, and involves 13 men, all of whom belong to old local families who have been living in that region for centuries. The men’s costumes are made of moss, which grows only in the  Allgäu Alps. 

They dance to rhythmic drum music, building a pyramid, and at the end they drink mead from their wooden mugs, singing a ritual song.

Buzz Me Babe - Slim Harpo

1960

Swampy, slow-burning blues with a sly sting

Slim Harpo delivers a fine example of his signature swamp blues sound here: sparse, hypnotic, and rhythmically loose.
