A Different Way to "Hear" Caitlin Johnstone

I praise Caitlin Johnstone for her persistent and vicious criticism of Israel.  But words are not sufficient.  Signing up at the link will bring her articles to your email.  Then you can either read them or click on the sound arrow if you prefer to hear her words.

But there is another way to "hear" Johnstone.  By luck I was watching DVDs of "The Last Kingdom," the TV show made of Bernard Cornwell's "Saxon Tales".  It is the story of Alfred the Great and his offspring fighting off the Danes around year 900.

The theme music is wild, barbaric, female wailing by Eivor, a woman from the Faroe Islands.  I just love her wailing.  It is impossible to hear her without immediately slipping into the mood of the show, much of which is vicious swordplay.  Live performances never sound quite as good as studio recordings, but the You Tube link is fun to hear.

Bingo!  Something about the ferocity of her voice reminds me of Caitlin Johnstone's 'poison pen.'  It was exciting to see the connection.
