Just favorited “The Cold Spring Chill - Week 1” by David Minkin on Mixcloud.com

I just uploaded “The Cold Spring Chill - Week 1” to www.mixcloud.com

Each week 60 minutes of strange and/or wonderful music culled randomly from the David Minkin library.

Listen now!

Posting this for two reasons:

1- to congratulate Gwen Ifill on being inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Hall of Fame.

2- so we’re not the only people with this song now stuck in their head.

(You’re welcome ^TG)

Congrats Gwen!

“Allegedly founded by Harald Bluetooth, the Jomsvikings are thought to have been based at a stronghold called Jomsborg on the Baltic coast. At a time when Vikings were feared across Europe, they were known as perhaps the fiercest of them all – a reputation which even earned them their own saga.” Viking mass grave linked to elite killers of the medieval world
