Eddy Owt allowed me (Pieter Pastoor) to fill in for him this week. I had to pick a theme, so a show was born about crows in song. Enjoy the journey in the spirit world of crows.
Crows in Song
Omens & death
Crows are often associated with death, darkness, or foreboding.
Wisdom & mystery
In many Native American, Celtic, and Norse myths (and retellings in literature), crows are seen as wise, shape-shifting messengers between worlds.
Transformation & the uncanny
Crows often appear in magical realism or gothic writing as liminal creatures — half in the human world, half in the supernatural.
Ted Hughes’ poetry collection Crow (1970) reimagines the crow as a trickster, creation figure, and survivor.
Hey there! Coming up on the latest installment of The Russ Tolman Goodtime Hour, tracks from the Delines, Lulu Wiles, Sandy Denny, Jeff Tweedy, MJ Lenderman, and more more more! Listen up at 9 p.m. Pacific here on KDRT 95.7 fm + KDRT.org + the podcasts -- and catch Russ in his new replay slot on Friday mornings at 7 a.m.!
