SFF Music Video of the Week #14
This week we return to Lindsey Stirling, this time visiting a steampunk Wild West with "Roundtable Rival".
A brilliant bit of storytelling, some wonderful costuming and choreography, all rounded out with magnificent acting.
Her instrument, incidentally, is a Real Thing - not a prop! It appears to be a Romanian horn-violin (or possibly a Stroh violin).

ReplyDeleteThis brought on by a co-worker discussing the eccentric uncle-in-law who has found AN AMAZING LINK BETWEEN THE WRITING OF TWO ANCIENT CULTURES! (Separated by about 5000km and 2000 years...) And is now being paranoid about his research being stolen by a professor in the field who thought that his research 'lacked rigor'.
ReplyDeleteI heartily recommend http://skepticalhumanities.com/ which has an ongoing series on crank fringe linguistics.
