Willkommen zu einer der blutigsten Retro-Fantasy-Folgen des Jahres! Heute geht's um Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight. Das Kultspiel von 1991, das aussieht wie eine Mischung aus Dungeons & Dragons, Monty Python und einem mittelalterlichen Schlachthaus.Du spielst einen Ritter auf heiliger Mission – geschickt von einem völlig überambitionierten Druiden - den mystischen Moonstone zu finden. Warum? Keine Ahnung. Der Druide redet in Rätseln und taucht auch immer nur dann auf, wenn's gerade richtig unpraktisch ist. Irgendwas mit höherer Macht und so. Der Weg führt dich durch Sümpfe, Wälder und Monsterlager , während du knöcheltief durch Blut und Eingeweide watest. Möglicherweise deine Eigenen, denn mit Pixelblut wird nicht gespart.Also schnappt euch euer Schwert, ladet die Diskette und betet zum Mond – denn Moonstone bringt den Pixel-Gore gleich mit.

Kalli kann noch nicht schlafen. Er hat heute eine Sandburg gebaut und mit Mareike Ritter und Burgfräulein gespielt. Aber dann kam Guido und hat die schöne Burg zertreten. Kalli möchte ein furchtloser Ritter sein, dann würde ihm das nicht passieren. Und schwups ist Kalli ein Rittrer. Das Sandmännchen hat dir aber nicht nur diese Geschichte mitgebracht, sondern auch noch das Kinderlied "Ritteranziehlied" von Körperklaus.
„Distanziert Verehren statt heißblütig Begehren“ Zwischen Herz und Ritual. Liebe ist Liebe. Und die wird besungen. Das war im Mittelalter so wie heute. Aber die Art wie gesungen wurde und wird, die zeigt doch einige Unterschiede. Im Mittelalter, zur Zeit der Ritter,wurde mittelhochdeutsch gesprochen. Gab es schon das,was wir heute Literatur nennen? Ja die gab es. In Form von langen Heldenliedern, z.B. das Nibelungenlied , in Form von Erzählungen.U.a. die Parzivalgeschichte von Wolfram von Eschenbach, und in Form von Gedichten und Liedern. So um 1200, also im Hochmittelalter, war der Minnegesang das Maß der Dinge. Genauer gesagt der hohe Minnegesang, der Ausdruck des Minnedienstes ist. Er wurde an den Höfen, vom Ritterhof bis zum Königshof gepflegt. Minne wurde als Liebe zwischen Mann und Frau verstanden, allerdings stark ritualisiert und standesbezogen. Nur Adelige wurden besungen. Es ging nicht um erfüllte Liebe, sondern um einseitige Verehrung, die vom Sänger ausging.In unseren Ohren hören sich die Gedichte etwas merkwürdig an. Aber das macht sie auch interessant. Die hohe Minne wurde zum Ausgang des Hochmittelalters von der niederen Minne verdrängt. Nun wird nicht die hohe Frau,sondern das schöne Bauernmädchen besungen. Was für unsere Ohren erheblich natürlicher klingt. Waren die Minnelieder gar die Schlager des Mittelalters? Machen Sie sich liebe Hörerinnen und Hörer selbst ein Bild.

***Producer's note: This is a preview of the latest episode of Kuskalla, a trilingual (Quechua-Spanish-English) podcast produced by Red Media and hosted by our comrades Yojana Miraya Oscco and Renzo Aroni. Listen to the full episode on the Kuskalla podcast feed*** In this episode, I talked with Jonathan Ritter, who is the Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology and Chair of the Department of Music at the University of California, Riverside. We discussed his viral Quechua Pumpin song “Karumanta Qamurqani” (I have come from far away). Characterized by a carnivalesque style, Pumpin is often interpreted as testimonial music from the Fajardo province in Ayacucho, a central region deeply impacted by the Peruvian internal armed conflict between the Maoist Shining Path guerrillas and Peruvian state security forces, lasting from 1980 to 2000. This conflict resulted in nearly 70,000 deaths, primarily affecting Quechua-speaking Indigenous peasants in this region, as noted in the 2003 report of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In 2001, shortly after the conflict ended, the Truth Commission began its efforts in communities throughout the Pampas River valley in central Ayacucho, where the Pumpin enjoys popularity. A year earlier, Jonathan Ritter started his fieldwork in the village of Colca for his dissertation focused on this music. After mastering the Pumpin guitar, he composed his song “Karumanta Qamurqani” to perform at the newly relaunched Pumpin contest held on the Waswantu plateau in February 2001. This contest had been on hold since 1983 when government security forces shut it down, targeting locals for allegedly supporting the Shining Path guerrillas. In February 2002, he performed his song again, and Asto Producciones filmed it for the first time on video cassette. In this episode, we talk about how Pumpin transforms from traditional music into a powerful form of testimony that recounts wartime experiences and survival in the aftermath. We then examine the lyrics of “Karumanta Qamurqani,” discussing their meanings and the song's reception both during the live performance in Waswantu and after its 2008 upload to YouTube. The response from Peruvians sheds light on issues of race, class, and identity, as well as the reclamation of Quechua language and culture in the post-war context. This episode is dedicated to Alejandro Mendonza Alca from Colca, Jonathan Ritter's mentor and maestro of Pumpin, who sadly passed away a few years ago. For more information on Pumpin music and its history, check out Jonathan Ritter's articles, including “Carnival of Memory: Songs of Protest and Remembrance in the Andes,” published by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in 2013.

The day he left for basic training, Aaron Ritter renounced Jesus and all religion. Living a life of selfishness, and as he puts in "the life of a rock star" (whatever that is). Years in the Navy, as a firefighter, living on the edge daily. Several failed marriages and then a horrific motorcycle accident that ripped part of his right leg off. A faithful father and mother who never stopped praying for their son. A passion for the outdoors, and finally a life surrendered to Jesus. Limb-itless Outdoors is a program for amputees to find hope and fulfillment through the outdoors and archery. Aaron shares his journey into a life of hope and a desire to help others find it also. www.limbitlessoutdoors.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com
