Honest question: If doormats are generally frowned upon because they can be considered inviting to the fae, and its also generally frrowned upon to have a doormat that says something like "go away" something like that because its rude and you may offend said fae, would a doormat that says "Ask not for who the dog bars, it barks for thee." Because its implying a dog barking at you which means please leave, but is not directly being rude just because a dog is protecting its territory.
Tl;dr - Is my dog and doormat going to get me cursed?

"Fairlies" by Grian Chatten
MG:
In an embarrassing way that I canāt quite specify but recognize as very āme,ā I donāt like really anything by the very well regarded Fontaines D.C., but I love frontman Grian Chattenās debut solo album, which appears to be making this year end list and this year end list only. While I find Fontaines a depressing, predictable listen, āFairliesā was an instant yes. Chattenās voice is intoxicating ā thick, heavy, and always threatening to go flat. The verses sound as if theyāre being sung right into your ear from behind your shoulder, spine-tingling and vaguely threatening. The verses make a sharp aboutface, bleated and almost childish in their insistence of āno fair!ā āFairliesā rouses the spirit and the senses, it slinks into stillness and then whirls frantically out of control. I feel that Chatten would probably not be impressed with my love of just about anything with a ton of fiddle on it, and I get that impression from just how ancillary the fiddle is here. It saws around the song like a foregone conclusion but itās never as much of an instrument as his voice is. This was a truly surprising standout record (the whole of Chaos for the Fly hangs together as a coherent project but no two songs sound alike or capture the same sentiment twice) from an unlikely source and I look very forward to the rest of what Chatten does. Hopefully I will live long enough to hear the full Gaelic folk album!

One of the biggest struggles modern parents like myself have is, how do you teach your children that fairies are not to be trusted? We're on generation four raised with cute, clumsy, disneyfied fae like those found in Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, and generation two who know Tinkerbell (one of disney's rare intentionally-problematic characters) mainly via solo movies where she's adventurous and loyal and voiced by Mae Whitman. Will our children cut down thorn trees without thinking twice? Will they see a fairy ring and assume it's somewhere to explore instead of avoid? We're very lucky that the current generation isn't already all bewitched and living under the local hills. So as someone who grew up with a healthy respect for fairies, in the sense that I read enough old stories to know I should never take them at their word or disturb their places, albeit not enough to ever stop secretly wishing I might meet one anyway, I am concerned for today's youth, including my own. Grian Chatten is not going to teach them for me, but can anyone actually counter the cultural juggernaut that is the disney industrial complex? I doubt it, which means I'm just happy to encounter the occasional pushback, however small, even if it's in a song like "Fairlies" that mostly has other things to do but takes a line or two to connect fairies to danger. The kids have to learn somehow. How else can we teach them if not with the oldest ways, with song?

Grian Chatten ā Fairlies
Erstes Soloalbum des Fontaines DC SƤngers Grian Chatten. Und das eher sperrige Chaos for the Fly beinhaltet das wunderbar fluffige Fairlies.

I love this song so much. As with most songs I talk about on this blog, I found it on the radio because the radio is almost a 1:1 reflection of my taste, basically.
Let me put it this way: this song is 4 minutes long. I wish it were double that. I love this song so much and it is so much fun to listen to in a way that just enraptures me.
The artist is also the lead singer of a band called Fontaines D.C. and I've heard and liked a few songs of theirs, so if you like this song, and end up checking the rest of its album out (Chaos for the Fly), then you should also check out Fontaines D.C.!
Cannot recommend this song enough.
