i asked for calm music dated up till the 1950 in musicovery and the first song was “in the pines” aka “where did you sleep last night” performed by leadbelly.

this song is very well known because nirvana made a cover of it during the 90s, but it dates back to at least the 1870s.

the song has only four lines:

Black girl, black girl, don’t lie to me
Where did you stay last night?
I stayed in the pines where the sun never shines
And shivered when the cold wind blows

it is an amazingly beautiful song.

alex from neatorama posts about this goat tower in the Paar wine region of south africa.

apparently it’s some sort of trend having to do with cheese.
