Pagan folk band Faun dropped a new single yesterday titled "Galdra" featuring Lindy-Fay Hella from the band Wardruna. This one is off of their upcoming "PAGAN" album that's set to come out in April of next year. This song is fantastic! It's so powerful and beautiful. The title I believe is derived from the old Norse word "Galdr" meaning spell or incantation, and you can definitely feel that. Between the chanting and the instruments and such, there's so much energy, it's electric. This song is incredible. One thing that makes this band stand out amongst other pagan and neofolk groups is their inclusion of an electronic beat in some parts of the song, which is an interesting touch that I really like. The video for this one is gorgeous. Misty mountains, mossy forests, the band playing in a field with a village in the distance, it's wonderful and fits the song incredibly well. I enjoyed this a lot, and I definitely recommend checking it out. ~Gangis

I've been looking for a great Universal Genève to feature here since Bring A link Loupe's revival, but there haven't been many for sale! This column and UG are closely tied in my head, as I first learned about the brand and watches like the Nina Rindt on BAL back in the day. The lack link of quality examples from the brand on the market is interesting to me. Given the news of Universal's revival, I believe collectors link are waiting and hoarding the best watches.
The Speedy Professional was a grail watch for Nicholas for years, and link he picked it up while he was with the Department of State to commemorate link a significant and sensitive moment in US foreign policy (one he was involved in, but link can't elaborate upon). Nevertheless, it's been with Nicholas since, and it's aged nicely.
All The President's Men link (starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman) is directed by Alan Pakula with link props by Alan Levine and Bill MacSems. It's available to stream on HBO Max and link to rent on iTunes or Amazon.
