Kino

for people who know (and don't know) the best Russian band ever
video: Moscow, Evil Empire, 20.11.1988
it's was a concert in the memory of a suicided rock poet Alexander Bashlachov, his song plays in the end
Kino were interrupted after a few songs for an unknown reason (Sport Palace bosses were so stupid)
there you can see the true USSR: a lot of depressed people in weird clothes, soldiers, police (militsia)
add criminals and you get the full social menu of those times

James Blast · 31 May 2007, 19:20

a very lame Echo Beach riff sung in another language does not a good song make and they look daft

ormfdmrush · 31 May 2007, 19:25

what's Echo Beach?
no one looked better in USSR
the country is a total disaster (still)
one more
weird, but Big Yin likes them
so they are not so bad

Oh, no? What about Latvia, then? Be careful how you answer that, by the way...

Baltic republics considered themselves to be alien in USSR and they were right

James Blast · 02 Jun 2007, 01:36

no, it wasn't funny at all - is this what we've become?

You don't like these girls then?

ormfdmrush · 02 Jun 2007, 14:17

nothing interesting in music and idea
they went off their producer and continued ruling all themselves
that's the only positive point for me

i'd prefer such art

1. You're not the first person to think that - over the years, some folks have asked if I'm from Spain or Italy, but I'm unsure as to why, really..? Maybe it's the (fake) black hair.

But thanks!

b. Damn. Corbijn is

ETA: Hmm. Music's a bit saccharine/silly for my taste, but the singer's not too bad...
