Iron Maiden “The Clansman”, their back catalogue has many better tracks, but they smash this one live.

Saw them live again in Brum last week, one of the best live acts ever, fantastic stuff, would go every week if I could!

If you get a minute check out Bruce's TR - Its not quite finished, however its still a pretty good read IMHO.

If I win the lottery I'll finish it this week if not I'll probably complete it when I retire!!! Until then I hope you enjoy the story so far!

A very cool animation to go along with "5nizza" which I assume means "Friday" .... the "8bit" style of animation has a retro video-game feel. 

Not the original video, but popular with the players of the video game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R" itself based on Tarkovsky's "Stalker" film and the Russian scifi story by the Strugatsky brothers, "Roadside Picnic".


Pretty effective song, considering done with 1 guitar and 2 voices, with 1 voice predominant.  Russian and English lyrics under "Show More" section.

Aretha Franklin (1942-2018) The Queen of Motown - RIP



Aretha's achievements in the late '60s were remarkable for any artist, but especially so for a black woman in the midst of the Civil Rights movement. She held the record for the most entries on the Hot 100 list of any female artist for nearly 40 years...
She won 18 Grammys and was the first woman ever inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

FSUW are not for entry level daters. FSUW don't do vague FSUW like a man of action so be a man of action  If you find a promising girl, get your butt on a plane. There are a hundred ways to be successful and a thousand ways to f#ck it up

First Aretha was amazing, a range and sort of playfulness to her voice.

Listened to some interesting facts, 75 million records sold. I suspect for a female this is a top 3 record. She recorded for some 50 years.  She covered songs from Elton John to Bachrach & David, I thought she covered a song of Nirvana, but I can not find it.

Her elegance and integrity will be missed.

This young girl has had 200 Million hits since her Golden Buzzer debut on America’s Got Talent. She’s been compared to Janis Joplin.

This is my favorite tsarist Russia military song so far:

Там шли шли два брата- Кубанский казачий хор

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i72el7JLHuA

for some reason the letter "yo" does not appear in the Russian subtitles.

From one of the eulogies A. Franklin came this odd fact ~ Both The King of Rock and The Queen of Soul died on the same day.
