Chikinki

 2006-06-03

murmanskdays is over here asking for some good music

Take that, you fascist! Here's some trendy modern electro-rock Chikinki for him, which Gorokhov mentioned once, and recently Boris Grebenshchikov too on his radio show Aerostat (turns out, such a thing exists)
What's more, Andrey called the band Chikinki, while Borisych called them Chikinki. I get the feeling we'll never know the truth.  But whatever the case, here's a RapidShare link for you. The album is old, but whatever.

Listening ease 4 - upbeat  and cheerful  "rock" with mannered vocals

P.S. I didn't like Borisych's show, which means murmanskdays or ears_of_tin will. I wonder, did the radio station ask BB not to play anything too heavy or electronic, or is he just inherently such a fan of all sorts of limp pop.

HURRRRAY!

 2006-06-03

The healing power of System Of A Down's music fixed my amp!
I cranked it up to full volume so the whole street could enjoy it - and suddenly everything was okay, all the speakers started working.
This is called treatment through superstress.
Hurrrray!

Metal

 2006-06-03

The other day ears_of_tin mentioned that he's running short on metal
Specially by request, the latest Opeth album and whatever Skyclad albums there are
https://vladek.richnet.lv/muza/

I even gave Opeth a listen - it's probably progressive metal, sounds quite decent (I'm a total zero in metal, though)
Easy freaking listening 3
But Skyclad scared me off with its sound quality

i really don't know how he's gonna download it
oh well

Soup

 2006-06-03

Mom went to Croatia to sunbathe, and I fed Dad and myself. I cooked all sorts of food every single day. Spiral pasta and spaghetti, long-grain and short-grain rice, crab stick salad, chocolate-coated curd snacks, hot sandwiches with melted cheese, peach, lingonberry, and bran yogurts, chicken legs with French fries and regular fried potatoes, “Matjes” herring or sprats with boiled potatoes, chocolate, honey, and caramel oat cereal with milk, cucumber-and-tomato salads with olive oil, cabbage-and-carrot salads with mayonnaise, Polish “Champion” apples and grapefruits left over from ages ago, pearl barley with fried sausage, pickled and fresh cucumbers, sauerkraut, dry-cured sausage in sandwiches and bologna too, sweet-and-sour bread, “brick” bread, white “Zolottse” or “Cinderella” bread, and dark rye bread, and I even made soup—first rice soup, then noodle soup, then shchi, and today I made BORSCHT in a huge pot with 7 servings!
That’s how cool I am!
