I am not a big music fan. My music tastes are far from developed and original. But still once in a while I feel like sharing a tune. This category is mostly used for my rare music moments.

Love song gone wrong

I was listening to the radio today while in the car and there was this band singing a love song. Before the song began, in the intro, it is said that the song is about a woman, broken heart, and all sorts of usual stuff. The song was sang by two male voices, in turns, with chorus doen in duet. The funny part was that in the song itself there were like one or two references to a woman. If missed, the song sounded totally gay. I mean there were these two guys singing a love song to each other.

I almost died laughing. Imagine a band writing a great pop song. It sells lots and lots of copies. So they go out on a tour for additional promotion and money. They expect a whole bunch of young hot chicks jumping on top of them. And instead, they get a bunch of romanticallly mooded boys! Now that would be an eye openner!

Kill Bill Vol.1 soundtrack

For the third day in a row I can’t get off the Kill Bill: Volume 1 [Soundtrack]. I am usually not that much into music, but this time I simply can’t stop. And the strange thing is that I liked the Vol.2 movie more than Vol.1 .

All of the compositions on the disk are excellent but these are giving me the most pleasure: “Bang Bang” by Nancy Sinatra, “The Grand Duel” by Luis Bacalov, “Twisted Nerve” by Bernard Herrmann, “Green Hornet” by Al Hirt, “Battle Without Honor Or Humanity” by Tomoyasu Hotei, and “Woo Hoo” by The 5.6.7.8’s.

Party at Milenka

Party at Milenka

About 20 people from the forum met yesterday at Milenka’s place for some rocking. Actually, the original idea was to sing songs by Vladimir Vysotsky and have some pies. But when it starts, it kind of difficult or even impossible to control. People were drinking everything from tea and juice to vodka and tequilla. Singing also was out of control with blues, rock-n-roll, and folk pieces all over the place. Overall, I had as good time as most of the people.

Just for the reference, the thread about the party is here. Starting from the third page or so you can find comments about the party and links to the photographs. I have made a few shots myself. The results are here.
