Fedor Emilianenko is going to fight again. Like an old street tomcat that always thinks he has one left in him. He needs to retire, he's 44.

Not in my case. My favorite foreign bands from my childhood are Americans. Manowar and The Offspring .

I got pulled over by a cop for driving through an upscale neighborhood in my service van (complete with my custom sound system) for playing this song too loud. He said he could hear it 100ft behind me in his prowl car while driving. He just gave me a warning.

One of my all time favorites.

Maxim..
Question: who are "Artik & Asti"? Armenians?

Who write music for them?

Because ( I assume) Niletto is writing HIS songs for himself, right?

This girl (from what I gather) is originally from the same town as g.d. Zelensky ( i.e. Krivoy Rog).
I am figuring out by now that all these people can't be "alternative" ( as I thought on Autoradio,) since millions of Russians are watching their videos.

( God forbids she will return to Ukraine. The idiots will start torturing her with the questions of sorts "Crimea belongs to whom," then will put her name on "Mirotvorets" and her career will be over like with Maruv.

Oh wait Maxim..
I have found something else interesting here..
I'd like to designate this post to a broader subject of the "White Men Can't Dance.")))


The first one should go to the Russian Comedy gold.

And it's actually not Niletto so much, ( still don't know his real name,) but Yegor Khlebnikov ( the guy in a pink shirt.)
I watched it like twenty times in a row)))


"You are dressed so nicely, the high fashion and all - the whole package.

You are so charming stylish and brainy - you are like a dream, like a fairy-tale - I am highly impressed and enchanted.

I am happy that we've met of course, and I know the rules of the game, BUT;

There is something odd in this picture, one small thing;

I sense that there is something wrong with you;
Refrain;
Behind this pretty face, you are an alky,
You are an alky)))...
My happiness is burning out like a match in the blink of an eye,
So this page is turned rather quickly -
So long, so long my dear alky)))"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O__2...&start_radio=1


Then I liked this one; ( I didn't care for the rest much, since he obviously is a rapper too..)




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9aFrJb30A4


and this is the compilation of his other popular moves..

Record covid deaths in Russia. 130,000 Russians currently hospitalized with Covid. Quick, lets change the subject!

I don't want to gloat over disease, but Russia's vaccine program could benefit by allowing WHO approved vaccines.

Reality, not a friend of those who love Putin's Russia.

thanks for the music videos, some interesting stuff there, I have to be honest I don't like rap music at all, good stuff but just not my thing. Does Russia have any two tone bands? They're a bit 'dated' now of course but its a music genre I like, its not the only genre I like though, I like all sorts of stuff from the Stones to Amy Whinehouse and lots of the 'inbetweens'.

I'm glad you found it entertaining Easthome...
When Maxim will be back - ( he is more knowledgeable about the music scene in Russia of course..) so we'll talk some more about it.

Meanwhile by now I realized what you were talking about.

That specific Delta variant of Covid



https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/28/how-...or-the-us.html


And yes, it looks like that's the strand that hit Russia ( Moscow in particular.)
And if to go by what they say in this article -



"Indeed, the U.K.’s experience of Covid-19 has often been a harbinger of things to come for other countries, including the US. It has proved particularly true when it comes to Covid variants which have hit the U.K. and then gone on to dominate globally."


"Given the U.K.’s experience of both strains at an earlier stage than many other countries, it is now being seen as something of a “test case” for what could happen in the U.S."


And here they say that


"The UK is about a month or two ahead of the US when it comes to the spread of the Delta variant, Gottlieb told CBS. That means the US has some helpful data to make predictions before a potential outbreak."


https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/28/healt...day/index.html



Ughhh...This doesn't sound good. It's a nail biter.



In Moscow ( well I guess in Russia) they are stepping up vaccination program of course ( with QR codes including and whatnot.)
They are obviously "undervaccinated" there, ( same concern potentially for the undervaccinated Southern states in US,) but the overall picture is rather troublesome.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

St Petersburg Russia currently has an official death rate from covid 60 times higher than the UK. Can you guess why that may be if both countries are dealing with the same strand?

Probably because there are a lot of conspiracies flying around about the virus. That was a major problem in the United States as well, which, just like Russia is full of people who believe and peddle conspiracy theories. That’s also the case with places like Brazil and India, and obviously to a lesser extent many other countries.

So even though the infection rates are similar, but the death rate is 60 times more, its because of people's beliefs?

I hope not, or there will be a problem in a lot of other places soon.
