That version of little Rambo is alright and all, but man, he’s playing a dangerous game stepping onto the turf controlled by the real heavyweight, Zoran Rambosek.
My guy Rambosek is just gonna steamroll your Rambo and snatch that whole revolutionary vibe right out from under him...

autumn calling dmj then, autumn calling dmj then

So, we've already covered quite a few of the absolute classics—stuff like Red Poppy, the Bileća woman, and Bandier Ross. And yeah, obviously Bella Ciao belongs on that list regardless of what language you sing it in. Then there's Konjuh Mountains. If you're looking for international stuff, you really can't beat checking out Quilapayun or Inti-Illiman; they have an endless supply, and their most famous track is El pueblo unido jamás será vencido. I'm sure you've already thought of Cohen's Partisan too. But, getting back to our own backyard here in the States... those aggressive, pamphlet-style anthems always seemed to have the edge, like "Hey, Count On Us"—which actually isn't a bad tune—even though if you dig through various random compilations, you can find some really beautiful tracks that never really caught on. I'd recommend the Zoran Rambosek album Tito loves pioneers (actually, if anyone has a copy, let me know...) and that single by Boris Bizetić featuring working Končar / thirteenth. Though, good luck finding those now... they're basically impossible to get. As far as the more famous ones go, I've always had a soft spot for that song by the Ivo Lola Korn group, mostly because it uses snippets from letters, though I'm not even sure if they're legit...

And when you get into the Heroyix/Sejmeni type stuff... hmm... I guess you could argue about what actually counts as anti-war versus what’s just anti-fascist/Partisan. Take Arsen Dedić - giving rain, for example...

4. I’m definitely not talking to random guys.
5. No dancing for me.

And what about "I'm not going to the football game"? 😬

Wait, does this not start until 18??? 😢

😬
Don't sweat it, my boss has been getting daily emails with fresh offers from Brides.com for five years now. 🙏 I just don't dare subscribe myself, though. It would totally clash with my column over at The Click, and honestly, I'm terrified I'd lose my job if I did... 😢

Lately, I’ve been feeling this really intense urge to just adopt a Russian woman... 😬

Sandra Chase16 said:That’s why Australians get how business works

1. some good deed I'm gonna pull off today check

What should I call it?

Calvin?

I actually wanted to adopt a bald eagle, but man, those fees were insane...
But hey, they had better t-shirts, you know, the ones that actually said "I adopted a bald eagle."

I don't even know where to start with this one. It’s just one of those days where everything feels slightly off, you know? Like, I was sitting there thinking about how much things have changed lately, and honestly, it's kind of wild if you really sit down and process it... anyway, I digress. The point is, people need to stop overcomplicating things. We spend so much energy worrying about the small stuff when the big picture is staring us right in the face. It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck and trying to critique the conductor's uniform instead of just getting off the tracks. Just a thought... maybe it's just me... kaže:
Wait, what...? 😲

On the way back, we're hanging out at the airport, right? We look up at the menu in the restaurant and see they're charging like seven bucks for a beer... and honestly, we just looked at each other like, "Oh, hey, that's actually not even that bad..."
Look, if you’re planning a trip to Russia, my number one piece of advice is this: don't go drinking at train stations or inside hotels. Even if the bar looks fancy and has decent seating, just steer clear of those places...
Two draft Budweisers at the Moscow train station set us back 500 rubles, which is already ridiculous. Then we hit up that standing-room-only bar across the way where we grabbed two sandwiches each, some fries—honestly, they were gross, zero actual potato flavor—some beer, a solid Starbucks, water for the train ride, and a Fanta for the Russian guy driving us, all for another 400 rubles between us. It makes absolutely no sense...
I mean, there’s probably some dive bar out there serving cheap local brews that tourists wouldn't even dream of stepping foot in. Places where the drinks are dirt cheap. I just haven't had the time to go hunting for them, and honestly, I'm not even sure if it's actually a smart move to look...
Moscow is easily one of the most expensive cities on the planet, if you actually look at the data...

Ronald Gray96 said:I saw some guy on the subway last night doing squats while singing "Open the Gates, Woman" at the top of his lungs... just total madness... 🙏

🤣 I've got a feeling I know exactly who we're talking about here...

My top list of things I actually loved about Russia:
Ruskinja 2. Rus 😍 🙂
Russians (not that they're bad people—I mean, they’re alright, they just love a good drink and messing around)...
Third tier food (except for potatoes, which are absolute garbage—honestly, I was at this dinner party the other night where the guest list included names like Putin, Chirac... Mesić, and Kučan...)
4. booze (vodka is classic perfection, and honestly, the beers were surprisingly killer too)...

My top list of things I absolutely hated about Russia:
Man, it’s actually insane how dirty everything really is...
The way people drive around here... honestly, there's only one word for it: yikes...
Man, prices at the stations and airports these days are getting absolutely ridiculous... I mean, seriously, eight bucks for half a liter of draft beer??? That's just straight-up robbery... 😠

Jason Chavez32 said:Schweppes Bitter Lemon is easily one of the best drinks out there. But honestly, I love it just as much without ice as I do a cold beer with ice, so nah, I don't agree!

I'm with you on that—it’s definitely better without the ice (though if you're desperate, a cube or two won't kill you, better than chugging some lukewarm soda). Honestly though, I've complained about it so much lately that I actually stopped drinking it altogether... 😢

Yo momma... said:stormyviper11, Ariana Grande, Riba... you guys seriously need to look at this detail...

Man, what a joke... 😍 🙂

We actually tried to get them to join one of our Brewers Club meetups months ago, but they just keep blowing us off... 🙂 Honestly, those gatherings have been turning into a total joke lately... 😢 We really need some new blood in the group. 🙂

As for the fruit beers, during last night's tasting at the club, out of about ten different new brews, the Bellevue Raspberry (which uses raspberry instead of cherry) took a solid second place. Even the hardcore skeptics who usually hate anything fruity had to admit it was actually pretty damn good.

stormyviper11 said:so what's the deal with this thread? 🤔

Always.
The truth is our whole vibe.
As Green Day would say.
And honestly, the guy's a genius...

Look, we were talking about hits in a specific sense here, not just using the word in some massive, broad way... 🙄

stormyviper11 said:Topic from last night's hangout: Is there actually a third hit with the word "square" in the title?

The two best...
1. Huey Lewis and The News - hip to be square
Ali Corley - Square rooms
3. ?
Maybe there’s something going on over by Times Square... or maybe not. Hard to tell lately...
You can really see how both of those tracks come from that mid-eighties era... back when everything in design was just aggressively square.
Man, I was spiraling down such a pointless rabbit hole last night...

NP Paddy Milner - Unsquare Dance top 😂

My personal ranking of the best internet radio stations out there:
Radio Paradise... 🙏

Man, and here I was thinking it was more like: "Come here, Chick Jovo, uncle's got a carrot..."😬 😂

Carol Jackson45 said:Chuck Norris isn't even worth my time... 🙂

Hold on, hold on... if I'm reading this right, you're basically saying Chuck Norris is just... well, tiny... 😬

Maria Nelson35 said:@Adam Moore/">@@Adam Moore: the only way that visual comparison to WCIF actually works is when you look at the gender ratio, because unlike those ugly YYYs, the guys in WCIF (including Dodo Dolgcajt😬) actually look good! 😎 😎 😎

That’s just facts. I don't really know you, so I'm not trying to judge, but those two guys in your band? Total heartthrobs... any mom in America would love to have them as sons-in-law. 😎 😁

Where did everyone from the Gruntovčan crew go? Seriously, was that the best domestic show we ever had?😲 😕

Topic from last night's hangout: is there actually a third hit song with "square" in the title?

My top two are definitely:
1. Huey Lewis and The News - hip to be square
2. Ali Corley - Square rooms
3. ?
Maybe something involving Times Square?
It's worth noting both those tracks are straight out of the mid-eighties, back when everything from the music to the graphic design was all about those sharp, blocky shapes...
Man, what a pointless rabbit hole we went down last night...

analogharbor442 said:@stormyviper11/">@@stormyviper11, man, that Pizza you get in NYC tastes absolutely terrible, haha! 😉

I’m stealing that line. I haven't actually had any of those fancy regional styles yet (yeah, I know that sounds dumb, but thinking about Nicholas Perez33 just cracked me up)...

Whoa! I had no clue about that one. You actually surprised me... nice one!
