The Killers

Prudence said:So... I reached out to my colleague Tanya in Moscow, and she gave me a quick rundown of the cover page from that site above...

Spot on! 🙏 👍

My mom didn't bother translating it. She wasn't exactly thrilled to burst through the door and help me translate 200 cubic yards of data on the fly. 😢 🤣

We haven't even gotten to Russia yet. Go ahead, Prudence, keep that momentum going... 😁 🙂

this whole thing is a joke......it's all just pure political theater at this point😁

Rick Astley said:It's all a joke... they've got that total Frank energy.😁

For the love of God, stop making those comparisons.😁 Forget about some random guy, forget France, Russia is where it's at, and honestly, who cares about California anyway?😁

Thomas Diaz6 said:Please, let’s stop comparing them.😁 Forget about France—forget France entirely. Russia is where it's at. Honestly, forget California.😁

And it isn't just that; when you actually look at a map, Russia looks massive compared to California!🤔

Just gonna say it again: this is the discovery of the year. Pure, unadulterated drinking music. You can blast this solo and feel like you're at some wild house party that’s already gone off the rails—the kind where everyone's wasted, your mouth tastes like a cheap hotel carpet in downtown Chicago at 4 AM, and people are just passed out in corners getting stepped on. Seriously, props. 🙏 🙏 🙏

...works for me, honestly. I've been dealing with the Ukrainians for decades anyway...

urbanhawk85 said:...it works for me, since I've been stuck listening to Ukrainian music for ages anyway...

So you listen to Ukrainian bands? Got any recommendations?... A friend of mine had a CD from this absolutely wild Ukrainian group, and I really need to track her down so she can burn a copy for me!🙂

Prudence said:Do you listen to any American bands? Got any recs?... a friend had this one crazy American band on CD once and I gotta track her down so she can burn me a copy!🙂

...that American group is actually Peter Solowka's outfit—he used to play guitar for The Wedding Present... honestly, it's a killer mix of pure rock energy blended with that local American vibe and language... they're pretty well known for doing covers of The Smiths, Kraftwerk, Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, and Prince... but man, their original stuff is way better... The Wedding Present even dabbled in that American sound back in the day with their "American Sessions for John Peel" mini-album...

Kenneth Collins8 said:...The Ukrainians are actually Peter Solowka's band—he used to be the guitarist for The Wedding Present. It’s an incredible mix of pure rock energy blended with Ukrainian melodies and lyrics. They’re well-known for their covers of The Smiths, Kraftwerk, Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, and Prince... but honestly, their original stuff blows those covers out of the water. Even The Wedding Present dabbled in that sound back in the day with their "Ukrainian Performances for John Peel" mini-album...

Look, Kenneth Collins8, just burn a CD or upload a link for me, and I'll make sure the people who want to hear it actually get it. 😘

Alexander Diaz8 said:Look, buddy, just drop a link to some decent sound carrier for me, and I'll pass it along to whoever's actually looking. 😘

…oh, broken girl, the sun-dog burned you with this album...😉 😁

Kenneth Collins8 said:…that beautiful girl, the sun-dog burned you, this album...😉 😁

Are you actually planning on frying albums for that beautiful girl? 😁

200 cubic feet 🙂 🙂 👍

The first time I was tipsy, I actually heard something... and I just kept listening and listening. At first, I honestly thought they were singing in French, but then it started sounding more like American 😂

Thomas Diaz6 said:You gonna fry some albums for that gorgeous girl? 😁

… alright then, keep digging, Thomas Diaz6…😁 😁

Kenneth Collins8 said:... keep on swarming then, Thomas Diaz6...😁 😁

🤔 For God's sake, 😁 are you even following what Thomas Diaz6 is saying? 😁

Thomas Diaz6 said:🤔 Man, I don't know... 😁 Are you actually following what Thomas Diaz6 is saying here? 😁

...looks to me like someone’s got a pretty consistent track record with those young Eastern European girls...😉 😁

sundog said:...it looks to me like someone is a regular at those clubs frequented by young Russian and Ukrainian women...😉 😁

😎

Thomas Diaz6 said:Yeah, the guy’s got a killer voice. I wish I could 🙂 🙂

Look, I know you're trying, Thomas, but like I told you before... it takes a hell of a lot of whiskey to pull that off.😁 😁 😁

Thomas Diaz6 said:🙏 🙏 🙏 Translate the blues 🙂 for me 🙂 and introduce me to Tanya 🙂 🙂

My dear Tanya worked so hard this weekend...😍

blues

The late doorbell
“sorry, It’s I
Sorry, that so late,
But you know me”
The Parents are at home,
It is impossible with them,
They will die from fear,
If they see me.
I’m drunk. The Metro is closed,
Understand: I haven’t got money,
Let me stay the night,
Not on the big dinner
I don’t need anything,
Put me to bed,
You see I’m ready and
I can’t stand up.
Crushed trousers, torn jacket
The heel is falling off and a bruise on forehead
Ok, I’ll lie near the lift

to Hell everybody, wake up them
Then bring a blanket and the water to drink;
Only don’t go away,
Sit with me,
Sometimes It’s a pity for me,
That I’m so bad,
But there is minus in this world,
But there is plus in you,
You understand, that is blues in the Head.

I’ll tell you all
You’ll be able to understand
You’re yawning, hinting
Tomorrow to get up early,
go , friend , go
Sleep for a hour
There is not you with me,
The lock has flicked.

That is absolutely wonderful 😍 Please share more 😁

Daniel Lopez said:That sounds great. 😍 Send more my way. 😁

I'm down, as long as you invite me over for a BBQ!😁
