Hear it First: Chechen Pop/Folk



I was googling Chechnya earlier and Макка Сагаипова (Makka Sagaipova) came up as a notable Chechen. Anyway, this is what pop music sounds like in Chechnya. You can download a bunch of songs here, but I have no idea whether or not it's legal.

  1. wow,
    I am glad other people spend time googling Russian things like Chechnya or Ivanovo.

    This didn't sound anything like I imagined it would. I was thinking it would be more similar to Western Russian or even Western European music.

  2. There are probably more Turkish and Islamic elements of influence than you might find in Western Russian pop. If you'd like we could explore 360 degrees of Russian music and work from here all the way out to Tuvan throat singing and back.

  3. Sounds like an Awesome Plan!!
    Hopefully Adam will read this. He's the big Tuvan throat singer fan.
    I like some of throat singing, but it's still a hard taste for me.

    So AWM dare me to do a Russian music exploring part of the 360 degrees of Russian Music?

  4. It's ambitious, but it could be rewarding.

    Here are the federal districts of Russia.

    I was going to say we could compile a tour mix, selecting one song from each, but the North Caucasian Federal District alone contains seven different "states."

  5. good stuff,

    Tartarstan will be fun.
    I had a friend in Tatarstan who used to give me music, but then I tried seducing her, and now we don't communicate anymore (she said no for the record)
    but CAXA, Tuva, altai, and siberia will be awesome.

    hmm, ew might have to narrow this ahaha

  6. Maybe. The magnitude wouldn't be unreasonable if the time frame was suited to it, though. One a week, for instance. Or a month even.

  7. Okay AWM,

    Then let's tone it down a bit.

    I challenge you to a Russian music post off.
    Sometime this week or next week post something (anything) related to Russian Music.

    Are you game ? :D

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
