Next up: Vlad(ivostok)'s finest.
This'll be interesting.

The first song's title apparently translates to "suddenly the trains left" ...?
And the first song so sounds like Talking Heads ... but in Russian. I can go for that.
How much are the lyrics actually about trains?
I downloaded a copy with the song titles all translated into English, so that's cool. Up to the end of Vladivostok 2000 right now and it's pretty good, I think my favourite since the first one.
Not sure why you were so worried - if the album stays this quality all the way through, it's an easy 3.5/5. Maybe a 4 if I keep listening to it.
You like the Talking Heads
Ax?
I think I was a bit skeptical as to if you'd like it as I wasn't really aware on what you thought about Britpop and I generally just found it a mismatch in comparison to what I know about your music tastes. But I'm happy you're enjoying the album, I feel it does get stronger towards the conclusion.
As for the song's lyrics, here's a quick Google Translate job I did.
As if suddenly drunk on the night
Forgot to disable the light
This was the light of
Lips, whispering, wine
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The driver said the gray
Referring to a map of the country
Look on the bridges - s
Cigarettes, flowers
And the trains are gone
Taken to the other side
From thee far, far, far away
Lai-lai-la-la-la-lai
But let me get it all
I weave thee ready on the grass
Can the glass in the snow on the concrete floor
And if no pity for such treasures
Divide them with me or leave to look
Let the corner of my eye, a hundred years
Or even from other planets
In the telescope
Cut the wings of glass
choking noose
The plane of the star run so far, fly
Over the head of an arrow
perish for ever
Sginem suddenly into the ocean
Do not like, do not forget, is not open
Dam-dam-da-da-da-dum
I've honestly never listened to much Britpop outside of the big radio hits (and The Verve's Urban Hymns album, even if it's borderline). But I am of an age that I can sing every word of a shitload of Oasis songs and enjoy a wave of childhood nostalgia as I do so.
улад, гэта дзень, позна, але шчаслівы дзень кастрычніцкай рэвалюцыі.
Is Belarusian public holiday. Like you telling me "Happy Veteran's Day" or something.
Have you given an LCD Soundsystem ALBUM a listen, Ax? He's definitely heavily influenced by them, bell X1 as well. If you're ever feeling the need to listen to electropop, Friendly Fires first album owes a bit to them as well, IMO.
Hey, Ax. If you do have to give up the bunny, Sheldon the Wonder Cat is still available. New version: I'm a destructive little shitball.
I think you should give their most recent album a spin, I really do.
Won't that make me a friggin' Cobbler, starting with the latest album rather than the "right" one?
