Youtubey/Podcasty Things
MEMORIES OF PEACE TIME: Here’s a magical (and hilarious) 2013 performance of “Let It Be” by Russian pop star Zemfira singing in Kiev — joined by Ukrainian rock star Sviatoslav Vakarchuk (of Okean Elzy)– they don’t remember the English lyrics so they have to sing while looking at the screen of Zemfira’s phone. Zemfira’s second song, (an anti-violence song which translates as “Don’t Shoot” ) was the same song she later sang at a Moscow concert two days after Russia attacked Ukraine in Feb 2022. (After being harassed and labeled as a “foreign agent” by the Putin regime, Zemfira eventually moved to France). (YT)
My favorite Zemfira song is Не отпускай (Don’t let go). Here’s a live performance (YT) Here’s the original music video and song from 15 years earlier (YT)
I’m the Baby song from the Dinosaurs TV show (YT). Now that’s an earworm!

Bandcamp Purchases
Dronarium is a bandcamp music label with two killer Name-Your-Price compilations: Into the White (2016 Sampler) and Illuminations (2017 Sampler)
- 11:28 by Dragons & Astronauts. Middle of the road Ohio rock.
- Strange Is The Way by M. John Henry
- I’m So Afraid Of Where by Bottom Bracket
- Hello, Again by Kittyhawk
- Variations on Fripp & Eno’s “Eve… by Cloudland Blue Quartet. Good album in Emo’s style, but it contains a lot of extra (and I would say unnecessary tracks).
- Year of the Hare, Year Of The Tiger and Year of the Pig by Fucked Up. Post-rock/heavy metal soundscapes. Really amazing. Unfortunately I left 3 or 4 other NYP albums by this group; maybe next time?
- Remembering Ralph (Free Downloads) by Paul Winter
- Two by The Nothing: Junk Space and Dekard’s Tale
- The Golden Swan by handwrist
- everything i lack by Elliott Green
