Contrary to what some people might believe, there is nothing wrong with having pleasures and enjoyments. What is wrong is the confused way we grasp onto these pleasures, turning them from a source of happiness into a source of pain and dissatisfaction. – Lama Thubten Yeshe, "Introduction to Tantra"

RE: Garik Sukachev - "Колечки"
Just another video on the song by Garik Sukachev.
The story:
Women - mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, girlfriends - come to see their men serving in the army somewhere (perhaps in Chechnya). Sure, this video is very allegoric and symbolic as we see all of them in one military quarter at the same time, they all are waiting for their men to come... and they finally see them... to be exact they see their dead bodies brought in sacks...
One phrase runsallthrough the song: 'Some will wear the wedding rings on their left hands and some - on their right ones...'

Garik Sukachev & The Untouchables - "Моя бабушка курит трубку"
Originally written by Maxi Schwarz-Bastami on January 7, 2009 5:31 PM
I am a mother with sons who are young men. I am a sister with brothers. I am a daughter. This is the reason.
I see now Maxi. Then I'd like to present another song, a more buoyant one... which I think will be especially suitable at the time of the current crisis...
'My granny smokes a pipe. She's got damn nothing left, she's got just three roubles in her purse but my granny smokes a pipe and when I drop in we have great fun and are happily drinking the strongest fiery rum...'
Garik Sukachev & The Untouchables - "Моя бабушка курит трубку" (My Granny Smokes a Pipe)
Liliana, I am an amateur musician who is still learning. I would say Nik is the real musician around here. I like music that has depth and substance to it. I'm in the process of broadening my understanding of different types of music - the more I understand, the more I like. A certain offspring of mine is responsible for opening that door.
Is this man/this group a "star" in Russia, Lithunia, somewhere? I mean, do they play him in the radio? Is he well-known?
One can hardly compare musicians but there are German ones I like a lot where text counts and often "critical" ones and there are many people who know these guys (rarely girls) but they are no real stars. You can see them on concerts where some hundred people go but you never see them in TV (or only after midnight...) - I suppose this is the same with Garik Sukachev, isn't it.
Or perhaps the mood in Russia is different - perhaps the people are more interested in good music than in "pop" music - perhaps I am totally mistaken
This mysterious "Russian Soul" you talked about in one of these posts, does it exist? My favorite writer often speaks of it and in his books I understand what he means but he is long dead....
