Have a bit of Beethoven on in the background these days working from home the odd time, good for the auld zen. Serious piece of music.

Russia is not all evil despite appearances

Of course it’s not. Nowhere is, well Clonaslee aside

They tried to warn us

Punk Rockers are always one step ahead of the rest

Russias greatest art is anti-soviet, anti-marxist, anti-bol…etc. it should all be banned though. Start with Solzhenitsyn

I have been listening to a lot of Russian music lately. Trying to make sense of it all. This is up there with the very greatest obvs.
None of it makes any sense. The tension in the Russian school is what sets it apart from the rest. Stravinsky I think Mastered it better than any. Shostakovic too maybe but always found him hard to warm too
