Well NPR took down the Zvezda rock and rolla song, but they have Ya Tak Liublu Tebya on their website --it is the first song on the list, which is written in Cyrillic. It's an early song, one they played when i went to see them. However Sergey Shnurov, the band's lead is different then when I saw them and it was Igor Vdovin, who is the guy on the left in this pic.
Here is their website. People are calling them punk/ska, which they have that style in a way, but its mixed with a heavy dose of that awful Russian oompah sound which makes it very crazed edgy sound. Lots of horns and well you just should listen to it, apparently after poking around a bit, they are really popular in Russia these days.

Well, that's how the education majors are seen, I can't control it. They did tend to complain more at the research aspect of the field, which in turn annoyed those of us who enjoyed it.
I'm glad I took a year of Russian, but the download times on those tracks are longer than the Trans-Siberian railroad. No dice. I'll have to search around on Limewire for these suckers so I can hear what they sound like.
One sickness I suffered from in high school was a preoccupation with Soviet art. In art class I always incorporated Soviet style into everything I made. There's just something unique and visceral about it. My favorite old army jacket has a "Young Pioneer" pin featuring a profile of comrade Lenin, as well as a Soviet army lapel pin. I also have a rather smart looking KGB cap.
Oh, and the Pablo Neruda book thing - he who pulls that - I give him big fat props. And if it hasn't been pulled, then I'll have to pull it first.
That dude on the right has Flock of Seagulls hair, btw.
