Perhaps an alternative ending to no country for old men?

so that's what you were doing before Against Me!

... if you don't mind me saying, you've aged quite nicely.

If you just want to rrrol your R's, then move to Canada and write a Rrrol Up The Rim song for Tim Hortons. It's as easy as that :-)

I amazed by this post! Visotsky wasn't part of official Soviet culture, but he was very popular. First, he was an outstanding actor, and after was the poet and singer. His song about friendship, life, peace and love are amazing. Soviet government banned him as singer, but on his "underground" concerts were a lot of people and from every house you could hear his songs. This is one of the best his song.
Greetings from Russia and waiting AM! here.

Egor - you rock!

I also agree with Jesse.

Get a dialect coach and throw this bad boy in with the White Crosses B-sides!

It's not a band, Tom!

This person is some kind of of russian Bob Dyllan but without all drugs and hippy stuff.

It's a funny shit, but inspite of meaning of your songs, you're still like most americans who trully belive in cultural vacuum that starts where the american borders ends. "Woa! A guy with a guitar! Woa! Amazing - he can sing! He must be in the band like mine! I wanna post him in my blog to show some kids! And who the fucking cares about background!"

Background means a lot. Change the topic - it's fucking silly for a musician of your scale not to know the history of music you play.


Anyway AM! rocks.

what do you mean without hippy and drug staff? He was an alcoholic and died early because of this.
Extremely talanted guy he was. And more like Billy Bragg (or early AM!) than Dyllan. That is how it looks from the russian side.

Игорь said...

Nice find Tom.
Greetings from Moscow! Come visit us with Against Me! or on your own. It's not that bad here in late spring and summer.
Thanks for your music!

Ha this is great! Made me laugh after a stressful moment at work!

It is very good that here this song, it is necessary to make a cover, Vysotsky by the way was the addict and the alcoholic, but I all the same love it!!! Greetings from Russia!!!
