Iceberg (1984) (banned by Soviet tv):
What's It Gonna Be? (2007):
In terms of longevity and popularity, she is Russia's version of a cross between Madonna and Barbra Streisand. But otherwise there is really no comparison, as you can see. Ivan says she is at least the second most powerful person in Russia.
I wish I could keep up with Russian slang. It's so koolna, you have no idea. Neither do I, really. But my Russian is not only rusty, it dates to dorky Soviet-era textbooks. Sigh.
So I'll just say to my komrad Ivan Lenin: С днём рождения, дуд!

I have the best taste in music. I am reminded of that constantly.
And I am discovering all sorts of music I had never heard of before, by listening to last.fm. This is one of the good uses of the Internet. Register (it's easy) and be my friend ("zhevachka") and we can see what each other is listening to and share recommendations. Your listening is guided by your tastes. The snapshot of your tastes gets more refined the more you listen, and you can also refine it more by meshing your profile with your itunes content.
There are wikis about the artists you listen to. Why are wikis getting so damn popular? Because why take the trouble to import official, fact-checked and copyedited bios of artists when you can get some marginally literate stoner shlub to do it for free?
But anyway, the wiki issue aside, you really should do this. If you like music, anyway.
