17 April, 2006 - More music in the
about_me section. A 2002 album of Shivaree - Rough Dreams.
11 April, 2006 - 9 more songs that I like in the About me section. The bitrates are not high, and in one case surprisingly low, but the songs are worth it. In any case many of us listen to them on our PCs, which do not provide the very best of sound available on the market. The songs for today are the following:
- Akvarium with a song Shumelka from the new album.
- Alexander Vasil'ev (Splin) with an acoustic version of Maria and Juana
- Craig Armstrong with two compositions (one of them instrumental) from the OST Plunkett and Macleane
- Jack Johnsons with the only song of his I have - Taylor. Also acoustic
- Konstantin Kinchev and Rikoshet with a very strange version of Kibitka
- Miguel Bose with La noche me gusta. The song is beatiful and spanish, what else may one ask for?! :)
- Shivaree with Goodnight Moon, which is encoded in exceptionally low bitrate, but is a gem nonetheless.
- Tanita Tikaram, she is mostly famous for her song Twist in My Sobriety, but this one is also v.good - Amore Si
- Pjanstvu Bojs i Mister Maloj with the song Shljuhenshtrasse Frojlen, I don't think it will be of much interest to English speakers, at least of much less interest than to the Russians. But still. Give it a try :)
10 April, 2006 - Opera also work fine for this version of the site. Even though the w3 validator finds 50 errors on the page :). In any case I also found and corrrected several broken links.
09 April, 2006 - I have tested the site in FireFox 1.5, and SeaMonkey 1.0 seems to lok fine in both. So Drue at least this problem seems to be alleviated. There is still a matter of rogue broken links tho, so if you people encounter any - let me know, ok?.

People section. 6 new photos from Russia, where I currently am.

На ДР
Сегодня Миша именинник
Ему сегодня двадцать восемь
Блестит умом его затылок
Во лбу ответ на все вопросы
И независимой улыбкой
От глаз серьезных отошедшей
Он избавляется от пытки
Скорбеть о жизни сумасшедшей
