    My co-worker has given me a sticker to go over the Dell logo on my new laptop and her choice of sticker is how you know we understand one another

    the future has arrived and i dislike it

    I feel like there's a joke to be had here but I can't quite make it work

    Speaking of famous, this is a brief clip of Lidia Ruslanova, god knows how old, and even Westerners had heard of her at the time. She has a Wikipedia page. She died with her boots on in 1973.

    The balalaika player's hand is moving faster than the playback rate of this clip

    For example, without the Cyrillic I would not have found this Russian Betsy McGovern, whose right name [grabs battered elementary Russian paperback to check letters] I make out to be ... Zhanna Bichevskaya, doing the folkie version

    ... on utter whim you type "raz dva tri chetyre" into yr search engine and it offers you these future Russian mobsters

    Sometimes free-association is useful with the web, such as when you listen to the really great Grand Budapest Hotel version of "Svetit mesyats" for the thousandth time and you think about the "raz dva tri chetyre" countoff 2/3 through it and then ...

    A thing I just learned is that if you play "Lay All Your Love On Me" on a church organ, it sounds like the Canto at Gabelmeister's Peak

    OK so as I said last week before they took it down, I don't normally link car ads but this one is hilarious on Planet Boston, so here you go. ("big game"--someone didn't pay $$$ to say "Super Bowl"!)

    WAIT WAIT I SPOKE TOO SOON WE HAVE A LAST-MINUTE SUBMISSION. (Like Cher, I think Kylie Minogue always sort of operates on this basic level so this is functionally equivalent to the original) OK, really done now, honest.

    Ignore the visuals, they're a bad match. ABBA was noted for cheerful-sounding songs with sad lyrics. This is a depressing-sounding song with extremely optimistic lyrics, but you have to actually listen to them to realize that. Stephen Coates understands.

    This one seems to me to miss the fun, though I do like Luka Bloom's voice and the general style. It's just ... I don't think "Dancing Queen" should be a sedate song.

    I can always count on Francis to take a music challenge and run with it in an entirely unexpected direction, usually perpendicular to the plane of context (it's pretty good, too, if your metal tolerance is high enough)

    As a side effect to all this, Beth has just about convinced me to watch the two Mamma Mia films on the basis of sheer exuberant charm, even if none of the men in them can sing.

    This is also an interesting and valid approach that happens to not work for me personally. (I paused to listen to three unrelated tracks to see if Fulks' voice annoyed me each time. It did. I'm sorry.)

    Now let's talk about some things folks sent me that weren't Cher or Erasure. I admire Beth Gibbons for audacity in making a bouncy song with sad lyrics into a grim song with sad lyrics. (And in general I like Portishead.) However, it is not for me.

    I mean really, this one's almost unrecognizable, and points for that too.

    Mostly, I'm astonished that they managed to convert ABBA songs so easily into sounding like Erasure songs.
