Croatian woman with fast fingers and 'key-tar'

[DuX]

mmmh...bad-taste, satan-ridden pop charts, nationalistic rants... why don't you all come to italy and get real shocked? the most autotuned scene in the whole world.

anyway I want a contest based on Bones pictures manipulation. priceless shit

We call that "Italo" music here and yea, it's nasty

[tuzemec]

Of course Bulgaria is part of the Balkans
If I'm not wrong the name "Balkans" came from the old name of the mountan chan, that crosses Bulgaria and now it's called "Stara Planina".
Anyway...

Here we have a lot of definitions for "chalga" which is basicaly the same as "turbo-folk".

On the other side are projects like "Balkan Horses Band" (that's international formation - the guys are from Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey and so on). Samples here.

Sir, consider my hat officially tipped to you.

You are the KING of cool, obscure, music-related links.

Sorry, but the only person allowed to tweak my 'stache is myself

And keep your grubby hands off my beard, too!

It looks like I'm lording over shady Bulgarian real estate deals
/google ads crack me up sometimes...

[fateamenabletochange]

don't remember. sincere regrets.

little peeps

Very, and I mean VERY cool image . I'd like to have such moustache and a beard, but I usually shave them off after some time. Btw. nice links you've posted there, that's what REAL Balkan music is actually like. Did you check out Mizar or Anastasia maybe? They're really cool Macedonians playing ethnic music with a grain of electronics and guitars. They sound a bit dark, though, but I like that .

Big up yourself

[fateamenabletochange]

don't remember writing this below



terrible thing to say, and quite unlike my attitude generally
heartfelt apolagies

[galwaypark]

sorry,that was serbia.There are so many yugo's over here and generally they are cold fish.I am angrey that if a kiwi needs to see a shrink,more than likely they will be seeing a yugo or sud afric,or some kind of other foreigner from a basketcase civil war culture.Lions and tigers go loop de loop,animal crackers in my soup.

Yeah. So, you've still got the nerve to call someone else a racist?

[DuX]

Please keep racism themes out of here guys, it's so 20th century and tiresome. Although I don't like Serbs in general, too [and only them] because of what they did [and still doing to some] to Croatians and other members of former Yugoslavia, but I was raised in such anti-serb climate and I'm really trying not to be a victim of such prejudices. It should be generally understood that politicians are mostly to blame also. OTOH I don't care if someone is black or whatever as long as he/she is a good man. Especially artists shouldn't care and don't care as far as I can tell.
