Ленинград- Пираты XXI века Leningrad- Pirates of the XXI Century-(2002)

Ok, Russian readers- marks out of ten for my translation? In my learning of Russian, which I admit is very limited , I owe the most (by a long, long way) to my girlfreind Natalia, secondly to my former teacher Galina and thirdly to Sergei "Shnur" Shnurov of Gruppa Leningrad.

I don’t remember when we moved,
I was probably drunk at the time.
My address is not a house or a street
Today my address goes like this:

w-w-w Leningrad s-p-b dot ru

When a cop stops me and says
You’re not registered anywhere
I answer calmly
Today my address goes like this:

w-w-w Leningrad s-p-b dot ru

When I get really drunk
I stop the motor
Alright, chief, let’s go home,
I’ll show you the way.

w-w-w Leningrad s-p-b dot ru

The shy and retiring Shnur...

Рубль- Совесть (2009)

I wouldn't normally post something this new, but I doubt that it's widely available outside Russia.
When Leningrad split up in 2008 Shnur (Sergei Shnurov) formed Рубль (Rubl).
The punk elements are more to the fore on this seven track 'maxi single', Совесть (Conscience).


Рубль- touring Russia in February, apparently...

Бумер Original Soundtrack (2003)

Бумер (Boomer) is an award winning 2003 Russian film directed by Peter Buslov. Four crooks go on the run, a road trip taken in the stolen BMW (Бумер) of the title.
It depicts the lost generation of the Yeltsin era economic crisis as Russia came to terms with capitalism and the 'free market'.
Blurb: Corrupt cops, street gangs, "Bratki" , angry truck drivers, beautiful women and death are what four friends in a black boomer who go on a mission from one region of Russia to another are about to face in the wasteland of small-town Russia.
The soundtrack features 8 tracks by Sergei Shnurov (Сергей Шнуров) aka Shnur, of the band Leningrad.
