A diversion from sciential communications
As a general rule I try to keep this page focused on the process of making the insect cast, although, truth be told, my interests aren’t as strongly embraced by entomology as Anna’s. But today, based on the fact that I committed to being a more frequent blogger and just found something online that I’m excited about, I going to devote a post to my true passion: music. And when I spent two years overseas in the peace corps, pretty much the most valuable thing I learned is that music doesn’t habe to be in English to be great. So check out the podcasts at www.russmus.net, especially parts 12, 13, and 14, which are all about Viktor Tsoi, who is kind of like a Russian John Lennon but bi-racial and with an un-sympathetic governemnt. Tsoi died in a car wreck more than 15 years ago, but, as graffiti in Russia reminds us, “Tsoi Lives.”
When I first got back from Russia the true strength of the internet was still nacent and there realy wasn’t much about Viktor Tsoi available online. Today, we’ve got this podcast from an Australian (I think?) from the legend of Russian rock. In a way, I guess I think that’s pertinent to the work we’re doing with InsectPod Cast.
