Modern Love - David Bowie
2017-04-26: I am the king of the divan
Okay, this is definitely one of the relentlessly cheerful ones. Cheerful-sounding anyway because I have no idea what it's actually about (except his cat "Splash").
Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand
2017-04-24: Don't it feel good
This week is songs that always cheer me up. They might not all be super chipper songs (most them are), but for one reason or other they brighten my mood when I hear them.
Walking On Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
2017-04-23: The Bus Boys - Cleaning Up the Town
no idea why they didn't get more notice

2017-04-14: You can't kill time without injuring us
2017-04-13: but there's no going back

2017-04-10: I hear that you wanna ditch me but you know I'm not such a bad seed.
2017-04-09: Велик - Грибы
Ukranian band. Kinda like 90s style club music with rapping about chicks and psychedelics.
Thanks to the Gatest Gamer, we all know how to party like a Russian now. (The Party is never really over.)
2017-04-08: Песня 404 - Время и Стекло
Ukranian pop duo. Fun club like stuff. Do your rolls and let's party.
Party like a Russian week
2017-04-06: Света и Олег - #дископровокация
Russian band. 80s thing. Video includes barbie like doll threesome.

2017-04-05: ALTYN - TATARKA
Russian-Tatar trap. Tatarka(means tatar woman) lives in Russia, but raps in tatar.
Party like a Russian/Ukrainian Week
2017-04-04: Якутяночка - L'ONE
Pop music as it comes, but with one huge but. The song is about Yakut people, who are kinda like Inuit people of Russia. When was the last time Americans celebrated some of the natives of their land in pop music?
Party like a Russian/Ukrainian Week
2017-04-03: Город под подошвой - Oxxxymiron

2017-04-02: Give me your money - Little Big
Basically Russian Die Antwoord. Pretty crappy music, but fun video. Don't watch it around your boss or your kids. Or don't watch it at all, you won't miss much.
2017-04-01: Кольщик - Ленинград
Probably among the most popular Russian bands of the last 20 years. Leningrad started off as a ska-ish band with a shocking (for Russia at at that time) amount of profanity in lyrics, while singing about lower class Joe Shmoe problems (Yes I'm an alcoholic; I thought you were an angel, but you're just a bitch etc). Eventually that got old and the singer started hiring different women to take over and drive the music style. This is its current iteration with their latest video, which is hell of a masterpiece. The name of the band is Leningrad, I expect all of you know what it means. If you don't, just google it.
