Lena - Listened to stuff on MySpace. I really like that music quite a bit believe it or not. especially "Goodbye" and "Perfect Day..." Far superior to what is shown here in my shallow little opinion. That music feels more genuine to me. My wife would like it as well.I really dig the way you've taken those elements of groove,rap, and classic Russian music & woven them together. It works splendidly! Living Her Dream - interesting chords, the iii chord under a VII interval. Shostakovich? Haunting.
Marianne Faithful. I get the connection now. It's funny because when I first watched this video I was reminded (strongly) of the film The Blue Angel with Marlene Dietrich. Marianne has always reminded me of that film.I think the thing that really caught me off guard was that bizarre outfit. I hate it :( sorry. I also love your natural singing voice. This "feels" a little force to me but again, I'm watching a video of a moment in time, it isn't the same thing as participating in that moment.
Lena - Thanks for your note. You are amazingly cordial. Regardless of anything else (my lack of understanding of your art) you are obviously at the core of your being, a very good-hearted human being and that, of course, is more important than anything else in this life. You've taught me a life-lesson I will never forget. Thank you.
"visions of swastikas in my head, and plans for everyone. It's in the whiiiiiiiite, of my eyes." Listen to Iggy sing that, it'll make your skin crawl.

on the other hand, this is a nice version of China Girl. Not quite 21st Century Schizoid Man, but very good, nevertheless.

Very cool! I like this much more than Bowie or Pop's versions.
