Григорий Лепс: Водопад

I am listening to the album "Водопад" by Григорий Лепс. He is definitely one of my favorite singers. His style is truly international. I know people who would not listen to his music, because his songs are not in English. That is something I do not understand. Even if I could not understand any of his lyrics I would still love his music. I wish I spoke Russian well enough to understand everything he sings, but I can still appreciate his music. "Черный Снегопад" is a great song. Actually I have not heard him sing a song that I did not like. I would definitely love to see him perform in concert. I would have to travel abroad to do that, but I want to do that anyway. He has a great voice.

"The Best of Loka Nunda"

I am listening to "The Best of Loka Nunda." This is great music. Loka Nunda is a very talented and sexy man. I really like his recording of the Gary Numan song, "Down in the Park." He has recorded with one of my favorite singers, Nina Hagen. I really like his voice. His music videos are very hot to me. In addition to being a singer and song writer he is a performance artist. producer and songwriter.
Among my favorites among his songs are "Hot Leather Bitch," "Stomp Stomp" and "Cum Together." The latter is not on this album. Listening to his music makes me want to dance. Watching his music videos makes me want to do something else. He is a musician I would definitely like to meet in person. I would love to be one of his groupies.

Kazaky - A Great Band from Ukraine

I first I heard for the first time Kazaky, a synthpop band based in Kiev, Ukraine. The current band members are Kirill Fedorenko, Artur Gaspar and Artemy Lazarev (Кирило Федоренко, Артур Гаспар and Артемій Лазарєв). Former band members are Stas Pavlov, Francesco Borgato, Oleg Zhezhel (Стас Павлов, Франческо Боргато and Олег Жежель). I am listening to their album, "I Like It (Part Two)." Their name, Kazaky (Козаки) is the Ukrainian word for Cossacks. According to Wikipedia, the band says that their name does not refer to Cossacks but is a form of a Japanese name, Kazaki. They perform their songs in English. The members of the band are trained dancers, and they are great dancers. They mix masculine and feminine in their attire. They wear revealing clothing and spiked-heel shoes. Their music is a lot of fun. They released their first single in 2010. They first performed in the U.S.A. in 2011. They appeared in a music video by Madonna for her song "Girl Gone Wild." According to their website they had concerts in Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and other countries in 2015. In addition to recording great dance music and being amazing dancers they are sexy. I want to hear more of their music. I am glad that I found their music.

Andrew W.K.: The Wolf

"The Wolf" was the second CD by Andrew W.K. His First CD, "I Get Wet," was a lot of fun, and this one is like that one in some ways. He is known mostly for his party anthems like "Party Hard" and "She Is Beautiful." At first listen "The Wolf" could sound like simplistic party anthems, but on closer we can hear that there is some complexity. On this CD Andrew W.K. played most of the instruments. He had studied jazz keyboards in high school. The songs on this CD are definitely fun. Andrew W.K. wrote all of the songs and produced the CD as well. He has recorded in different styles since these CD's were released. I definitely would like to find more of his music. He is also a motivational speaker, music producer radio personality. He is also a brony.

North Carolina: A State Where the People Don't Matter

North Carolina is a state where the rights of many people do not matter. Employers can fire workers for any reason. The governor just signed into a law that would not allow any city to pass any anti-discrimination laws. Transgender individuals are being forced into using public restrooms based on the gender on their birth certificates. This is something that is very difficult to change. This law shows ignorance on the part of the government. Years ago I read the autobiography of Christine Jorgensen. In it she wrote that her chromosomes at birth had been XXY instead of XX or XY. She had been born with male genitalia, but her health had not been very good until gender reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments. The male hormones had been the cause of her health problems. There have also been cases where a child is born with male and female genitalia. A decision is made as to which gender is assigned to the child. There is always the possibility that the decision made is incorrect. It is also legal in this state for businesses to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. The governor, Pat McCrory, and the legislators who passed this law need to be voted out of office.

We Need to Elect a New Congress

Too many members of Congress are more interested in making the President of the United States look bad than they are in doing what is good for the country. This is especially true of Republicans. This has become more and more obvious. Mitch McConnell refuses to have hearings for President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court. Again and again Republicans in congress have opposed any progress that the President has wanted to make. They do this even when their lack of action has hurt the country. It is time to vote out of office those who think that making the President look bad is better than doing what they were elected to do. The politicians who put the desires of the rich, PAC's and special interest groups like the NRA ahead of their constituents need to be voted out of office. The NRA, big pharmaceutical companies, big banks, and other large corporations are who many elected officials really represent. This needs to end. The people need to take control. People think that the U.S.A. is a democracy. It never has been. It has always been an oligarchy.

Socially Responsible?

I worked as a temp in the distribution center of a well-known maker of underwear who claims to be socially responsible. The company is based in North Carolina. At one time their product was manufactured in the U.S.A. , but much of their manufacturing is now being done abroad. When the company was asked why they were having more of the manufacturing done abroad they gave two reasons: many other companies were doing it and it saved money. In the distribution center where I was working there were people who had worked as temps for five years. The temp workers had no benefits and no job security. While I was working there a new computer system was implemented. The company started using the system before it was working properly. As a result of this no product was being shipped. This caused a backlog or orders to be shipped. The company paid millions of dollars for this computer system to be installed. Workers from the software company were housed in hotels while they were installing the system. When the system started functioning it was necessary for workers in the distribution center to work seven days a week. Eventually the work schedule returned to normal. Then the company said that they had to cut expenses. All temp workers were laid off. The people who cost the company millions of dollars by implementing a computer system before it was ready to be used faced no consequences for their bad decision. It was the workers who were paid for that mistake.
