Off topic.

And here are some of my friends dancing.

Vysu lobu,
/P

But this is for the filmic Andrejs.

Marginally,
/P

And, more seriously—this.

Ahh, a most excellent post! This is an example of living culture, where trans-global corporate and Local Latgali mashup into globalocal! RFLMAO! (Maybe I need to elaborate on the acronym for those who fear the globalocal future?)
Thanks P!

Desecration of a classic like Red Heat is just plain offensive. I am sure Ambersun would agree.

Andrejs

P.S.
Very much enjoyed Rezekne Hits.

No trip through the Inflantyan realms of jūtūbs is complete without “bez PVN:”

Aja does it for me.

I loved Bez PVN. Thank you for the link, Roberts. Here’s more about the band… http://bezpvn.atzolys.lv

Very much enjoyed Rezekne Hits.

It’s a great piece, I think. Quite ambiguous, even, in the sense of high art. What do you think, Ambersun? You hail from these parts, no?

/P

So Andrejs loved Rezekne, Roberts and Aleksejs loved bez PVN - but my vote is for the “Pelis”.  Brightened my morning!

I have the latest from Kapļi, a Franco-Dvinskian collaboration, in .mp3 form… the francophones here might like it the most. I’m loath to post it ‘cause they didn’t. If anyone wants it, e-mail me.

Vysu lobu,
/P

I liked the ‘Pelis’ too!  The others were cute, funny, not necessarily in that order, but as far as “talent”, my vote still goes to Mara Upmane, Astro n’Out; I haven’t heard a better Latvian pop rock sound, yet.

Irena who is definitely biased about these things.

That video works on all levels. I really really liked the composition and pacing, and the beauty of it. And the fiscal conservative in me likes that it doesn’t cost much to shoot, you just need a good eye and imagination.

Andrejs

But I don’t think Ambersun liked it. It’s not very Latvian.

Woe is me,
/P

Peteris,
How do you think I get along in Amerika, “where nary is heard, a dear Latvian word” and the airwaves are American all day? 
Vienmer tikai labu tev

Your airwaves are AmeriKKKan all day, Ambersun? You should twist the dial. I am sure you can get Spanish more often than you might like, even prior to the Reconquista. 

Sonriendo,
/P

Are you nuts, Amerika is Latvian and has nothing to do with KKK.  Get yourself together and think Latvian not faux PC (politically (in)correct).  I wrote “American” airwaves for a reason, not English-only, but of course you rushed to your beloved judgment (again) and missed that. 
Visu labu even if you’re P(in)C,
/A
