Dear colleagues:

Here's one "out of left field," in case anyone might be interested.
I was watching an American commercial film made in 1955, "Soldier
of Fortune," starring Clark Gable and based on a novel by Ernest K
Gann.  A secondary role is played by ANNA STEN (1908-93), a
Russian-Ukrainian-German actress who migrated to the US in
1933 and never left.  In this 1955 film, there is an episode in a
beer hall, in which everybody gets drunk, philosophizes nostalgically,
sobs, laughes, and even fights.    Right in the midst of this drunken
revelry, Miss Sten sings an old Russian song,   even climbs up on a
table and dances to the music.

Not recognizing the song (I have a tin ear for singing), I asked my
knowledgeable colleague Dmitrii Vasil'evich Bobyshev, a native
Russian poet and also a scholar, now located here at the University
of Illinois.    He immediately recognized it as "Tsyplenok zharenyi"
["Fried Chick"!], a sort of comic political song from the decade (appx.)
of 1918-28.    My knowledge of similar comic or nonsense songs,
unfortunately, is limited to the likes of Danny Kaye, Spike Jones,
Ish Kabibble, "Polly Wolly Doodle," and "Mairzy Doats," so this
was a new one for me.

And since Dmitrii Vasil'evich was kind enough to forward to me the
complete lyrics of Anna Sten's song (i.e., sung by her in "Soldier of
Fortune"), I attach those lyrics below.   Comments are welcome.

Best wishes to all,
Steven P Hill,

Цыплёнок жареный
музыка и слова народные
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Цыплёнок жареный,
Цыплёнок пареный
Пошёл по Невскому гулять.
Его поймали,
Арестовали,
Велели паспорт показать.

Паспорта нету -
Гони монету,
Монеты нет - сымай штаны.
Цыплёнок жареный,
Цыплёнок пареный,
Штаны цыплёнку не нужны.

- Я не советский,
Я не кадетский,
А я куриный комиссар -
Я не расстреливал,
Я не допрашивал,
Я только зёрнышки клевал!

Но власти строгие,
Козлы безрогие,
Его поймали как в силки.
Его поймали,
Арестовали
И разорвали на куски.

Цыплёнок жареный,
Цыплёнок пареный
Не мог им слова возразить.
Судьёй задавленный,
Он был зажаренный...
Цыплёнки тоже хочут жить!

I wonder why isn't it focused on the wake of Kthulu bringing the
soviet union down.

I wish they brought more attention to rock itself than to politics,
which they don't understand anyway :)

By the way, ���� ���������� (the lyricist of ����� ����, Nautilus
Pompilius and �����) wrote these three articles a while ago; they
pretty close the question about russian rock and politics.

Privetik,

Sergio and I are pleased to announce a new group blog on (post) Soviet
popular music:

http://ps-popular-music.blogspot.com/

The blog is bilingual with posts both in Russian and English (or sometimes
both - depending on the author). We define popular music in a broad sense,
in other words anything from rock to pop.  Geographically we also include
the post Soviet diaspora.

Hope you enjoy it and feel free to leave comments!

Hi,

after a wonderful week in Mexico City at the biannual IASPM-conference (and in
other
places afterwards) here's a small report. The panel that Yngvar Steinholt, Mark
Yoffe and I
organized on Soviet- and Post-Soviet popular music ended up being a four person
panel
with Yngvar Steinholt, Sergio Mazzanti, Lena Kopylova and me presenting five
papers (on
Televizor, DDT, Soviet Rock Opera, contemporary popular music in St. Petersburg
and the
use of folklore in (Post-) Soviet popular music). It was very interesting and we
discussed
i.a. the role of popular music in the Soviet Union (against the regime or not?
Alexei
Yurchak's  book "Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet
Generation"
and the concept of vne raises some important issues to be considered in future
discussions). The next world conference will be in Liverpool (UK) 2009 and I
warmly
recommend you to join IASPM (www.iaspm.net) if you are interested in popular
music
studies.

Finally, I would like to remind everybody about the call for abstracts for the
special edition of Popular Music and Society on Post-Soviet popular
music - the deadline is September 1st, 2007 (see the cfa below).

Do skorogo,

POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Special Issue: "Popular Music in the Post-Soviet Space: Trends,
Movements, and Social Contexts"
Guest-Editors: Yngvar Steinholt, Troms� University
David-Emil Wickstr�m, University of Copenhagen
Mark Yoffe, George Washington University
Fifteen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, popular music
is thriving in the former Soviet territories and covers a broad
variety of genres.  Among these are rock bands formed in the Soviet
era, surviving legends of Soviet pop, and younger bands and
performers of the 1990s and 2000s. Local and foreign musics blend as
new impulses arrive from without and arise from within the region.
Thanks to the most recent wave of Russian emigrants, these popular
musics have also spread to various localities around the world, as
exemplified by the phenomenon of "Russendisko" in Berlin or the
Russkii Rok-Klub v Amerike (Russian Rock Club of America).
This special edition of Popular Music and Society aims to present
research on contemporary
popular music (broadly defined) in the former Soviet republics and
their diasporas.  A central issue will be how the musical landscape
has changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union: What present
trends can be observed?  How has the Soviet context influenced the
popular music of today?  How is music performed and consumed?  How
has the interrelationship between cultural industry and performers
developed?  How are nationalist sensibilities affecting popular music
and vice versa? What are the future potentials and orientations of
popular music in and around this vast region?
Contributions are welcomed from researchers in all disciplines
involved in the study of popular
music in the post-Soviet space: popular music studies,
ethnomusicology, Russian studies, literature studies, culture
studies, sociology, history, linguistics, folklore, journalism.
Deadline for abstracts (maximum 600 words): 1. September 2007
Submission instructions: Submit abstract by e-mail to Yngvar
Steinholt at:
<yngvar.steinholt@...>
Tentative schedule:
1 September 2007: deadline for abstracts
1 September 2008: deadline for articles (must be in MLA format)
Spring 2009: special issue published
Journal websites: <http://www.niu.edu/popms> and
<http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/03007766.asp>

Hi David-Emil, hi all,

As (probably not just) my Swedish is zero, is there anyone in our

Call For Submissions: High/Low: The Arts, Literature & Popular Culture

<http://www.columbia.edu/cu/slavic/etc/pubs/ulbandus/index.html>

The 11th edition of ULBANDUS, the Slavic Review of Columbia
University, will be dedicated to theorizing and analyzing the
relationships between the arts, literature, and popular culture in
Russia, the former Soviet Union, and Central and Eastern Europe.
Submissions should address some aspect of how art and literature
relate to popular culture in this part of the world.  Examples of
possible topics for exploration include:

� What does `popular' mean in relation to literature and culture? In
what ways do artistic, literary
	 and popular cultures relate to and/or depend on one another?

� How have the divisions and relations between `high' and `low'
culture functioned over time?
	 At what periods and historical moments has their status or
relationship to one another changed?

� How have artistic, literary and popular cultures been defined or
complicated by form, media,
	 technological progress, etc?

� How have the cultural, political, and historical legacies of Russia,
the Soviet Union, and Central and
	 Eastern Europe affected the interactions between `high' and `low' art
forms in this area of the world?

� How have earlier literary and other art forms been redefined or
reconfigured as a result of shifts
	 towards mass modes of production, distribution, or consumption?

� How have changes in notions of culture and literacy affected the
relationship between art,
	 literature, and popular culture?

Popular culture could include any area of culture related to the daily
life and practices of a broad spectrum of the public, including but
not limited to:

� the domestic sphere (cooking), clothing (fashion), and means of
consumption (shopping);
� popular literature (popular/pulp fiction, comics, children's lit.,
women's lit., etc.);
� current events and the mass media (film, television, magazines,
newspapers, radio, the Internet);
� entertainment and `popular' art forms (gambling, sports, jokes,
cabaret, street theatre, graffiti);
� observance of holidays and other practices of commemoration.

As always, Ulbandus welcomes non-traditional and/or experimental
pieces, and contributions from outside the Slavic field are warmly
invited. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is May 31, 2007.
Final submissions need to be received by September 30 to be considered
for publication.

Manuscripts should be double-spaced and not exceed 25 pages in length.
Artwork should be submitted in TIFF format at a resolution of at least
600 dpi. Electronic submissions (in .rtf format for text) are strongly
encouraged. Submissions, as well as any queries, should be emailed to
<ulbandus@...>.  Sumissions may also be sent in hard copy by
mail, to:

ULBANDUS
Columbia University
1130 Amsterdam Avenue, Mail code 2839
New York, NY, 10027 (USA)

For posted submissions, please include two (2) print copies as well as
a copy in rich text file on CD-R. For further details, see our website
at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/slavic/etc/pubs/ulbandus/index.html .
Ulbandus is a peer-reviewed journal.

POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Special Issue: "Popular Music in the Post-Soviet Space: Trends,
Movements, and Social Contexts"

Guest-Editors: Yngvar Steinholt, Troms� University
David-Emil Wickstr�m, University of Copenhagen
Mark Yoffe, George Washington University


Fifteen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, popular music
is thriving in the former Soviet territories and covers a broad
variety of genres.  Among these are rock bands formed in the Soviet
era, surviving legends of Soviet pop, and younger bands and
performers of the 1990s and 2000s.  Local and foreign musics blend as
new impulses arrive from without and arise from within the region.
Thanks to the most recent wave of Russian emigrants, these popular
musics have also spread to various localities around the world, as
exemplified by the phenomenon of "Russendisko" in Berlin or the
Russkii Rok-Klub v Amerike (Russian Rock Club of America).

This special edition of Popular Music and Society aims to present
research on contemporary popular music (broadly defined) in the
former Soviet republics and their diasporas.  A central issue will be
how the musical landscape has changed since the collapse of the
Soviet Union: What present trends can be observed?  How has the
Soviet context influenced the popular music of today?  How is music
performed and consumed?  How has the interrelationship between
cultural industry and performers developed?  How are nationalist
sensibilities affecting popular music and vice versa?  What are the
future potentials and orientations of popular music in and around
this vast region?

Contributions are welcomed from researchers in all disciplines
involved in the study of popular music in the post-Soviet space:
popular music studies, ethnomusicology, Russian studies, literature
studies, culture studies, sociology, history, linguistics, folklore,
journalism.

Deadline for abstracts (maximum 600 words): 1. September 2007

Submission instructions: Submit abstract by e-mail to Yngvar
Steinholt at:

<yngvar.steinholt@...>

Tentative schedule:

1 September 2007: deadline for abstracts
1 September 2008: deadline for articles (must be in MLA format)
Spring 2009: special issue published

Journal websites: <http://www.niu.edu/popms> and <http://

Heyas all!

I just joined this group. Some may know me as I am the admin of the
site Russmus.Net (http://www.russmus.net/)

I am trying to build a community centered on Russian music on my site,
with translations of song lyrics, information on modern bands, etc.
You're welcome to drop by my site and if some of you have song
translations and such I'd be happy if you shared them with us!

- Katya
russmus.net

Would anyone out there have any information about the current Polish musician
"Jerzy
Zlotnicki" (evidently member of a trio)?  I encountered his name in my Google
search for
information on a Polish stage- and screen-ACTOR named Jerzy (Jurek) Zlotnicki.
So I now face the question:  is the Polish ACTOR "Jerzy Zlotnicki" the same
person as the
Polish MUSICIAN "Jerzy Zlotnicki"?  Or are they 2 different, unrelated
individuals?
2d:  if they are 2 different people, then where might I find biographical data
on the MUSICIAN
Zlotnicki?  (I already have biog. data on the ACTOR with that name.)
With thanks,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois. (USA).
__ __ __ __ ___ __ __ __ __

The first article is nice for its history section, but where is
Nautilus Pompilius? :)
Where are siberian punk bands?
Where are russian heavy metal bands? :)

That puts some bias on Leningrad rock bands...

As for next two articles, I didn't really read them :)
