I might as well introduce myself as I am new. My name's Joe Crescente. I am a graduate student at Indiana University. Currently I am researching Russian...
hi! thank you joe for your introduction! your project sounds interesting - could you maybe elaborate a little. furthermore, i was wondering, what kind of music...
Hi David, My project concerns defining Chanson essentially. I've asked 50 different Russians what Chanson is, and I've received 50 different answers. I believe...
Hi, just wanted to chime in here for the first time, because your inability to get a "good definition" of chanson from Russians mirrors my experience. While...
hi! thank you stephen and joe for you introductory messages and interesting comments. just some thoughts that came to my mind. regarding chanson and stephen's...
The distinction between Popsa and Chanson, in my opinion, is that the one (Popsa) is based upon western modern techno/"sugar pop" music and that Chanson is a...
That might be true on a "sociological level," but on a purely musical level, much of popsa has very little to do with "western" pop. Much of it, in fact, is...
David, in a nutshell, I'm looking at the relationships between Russian popular musics and homosexuality, both in terms of the ways popular culture opens up (or...
hi! i would differentiate here between a historical approach to the genres 'popsa' and 'chanson' and how the terms are used discursive today. of course there...
David-Emil: I think everyone would agree that definitions of genres and/or styles are never hard and fast, and are always defined via various (often...
Okay, things are "relative" and all of that, but the issue is that Russians perceive this issue of "what is chanson/popsa?" both as diachronic as well as...
Hi Stephen, quite an interesting topic. Tho I don't quite get, how 'gender' and 'gays' (I hate that term 'homosexual') come together in your work, my main...

Hi Ira. First, I actually dislike the term "gay," because it has so many cultural/temporal/political connotations that may not be operative accross a wider...
<<because i don't feel I didn't do any fieldwork regarding gay women in Piter and Moscow>> urg, it's early - that SHOULD be "because I don't feel I did any...
Thank you, Sergio, for your interesting contribution in Chanson discussion. I (though I represent a certain temporal point of view that was mostly formed...
I've been following the chanson discussion with great interest. Although I tend to agree with Rozenbaum's assessment of the term and its applicability to the...
Very interesting musings, Anthony, thank you. Indeed being somewhat bi-cultural (Russian/French) Vysotsky was under direct influences of both blatnaia...
I agree with Anthony about Leningrad and the thing that is most interesting about them is that they don't try to frame themselves into one specific sub-genre....
I totally agree that calling Leningrad Chanson is polnaia khuinia. Indeed! Then The Bostons are Chanson too... As to urban folklore, I have to respectfully...
I haven't heard much about how French culture influenced Vysotsky. Obviously he was married to Marina Vladi and traveled to France, but I wasn't aware that he...
Dear colleagues: You probably do not recall the questons I raised about jazz singer & actress NATALIA (NATALYA) NAZAROVA on this forum several months ago. I...
