Yeah I agree!

I am very sad to hear this, but I totally feel you bro. We are both young men and we should not feel this way. If you want to talk to me more privately add me on other platforms, my username is sebbivism. Gym is a good choice and I aim to go there myself but my mental health is not allowing me right now, I'm not brave enough but soon very soon I will be there.

Yeah, I also was very surprised by his decision, but it's true

Wow, this was very surprising... In these days, you can't really know for sure if his opinions are his own or if someone tells him what to think. Maybe he gives the "right answers" so that he will be out of trouble. But still fascinating.

Yeah, I guess everyone had made his own choice in this situation

Hello Kostya! Yeah I listened to it some days ago! I liked it!

That's awesome 🙂

How is life in Ukraine? Hope you're doing good

Oh yep, that's really perfect music for summer and for dancing. i haven't listened a new song yet

Yes, absolutely! You must hear it... It's called "Vin Diesel"

Okey, my favorite is probably "Девичник" I know the lyrics by now, so I can sing along! Haha!

I'm still amazed by your's love to russian and ukranian languages, that's really awesome. Feel free if you have questions about grammar and spelling, pronunciation in these languages, etc. I will be glad if I will be able to help anyway.

I often reading texts those songs what I'm currently listening and in that way I learning new words and useful phrases and practice my pronunciation although I don't have any human being to speak to, I always speak only to myself, but I'm sure that's a powerful technique

Yes, I do the same! I have learned a lot of Russian words through the music I've been listening to! But most of the artists sing the lyrics so fast I can't learn every single word

I thought Ukraine shouldn't make it either, but Ukrainian people and the military is strong and Ukraine's victory is important for the whole world! I was watching a documentary on YouTube from Bachmut and this was the most devastating pictures, I feel for the whole Ukraine.

Yeah, bakhmut is the most brutal and dangerous area of whole war, but even is wagner's mercenaries are take the city, it doesn't have any something crucial point of war

So, it's mean for me that he's a good person as well he does like that👍

They report from the war daily on TV and in news papers so Swedish people are well-aware what is happening although journalist perhaps should explain a little bit more the actual situation why western Ukraine is wanted by Russia, for Swedes, Ukraine is Ukraine including Crimea anyway...

eastern Ukraine, my bad haha

I don't know if you ever watch Eurovision but yesterday I read that we have voted a Ukrainian singer Maria Sur directly to the final of Melodifestivalen which is our national selection for Eurovision. She is a Ukrainian girl living in Sweden during the war.

No I know, I only listen to music in my home and in my car. I usually don't listen at work.

Oh, I listening music when I home, when I walking, when I'm at work, I just addicted from music and I never will be enough

I am also addicted to music but unfortunately I can't listen at work, and I don't think my colleagues want to listen to my odd music taste.

Haha, I know... I love metal but from Japan. Bring me the Horizon is not bad but there were one of two albums lately where they changed the sound and I didn't like the new sound, I prefer the first albums.

I'm opposite more like later albums, because more earlier albums are too tough for me:)

I understood everything without problem, haha! Yes but the 360 turn for Lazarev is most likely because they wanted more celebrities to promote the war, as regular people tend to listen to these kind of people better instead of politicians. Basically the politicians was going after Lazarev's private life and relatives if he didn't changed his opinion regarding the "special operation". There must be some reason most of Russian celebrities moved to Dubai and Turkey... Gagarina was sold immediately because she has done that before and there is a lot of money behind it. Why would you perform in a celebration party for annexation of Crimea. Karma will get them eventually.

Oh, that's right don't even see it, that you're a listen male artists too, it's probably that I constantly thinking about woman😅

I can give you a recommendation, I fond of singer by stage name Луна or Luna. She's from Ukraine and mostly of her songs on russian, but also on ukranian as well, and she release new songs after a full-scale invasion, so try to listen her, maybe do you like it.

Oh, 544 tracks from russian and ukrainian artists, that's a lot. In this particular period in my life don't listen any russian artists at all

OK, I see, I never knew about this before. I was watching some of the performances from VK Fest on YouTube from last summer and a lot of native Ukrainian artist was participating but they acted like they were native Russian. That's why I was asking you about this. As a Swede I probably never can understand the relationship between Ukrainian and Russian people.

Yes, you're absolutely right that you never understand relationship between russian and ukranian people, they wasn't in the best conditions since 2014, annexing Crimea and starting war in Donbass, and now it's much possibly worst

Yes I know because I don't like when music is written in other language or alphabet than it was intended. I listened to a lot of Japanese music back in the days, not so much anymore but I wanted so have everything written in Japanese and not in Latin characters, same goes for Cyrillic languages, it should be written in the correct script. :)

Japanese it's very difficult language I guess, at least for European people

Ok, I see! I remember this because she even closed her IG down.. I was also thinking on the other side, Polina Gagarina and Sergey Lazarev that actively supporting the Russian "special operation" but you know they are probably forced to do so because Russia is a manipulated state and they can make innocent people do whatever it takes to make the state satisfied and artists which has a lot of power in the game of social media, of course they want them to spread their propaganda online for a wide fanbase. One of my favorites are Max Barskih and I almost cried when he made his statement early last spring when telling the Russian music industry to stop playing his songs and that he will never perform again in Russia. For me I think they should be proud of being Ukrainian and not the opposite, why would they want to wash it off? But you know that money rules the world and therefore artists like Ani Lorak, Anna Asti or Anna Sedokova can stay in Russia together with their dirty money.

I surprised and even some stunned that you are know really a lot about this situation, i mean about lazarev, barskih, gagarina. That's really unusual that somebody from not Russia or Ukraine was so informative about this situation. Yes, money for some people plays a decisive role in their choosing sides, I mean Russia or Ukraine, but it's their choice

You know, I watch a lot of reality channels on YouTube and read the news, translated of course but I can't support an artist that support a Russian regime that kills people and especially people in a country like Ukraine. You know, I can't listen to Ukrainian music in happiness while people of Ukraine is suffering and is living in despair right now. For me artists like Polina Gagarina and Sergey Lazarev has sold their soul very cheap to the regime. And Ukrainian artists like Misha Marvin, which still are singing in Russian and don't even want to comment about the situation - while his sister Tatyana are actively taking a stand and singing in Ukrainian and supporting the Ukrainian military. She made the right decision but her brother did not.

Sorry, I can only understand some words and definitely no sentences. But since I listen to the Russian language daily in the music I listen to, and the videos I watch at YouTube, I can feel the Russian language almost the same way I can feel the English one or Swedish. It is hard to explain, maybe you know what I mean. Some day I will learn it so I can speak it, however I can read the cyrillic alphabet and that's a level up! My dream is to visit Kazakhstan so basically I need Russian language for travelling purposes. I try to learn all the songs I listen to so I can sing it completely. But I know Привет, Как дела?, Хорошо, Не понимаю, Я не поняла...

Do you want to visit Kazakhstan, that's so curious why?

I want to visit because it might be very interesting to visit a country you never hear about.. I have seen that it's a beautiful country, so why not. I'm also fascinated about former USSR countries and how each country are developing in different ways after 1991. I basically watched a lot of Bald & bankrupt-videos on YouTube and he is travelling a lot in Russia and USSR-countries.

Yep, I know it, but in real life you don't have a opportunity to open up a google translate and search words that you don't understand, so I strive for much more high level of knowledge in English

Yeah I know what you are meaning, so keep up study English, watch a lot of English speaking series on Netflix or on YouTube, that's the best way to learn it on a daily basis, making it a part of you daily life. I don't know how Ukrainian tv channels are broadcasting English TV programs, but here in Sweden we never have anything dubbed, all shows in English (or other languages) are translated into Swedish subtitles with the original sound.

Yeah, I watch a lot of videos on English on YouTube, I even switch my smartphone settings on English. Btw I am curious what English level do you have? I have an impression that almost everyone Swedish people do know English no a very high level. I remember those when I watch PewDiePie and his level of knowledge English was just brilliant, I mean like a native speaker

Someday it will happen... Usually girls in the band staying for a short time)

Meganskaya was good, but yeah i agree

I agree, the "New VIA Gra" Meladze created through the TV-show was the best, Meganskaya was also good. The new lineup is not good at all together. Clearly all three of them want to be solo artists, especially Sinetskaya.

I think that's why they have not so much harmony because each of them want to be first in the group.

Here's a batch editor: https://old.reddit.com/r/lastfm/comments/b19vs1/batch_edit_scrobbles_in_lastfm_userscript/?st=jta85i3j&sh=5216f488

De har lagt till "edit in bulk" om man går in och ändrar en låt. Superbra!

Ja, jag såg det. Men nu har min prenumeration löpt ut så får väl förnya den snart och rensa lite :)

No, you can edit anything! Yeah it's better than nothing of course!

I think the issue's settled for now, but you might still be interested in it, considering you're somewhat of a "tag purist" yourself, iirc.

Personally I think Last.fm "died" when CBS bought the platform, before the purchase we had everything we wanted (except split profiles for multiple artist names)... I mean, if they could redirect and merge tags in the past, why can't they do it now? It's ridiculous...
