I want to let all of you beginning Russian learners know about a great find I made. I discovered a computer program at a used book store, Learn Russian Now! Version 8. It's a LanguageNow! product. I can't speak into the program because the mic input on my computer is broken somewhere, but all of the other aspects of the program I've tried are all very useful and fun. There are even games like sentence unscrambles. The program is about a decade old, but it seems to hold up well. It's not designed particularly beautifully, but it's definitely functional and informative!

Песни мои

[nominals.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Does anyone happen to know who sings the rather cheesy, but oh so enjoyable Russian pop song called Pesni Moi?

If it helps, here are some of the lyrics. I'm sure that I've misunderstand some of them...

Между земля не землой между солцен не мылой
and later Между нево не землой
and then.. песни мои кто и где ваша мама

Also, if anyone could recommend bands similar to this one and to Мумий Тролль, I'd really appreciate it.

This really, really is relevant to learning Russian as I'd like to look up the lyrics.

Thanks guys!
