        Folks, check this out. I think it's done with some sort
        of program. Probably the same as was used by Vulis in 
        creation of his NetScum page from the Net Bullies List.
        Like, there are 60 pages for each and every band, most
        of them containing one phrase, rather cryptic. Here are
        entire contents of some of the pages.

Yanka: Yanka is a punk band from Novosibirsk. 

Survival Instructions: A punk band from Tiumen. 
        (this must be IPV -- M. V.)

Urfin Dzhus:
        (gloriously empty page with a logo)

        And this is priceless

Strange Games: The band was formed by Alexander Davidov 
and the Sologub brothers in 1982. It was
one of the first bands to assimilate 
the new wave music. The group broke up in 1985,
splitting in two bands: Games and Aria. 

        I thought it was Master and Aria. 

        There is a page about Aria (no AVIA, though). It contains 
        one sentence
Aria(Russian: KOI8) Discography, album covers. 
        with the link to a Russian page which has discography
        and album covers -- the first bit of useful information
        on the whole 60 pages that I came across. It's useful OK,
        but not _so_ useful as to dedicate an entire page to one 
        link, anyway.

        OK, so, the net is plagued with vacuous or empty pages --
        most searches on anything give a couple of informative
        pages and a twoscore of braindead pages ``my favourite music is Bach,
        Queen, U2 and {Death and June/Yanka/WSBurroughs/GrOb}'' or whatever.
        Except the NetScum page (unfortunately deceased) nobody tried
        to approach this vacuousness conceptually and create something
        so vacuous it denies belief. Untill now, that is. Congratulations.

        Misha.

Nah, it's _better_ than Vulis.

I think the translations are funny but this guy is dead serious!
The only think he is lacking is the juxtaposition of Korroziya and Yanka.
Long time ago I was thinking of putting up something like that
for Western bands, all translated into Russian. E.g., "Kiss" would
become "Potseluj", etc. That would be jolly good fun but no bloody time..

Shura.
