Poodle Play Kremlin Style
It appears that supression is alive and well in the former Soviet Union. Music critic, Artemy Troitsky, is facing a possible two-year jail sentence for calling a guy a poodle. From the NZ Herald...
Troitsky, who was lauded in the West and at home for his gritty insights into Soviet music, has become increasingly vocal on the environmental and political transgressions of politicians and oligarchs.
But his latest court room adversary comes in the form of a mop-haired former member of Agata Kristi, a gothic rock band, named after Agatha Christie.
Vadim Samoylov, the group’s singer and guitarist until it disbanded last year, says he was slandered when Troitsky referred to him in a television documentary as a “trained poodle for Surkov” – a reference to Vladislav Surkov, the influential deputy chief of staff to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and a rock music fan who had previously worked with Samoylov on an album.
I’ll let you form your own opinion of the mop-haired former member of Agata Kristi’s musical prowess…
…and of course, we’ll rely on FZ for conceptual continuity…
Not a speck of cereal...

The post to blame: Most Peculiar Mama (Don't Eat Your Cat)
Synchronous swimming, dolphins with missile backpacks, and Poodle-head dogma … lots to work with here. Russia still remains that “juan beeg enigma” of the east … established during the Cold War. [Side note: Have you seen Cold War veterans at or around the VFW's?]
Since the adult salesmen gathered around the land sales desks at my Dad’s land developments offices used to tell me that “I had better learn Russian for my future…” I could not understand one word of this song. And now I tell youngsters they better learn Chinese.
All praise be to FZ — open thou our lips — so they may show forth Thy praise — in the great under-voice of sanity.
All other poodle-heads are impersonators. Where’s my slippers? All those who do not comply will be punished.
