.first of all only one more person (as far as i can remember a girl, probably from UK) asked me about this matter and so far i have - 7,063 unique visitors, so as you can see it is not all that bad.) ..Which brings me close to a conclusion that this word has its abusive meaning mainly in your country and as you said 99% of people in UK would read this as a homophobic comment (certainly an exageration, only 2 out of 428 were concerned), which brings me yet to another conclusion that probably you have some issues with gay people yourself..hopefully i am wrong..and finally let's face it, you probably have no knowledge about "Ukraine and its neighbours"..

you are not the first to ask this.. and of course you know the answer, which would be - odd; unusually different.. when to think of it, it prorably would be odd to call everybody a fag just because they don't listen to the kind of music i prefer.

If Bill Laswell's Imaginary Cuba was something you enjoyed you might also like to check out BudNubac, http://blancomusic.com/que-se-yo I'm not going to lie and say it's just like Laswell. Laswell's album is much more percussion-oriented and traditionally Cuban. However, as another example of Cuban/Dub juxtaposition, BudNubac are really worth a listen. Click the link, we'd appreciate it. There's also a myspace if you want to comment.

I'm learning Spanish as next year i'm off to south America for 6 months or so on my on and the idea of not being able to talk the lingo scares the shit out of me. Yeah he's a funny guy i think might be a wearer of dentures as well as a rug. My musical taste is all over the place, i basically like everything but can't listen to the same type of music all the time, i get bored and have to explore the musical universe.

Buenos dias! just looking at my neighbours and i notice your learning Spanish to and using the same Cd's.

Viva la Scrobbler!

Hallo! Just finding my way around a bit. Looks like I can link this with iTunes so that's promising. Will have to listen to some of your library! D
