wild development.. your thoughts?

"Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible," Dadayev said, per a translation by The Guardian. "We must bring to the people and to the future of our children the cultural heritage of the Chechen people. This includes the entire spectrum of moral and ethical standards of life for Chechens."

"Musical, vocal and choreographic" works will be limited to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM) to "conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm,"

Here comes the second wave of witch house.

 

"This is some confidential information, strictly to be undisclosed: The Underground seems pretty stable, you can still get pegged at the standard rates with some wild music in the background. No need to worry, Dadayev & Kadyrov are usual clients who loves some frenzy. It's all just show for the outside to cover face." Now...Shhhss! This is some secret stuff.

 

damn they made it so smells like teen spirit is 1 bpm too fast.

also cant believe they're banning such classic songs like i will always love you, or here comes the sun

people will just recur to illegal alternatives

 

86 bpm is the best bpm anyway

 

The "State Anthem of the Russian Federation" is the national anthem of Russia. The anthem is performed in 4/4 time in the key of C major, and has a tempo of 76 beats per minute.

Is this the beginning of the third Chechen war?

 

meanwhile "Let's Get Retarded" by Black Eye Peas is 105 bpm, this probably works better as their anthem

 

I can imagine countries that only allow 140bpm to 200bpm and others only 60 to 80....but seriously, is this even true ? or just politics gone clickbait ? if its true dont be too happy because what can benefit you will harm you eventually. When you start bannin one thing you end up with a thousand...

 

A Russian friend tells me that the Western media has left out one crucial point in reporting this, which is that it refers to national / public theatre, music and dance performances. They aren't going to arrest or fine individuals for listening to the wrong kind of music. At least that's what I'm told.

But it's an ultra-conservative society so maybe they will. As far as I'm concerned, they can enforce their culture however they want, what do I care. I do feel bad for the Chechen gabber scene, though

I would also add that American culture is indeed a bit of a scourge. More power to cultures who look elsewhere or look into themselves (even if it is state enforced). Although I think banning such things outright is always the wrong approach; subtly is always a better peace of mind, such as simply not providing grants or access to facilitate certain works, etc. Otherwise it becomes this horrible & paranoid Stasi like environment. The harder the NO, the fiercer the opposition...

I still have my opportunity..

 

Dadayev is the right dude to talk about mortals and ethics. :-( By all standards he is the dude to be sentenced to the cruelest penalty imaginable. You will not really discuss about what that low life is saying?

 

Yes, anything coming from Meduza or Radio Free Europe should be scrutinized (like any news media) due to their inherent political positions. Radio Free Europe was founded by the CIA and Meduza is a pro-American, anti-regime source founded by Russian emirges.

Well, well done for figuring it out, otherwise you’ll end up reading all sorts of Western rubbish, then you’ll sleep poorly, I’m worried about you, gentlemen)))) "Google translation"

Shrug, this website which claims to be the Chechen Ministry of Culture seems to confirm the ban on music of inappropriate tempos.

https://mk-chr.ru/novosti/soveshcha...nykh-i-munitsipalnykh-kollektivov-chechensko/

Website has been around since at least 2015, seems pretty legit - if archive.org wasn't so slow I could figure out more.

 

What was the topic again? Yawn...

 

Counting will need to become a curriculum imperitive.

 

This is along the lines of where my immediate thoughts went but I was in a mix.. Something about self-preservation versus the current events of the world spinning out; the uncontacted tribes fulfilling lives. Interesting, thanks


edit: I mean, fuck the man and this is BS and all that but its the desperation to even make an attempt at something like this that struck a curious chord in me
