Do you know at least one Ukrainian punk rock band? Of course, no one asked me such a question, but I sometimes ask it to my friends. Talking about the glorious traditions of Ukrainian rock n roll, I don't want to miss punk itself. The first thing that comes to my mind is the band Borshch. Some people will say it's not punk rock, and maybe they're right. But musically and lyrically, Borshch has a spark that only lives in this style.

It remains interesting that even such alien rock stars as David Bowie had his parental home on our unfortunate planet. The future star lived the first 6 years of his life in 40 Stansfield Road, Brixton, London.

2022 has become too difficult for one of the largest countries in Europe. It is about Ukraine and its heroic people. The passing year has brought devastation and tears, pain and suffering to the country. In its fight against the invaders, Ukraine is choosing its freedom and the right to a democratic future. Today we wanted to remember the glorious past of this musical nation and especially, we are interested in the development of the rock scene in Ukraine, in a country with its ancient roots and culture. How it was and how it was born.

One November morning, I went to the antique shop 'LOT ONE TEN'. I loved taking a walk in autumn London after a snack at McDonald's and a large serving of black coffee. I felt in good spirits and even the gray rain could not interfere with my daily ritual, so Walthamstow greeted me with genuine indifference, as if inviting me to take a walk on the favorite street of the designer William Morris, whose mansion-museum was around the corner.

Food and music, music and food. Hannah always loved listening to music while eating and cooking. And what about without music? Her favorite music is rnb, soul, indie and electronics. Her favorite ingredients in the kitchen are vegetable plants grown in the garden and mixed with a love of cooking.

You know, when I invited my friends to visit a jazz club they refused! And probably, it would be all right if I decided to go there myself. It would be all right somewhere in the West but not here, not in Shanghai.

Igor Stravinsky, a great composer of the 20th century, once lived. He once lived in Eastern Europe in western Ukraine - in the town of Ustyluh. Once when I was in Volyn, I managed to persuade my friend Serhiy to take me to a "paradise corner for creativity."

When I arrived in Rio de Janeiro at the Antonio Carlos Jobim Airport, I thought it would be good to visit a bar where almost 60 years ago the most famous bossa nova style song was written. And so it happened.

For many people living in East London, the paths intersect with a strange round house of yellowish-pale color with a square tower on the roof. We are in Degenham. Once, it happened with me when I drove from Barking to Romford that I had to take bus route number 368 and see this Art Nouveau architectural marvel. Later, a friend of mine who lives in Degenham told me about this legendary place for all fans of good old English rock and roll.

Alaska Studio was founded by Pat Collier of The Vibrators in 1977 (the band continues to impress with its vitality and creativity as releases of new punk albums and rolling around Europe confirming the slogan: Punk Not Dead).
