Ukrainian Mustache Funk: A Unique Fusion of Music and Fashion
In the Soviet Union, the 1970s were a moment for artistic innovation, and the Ukrainian SSR was no exception. This decade saw the emergence of the Ukrainian Mustache Funk scene, a distinctive blend of music, dress, and politics.

The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle
"You ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" John Lydon (1978) The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle is a rather poor product put together by Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren to cash in on the waning success of his musical enterprise, the rather nauseating and overrated band The Sex Pistols, who left a grim, ugly legacy behind them in the form of musical dissolution, disaster, and even murder. Nothing is inspiring or even funny about the Pistols or their legacy, so it is curious that this movie is a kind of obnoxious, dribbling-in-your-ear uncle telling the same grotesque, dirty joke over and over again at a party. Perhaps drunk with a lampshade or a pair of bondage knickers on his head. Grotesque it is.
