Despite common misconception, I am a boy.
Trying to reconnect with my family's culture through music.
I spend a decent amount of time focused on stuff regarding music preservation. If there's an artist or album you're having trouble finding, Send me a message and I'll see if I can find it. I'll also gladly share information about any of the artists I've found (though be warned, most of them are either Russian or Lithuanian, if that's not your thing!)
I am interested in taking up Lithuanian or Kyrgyz but I'm notoriously terrible with language exchange type stuff.

Я могу говорить по-русски! Но, я намного лучше переводить - я говорю по-английски или по-французски тоже, и я лучше в этом.
(Что это значит - когда вы мне говорите по-русски, я могу бы не понимать.)
