Talk:Splean

as regards the spelling of the band as splean, go to their official site - www.splean.ru—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.151.131.39 (talk • contribs).

Sorry, not convinced. Absolutely nowhere on the website do they use the "splean" spelling. As to the domain name, "splin.ru" seems to be highjacked by some spammers; the band might have used an alternative spelling as the closest match. We need to use something else as a reference. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

1. ...131.39 meant the url itself, as well as the email in the "contacts" section

2. See the cover of "Black eye" album http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Фонарь%20под%20глазом%20(альбом)

3. In the interview with NASHE radio Vasilyev talks about the creation of the design for the album:

Vasilyev: ...And so for the first time the english version of Splean appeared with an "ea." I asked her [the designer] to do it.
Streltzova: The hint was clear... The Beatles were spelled that way 35 years earlier.
Vasilyev: We just needed an english spelling for the band. And with two "i"s it was too boring. (http://www.splean.narod.ru/letopis_fonar.htm) Chukcha 06:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks good enough for me. Thanks for taking time to look this up and to make corrections. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Questions

What does "which the band reformed into song" mean? Did they set the poem to music as it was? In that case it could be "which the band set to music". Or did they change it? In that case it could be "which the band set to music in altered form".

And I guessed that "prowed" was supposed to be "proved" in "Their growing popularity was proved by Boris Grebenshchikov's support." Any chance it should be something like "increased", or did Grebenshchikov support only popular bands? —JerryFriedman (Talk) 22:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
