Why the fuck did they discontinue Vanilla Coke?

[entropic]

I have been listening to far, far too much Tatu lately. And because everyone needs a little faux-lesbian Russian pop in their lives:

Ya Tvoy Vrag (I'm Your Enemy)
Nas Ne Dogonyat (They're Not Gonna Get Us)
Ya Soshla s Uma (I've Lost My Mind)
Obez'yanka-Nol' (Monkey Number Zero. srsly.)
Ty Soglasna (You Agree)
Ne Ver', Ne Boisya (Don't Fear, Don't

I do love me some Tatu. I've never heard Ty Soglasna, though, so that was pleasant to hear. Is that from their newest Russian album?

And when did they discontinue Vanilla Coke?

[entropic]

Yup! I've got the whole thing, and can upload it if you want.

And they actually discontinued Vanilla Coke a while ago. I bought a few cases to hoard, but I'm on my last can. Woe.

If you could put up a few songs from the Russian album, that would be great because I cannot find them anywhere and I've heard so few of them!
Gah! Well, now, I tend to live off of Creme Brulee, the most fabulous soda made by Frostop.

Novaya Model' (New Model) - English version is "Perfect Enemy"
Loves Me Not - the music is more "old-school Tatu" than the version on Dangerous and Moving
Kosmos (Cosmos) - English version is "Cosmos (Outer Space)"
Nich'ya (No One's) - English version is "We Shout"
Vsya Moya Lyubov' (All My Love)
Chto Ne Hvataet (What Do You Need)
Lyudi-Invalidy (Disabled People) - English version is "Dangerous and Moving"

I've just been sticking to Diet Coke. I'm so boring. :)

The only thing from Tatu I've ever seen/heard was their first music video. It was slightly entertaining.

And I was wanting to get the first season of the new Doctor Who, but then I saw the price. $100 list price, $70 amazon???? It was only 13 episodes!

That's what happens when you buy British TV shows, alas.

[hok_tar]

Well, all that it means to me is that I'm going to download the shows and then burn em to dvd. I'd pay a decent price ($40 or so) but anything more than that is just stupid.

[entropic]

Really, there is absolutely no artistic merit to Tatu's music or what they do, but it's just so damn catchy. They're like the musical equivalent of cotton candy plus soft-core porn.

Yeah, US releases of UK shows are obscenely expensive. I've started just buying them from Amazon.co.uk and watching on my laptop. It's way cheaper, and there's not that generation of quality loss from the PAL->NTSC conversion. (I still have nightmares about the R1 Jeeves & Wooster DVDs - the conversion was so ugly it'd make the baby Jeebus cry, and despite getting them for half off I would've saved money if I'd thought to check Amazon.co.uk first. *sigh*)

They discontinued it 'cause it didn't sell well enough. They offer Black Cherry and Vanilla Coke--have you given it a try yet?

[entropic]

Artificial cherry flavoring = EW. *pout*

[hok_tar]

Oh and I didn't think much of the bottled vanilla coke, but the vc icees and from dispensers was pretty good. Dunno why they didn't use same formula for both.

*dls*

if they don't a petition will start up and angry people will mob the bbc.

oh yeah. can I put up your upload links onto bitsofhugh?

[entropic]

Oh, please do! I totally didn't think of putting them up myself. ^^;;
