SATURDAY NIGHT MOLCHAT DOMA, BILLY JOEL.

Molchat Doma with Volny (Waves). From their second studio album Etazhi (2018).





Molchat Doma (Russian: Молчат Дома, lit. 'Houses Are Silent'), is a Belarusian post-punk band from Minsk, formed in 2017. Its current lineup is Egor Shkutko (vocals), Roman Komogortsev (guitar, synthesizer, drum machine), and Pavel Kozlov (bass guitar, synthesizer). Hat tip OutlawSon.



Billy Joel with A Room Of Our Own. From the 1982 album The Nylon Curtain.





The album through which I got to know Billy Joels music, and a masterpiece in my opinion. I would say that 6 out of its 9 tracks are hit material, and the other three are decent songs. Produced by Phil Ramone, it is one of the first albums to be digitally recorded, mixed, and mastered.


Goede nacht.
