Lagutenko settled for the money from the sold apartments

"Headliners" - a short history of modern Russian muzindustrii by Ilya Kormiltsev and Boris Grebenshikov to Glyuk'Ozy and Katya Lel, the story of, say, the wrong side of the industry. Today we publish an excerpt from the scandals of Alexander Kushnir, which produces the publishing industry "Amphora". What at first "Mama Troll" ... At nine in the morning Moscow time clock on the doorstep of my apartment was flourishing Boatmen (producer, in particular "The Brothers Grimm." - Ed.) ... Before him, like the Bible, Leon had light blue tape from Sony. Pictured on the cover wearing the animal - probably a troll. Pen was carefully written: "Especially for A. Kushnir" ... On the back of the ribbon to decorate the song title and the words that I remember, "never tell anyone ..." "What is this," Mama Troll, "or what?" - Scanning Hardly the situation, I asked. "Well" - do not try to hide the pride in his voice, said Schiffer. Going to my room, Leon immediately put in the tape deck fragments demos upcoming album "Sea." On the tape, six songs were recorded somewhere in the kitchen: cheeky, lascivious vocals from a children's choir sang keys and primitive rhythm box. Cheaper is only on the Arbat in the rain and guitar ... And since I have expensive equipment - to the sound of my position, as a beautiful girl, with respect - then these "masterpieces" I seriously could not hear. A song was very, very good, compassionate, "I woke up in the morning girl, so unapproachable ..." ... The demos I hooked three songs: ". New Moon of April" "Cat Cat", "Do I Burlakov exactly" as well as written In truth, neither "funnel" or "fun" does not impress me - a sad monologues backyard with a guitar. But mostly I did not like standing on the band's first "Suddenly the train ..." Boatmen offended, but gave no sign. Just asked sharply: "In short, we work group relax?" ... Life experiences indicate that the proposed idea - pure adventure. "Where did you get the money to take in London?" - I went to the bare concrete. Replies Burlakova me, frankly, amazed: "I sold my apartment in Vladivostok and borrowed money from her mother and grandmother.." I was thinking seriously. On the one hand, no one asked me, the apartment in Shabolovka, we had just selling tea. On the other hand, I have the pressure on the back and asked, "May tea." Only here is to brew abruptly. And more responsibility ... But I noticed something else. Not even understand, and felt the skin. What is it - mine. And I said, "Yes." On the whole, how it all began.
