Songs About People # 144 Vladimir Mayakovsky



Here's a photo that looks good on any blog. Russian poet, artist, stage and film star. The ultimate artist's artist, romantic hero and name to drop. Here, typically it's dropped by The Manic Street Preachers who like to do this kind of thing more possibly than any band there's ever been. This comes from their excellent album from last year Futurology. A European inspired project. Mayakovsky closes it. It's an instrumental largely, prefaced by a sample from Ringo shouting at the end of Helter Skelter. There are also some spoken and very European spoken moments, but why it's called Mayakovsky I couldn't tell you. It just is. Link to song here.
