Totally immersed in addiction science this afternoon, which means we’re giving ourselves permission to half-ass it with a highlight from one of Kazakhstan’s most beloved variety shows. We have no idea what this song is about, but we must admit, that one dude in the shiny shirt absolutely tears it up on the dombra. When the instrument inevitably becomes a part of American rock ‘n roll—perhaps as part of TV on the Radio’s inevitably awesome Beatles-in-India moment?—just remember that Microkhan recognized the genius first.

If this makes me an Ugly American, so be it. But damn if those dudes aren’t dead ringers for Dan Ackroyd and Steve Martin’s Wild and Crazy Guys.
As for the dombra player…not bad. But call me when he gets his own signature humidor:

Then we’ll know he’s really made it.

That is not a flattering photo series for Ringo.

@hubcap: That is one of the greatest finds in the history of Internet.
