Life Goes On… In a time of war and disheartening news, musical maestro Mutte Fjutt gives us a ray of sunshine, an instrumental with a crowd-pleasing, big band melody and a sweet refrain.

Poetry for grown-ups, “Worry Wart” marries soul music with comic memories, before relentlessly veering into current events.
If you like playlists and similar tunes, Worry Wart’s genres are Philly Soul, Amapiano and Lo-Fi Hip Hop. Finally, some interesting genres!
A reaction to the dramatic female singers currently dominating the charts, at 72 BPM, the track features a calm male vocal and his peppy girlfriend. Who finishes his sentences.
A throwback to Ed Ames’s “Who Will Answer?” and Johnny Sea’s “Day for Decision,” the track fills a void in today’s pop music scene. Or maybe that’s aiming a little high.
The Swedish rap band realPfft recorded Not Nyet under dire circumstances. Fruit loops musical genius Mutte Fjutt in Uppsala, Sweden was in an antibiotic-induced fog. Acting as the band’s manager and music publisher, I was sick here in the States. No one told Kuny, who does the cover art, what we wanted.
When I heard the wav file of Not Nyet, I was deeply troubled. Still, we released it on January 12, 2023, simply to get it out there. The war in Ukraine was raging and I was feeling the pressure. An anti-war protest, the track’s musical genre is Russian hard rock. The problem is that it sounds like an East German mix from the DDR era, the vocal up front and the music way in the background. “Please remix,” I said.
Thus was born Not Nyet (Kevinski Mix), with me being “Kevinski.”
On the cover, it says MiksKevinski in Cyrillic letters. My name “Kevin” is accentuated in blue.
The release date of Not Nyet (Kevinski Mix) is February 20, 2023.
The Lyrics
Here, there, Russian soldier everywhere!
Putin say Ukraina as a country does not exist
Tired of Sochi, Putin chooses beach resort in Odessa
Is no war, is “special military operation”
When Russian troop amass on border with Ukraine, what did western leaders think was gonna happen?
Secretary General of Communist Party Nikita Krushchev, Leonid Brezhnev and Constantin Chernenko all came from Ukraina
40-mile Russian convoy get stuck in Ukrainian mud
War is not rock & roll
Volodymyr Zelensky is first world leader outside Israel who is Jewish
Zelensky become big war hero, fighting both Russians and his own demons
When Russian warship Moskva tell defenders of Snake Island they should surrender, they say “Russian warship, go fock yourself!”
Z for Zero
I hear your balalaikas screaming like Tupolev Badger
Russian soldier commit big massacre in Bucha
Butcher of Bucha is Russian General no one has ever heard of
4,000 Amerikanskii volunteer join International Legion but most don’t speak Ukrainian
This war is very boring!
Russian babes on TikTok call Zelensky a crazy Jewish oligarch
QAnon conspiracy theory say Russia invaded Ukraine to stop top secret bioweapon laboratory set up by Biden medical adviser Anthony Fauci
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson twice visit Kyiv
Russian cosmonauts arrive at International Space Station wearing yellow and blue suits, but they insist they are not supporting Ukraine
Ukrainians use Neptune cruise missile to destroy Russian warship Moskva
Zelensky award Amerikanskii politician Nancy Pelosi with famous Ukrainian Order of Olga
War is not rock & roll
After Ukrainian attack on Crimea airfield, Russian tourists cause big traffic jam fleeing beaches in Crimea
Ukrainians use wooden decoy of HIMARS artillery rocket to panic Russians into firing Kalibr cruise missile
Putin threaten to turn off natural gas pipeline to Western Europe
Kissoffka!
Facing counter-offensive, Russian desert battlefield on Ukrainian bicycle
He is called “the late Vladimir Putin” because he never come to meeting on time
We use Iranian drone Shahed-136 to drop stinky bomb on enemy
realPfft play Russian synthesizer brand Polyvoks
This war is very boring!
Elite unit 200th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade from Murmansk get ass kicked in Kharkov. Many T-80 BVM tanks destroyed or captured. This very bad
Putin mobilizes 300,000 men to go fight in the Ukraine
Ukraine make heartbreaking video for Eurovision Song Contest
Russian officer corps calls this “holy war.” Patriarch Kirill of Russian Orthodox Church describe Ukraine as the Antichrist
Putin calls the people in Kiev Nazis
Eight million Ukrainians seek refuge in the West
Zelensky wear combat boots when he speak to American Congress
This no Nutcracker Suite!
In Moskva, patriotic Russian women sew camouflage net to help in war effort. So-called “knitting battalions” make thick socks to fight winter cold
When ammunition dump explodes, we say this is because someone is smoking cigarette
We fight enemy in Kiev, so we no need to fight them in Moskva
Not all news is bad. We use Sovtek guitar effect box Big Muff
Workers of the world, unite!
Maybe Putin annex Ukraina, but not nyet
Not nyet

Ho ho ho, ‘tis the Season to be Jolly and what could make me Jollier than receiving a gift of hard cash from you, a contributor to our Annual Season Forgiving at the Oxburg Historical Hysterical Commemorative Something or Other Entrepreneurial Foundation Collection Fund Drive?
Nothing.
Nothing could make me happier.
YOUR NAME— that’s right— through the wonders of data science, YOUR NAME will be exhibited in the space below. In caps if you want it. Or bold. Or both, caps and bold text,
holy mackerel you can’t beat that!!! For a measly contribution of $50.
For $100, I personally will get down on my knees and say a prayer or two in your honor.
Oxburg, Beloved Oxburg, named for our Founding Father John Ox, a Calvinist who settled in Catholic Maryland during the Colonial Period.
Your gift will help maintain and preserve the memory of our historical past: Oxburg Courthouse as depicted in memory and photographic image— alas, not audio— torn down in 2006 to build the Royal Guardian Apartments. Or Haley’s Crossroad, scene of the Haley Country Store and Gas Pump, a scene of nostalgic yarn and Oxburgian humor. Where Old Cyrus Haley held the Annual Turkey Shoot in preparation for Thanksgiving in what today is Natalie Woods. Falling down drunk. Demolished in 1964 to build the Annex to the Town Hospital. The store, not Cyrus.
In these difficult times— unrest in the Middle East, war in Ukraine, I stubbed my left big toe— may a blessing be upon you for pulling out that old plastic card and contributing. Contributing ‘till it hurts. Contributing more than ‘till it hurts.
The story of Oxburg is the story of America. Our country wouldn’t be what it is today— MAGA hats and angry mobs, armed militiamen in tactical gear hovering over election day drop boxes, multi-billionaires screwing up on social media, Chinese apps and Italian sausage— if not for the hard sweat and aching backs of our Founding Fathers who tilled the fields and husked the corn and baked the bread that sustained many a pilgrim through a hard, cold winter, snow knee-deep against the walls of rustic cabins, the smell of spruce wafting through the night air from the brick chimneys of our forebears.
Hi! This is a notification that, yes, I am alive and continue to struggle, if not thrive.
As you know, I wallow in political satire. It would be cruel and mucho unfair to make fun of the war in Ukraine while people are dying and the country is being raped. That’s what my long silence and personal depression are about.
I have plenty to say, but I haven’t spoken publicly, since whatever I say will get taken wrong.
On the upside, I can share some gen on our former president.
Donald Trump is definitely running in 2024.
Once he grabs a hold of Twitter by the short hairs, Elon Musk will welcome in Donald J. Trump. We’ll see a repeat of 2016, with Trump scorching his opponents on Twitter day in and day out. It will get ugly.
Donald Trump will never be found criminally liable, which would disqualify him to run for president. Why? His supporters have guns. Everyone in Washington, DC is scared shirtless of them gun-totin’ Trump supporters. With good reason. Finding Trump guilty of a crime would cause a civil war, and no official wants to be responsible for that.
Donald Trump will get the Republican nomination and we’re back in 2016 all over again. He has his pick of running mate among the right-wing firebrands mouthing off and making mischief. You know who you are, dudes and ladies. Enjoy the moment!
A study of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Third Reich will help you see more clearly that, yes, Virginia, history does repeat itself.
Trump’s second four years will not be the bloodbath some liberals envision, but we will see a constant erosion of democratic principles. We can kiss goodbye to the America we currently have.
