Earlier quoted context omitted.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Horse Outside is great craic! (between the Rubberbandits and Kneecap, it seems like fashionable irish lads are already prepared to live in a camera-full* surveillance society? After all, when you're riding a pony you can give the gait analyst one of these \/m.) On the other hoof, the shout outs: Tir Na Og - https://www.skysports.com/racing/form-profiles/horse/138973/... are kind of depressing…
Does it get more rural than the Republic of Sakha, where cow shed ownership(a) is enough for cover of local edition GQ magazine(b) (no Subaru required!) a) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95zh-Cgoutg b) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ax0hL4WIAs
I love how russian artists support their local scene, eg Emin on the piano and Pirozhkov on a pony. (looks like the ones I don't recognise were KVN players?)
Timati's got some good lines, eg:
Ya vsegda ekstrafresh kak vladelets khimchistki
Moy otbelennyy kesh ne popadayet pod riski
Odna strochka po TsB ravna barrelyu nefti
Zaklyuchayu kontrakty s Gazpromom v kazhdom kuplete
Я нашёл себя и меня нашли
إن شاء الله или c'est la vie
Looks like tourism[0] may be a better bet[1] than mucking out cowsheds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ob5B3Tqm7A&t=103s
That's especially true because land tenure in the RF doesn't include subsoil (and therefore mineral) rights.
0:29 after hearing so much about metaphorical vatniks, here's a literal quilted jacket?
(Timati's line is that cash sticks to intellectuals; here it's to the cow shed)
1:17 the cow shed is fresh because even european cows are comfortable at a lower temperature range than humans, and the Yakut cow is especially cold-adapted[2]
1:20 pretty sure the steaming has been exaggerated for comic effect — no, wait, that's not steaming, that's probably smudging against the insects. I once asked a colleague who was telling Siberia stories why they didn't do their fieldwork in summer, and they quickly answered: "mud and mosquitos"
1:22 didn't HN discuss blackhouses?[3] this line provides a reason they may have been more popular than "white houses" before screens, or at least glass windows, were cheap and widespread.
1:51 tripod goblets make sense for steppe nomads — circular feet on stemware are pretty unstable until one has cheap and widespread flat tabletops?
how early is attestation for this style of jacket? put a bolo tie on and you could almost go line dancing in that (although the sleeves are more reminiscent of a "Mutz")...
1:54 this seems like a decent design for a cow shed — the slop should wind up in the grabens allowing the cows to stand with relatively dry hooves on the horsts?
2:36 sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakha_cuisine#/media/File:Kier... (cream, berries, and sugar)
2:55 sweet ride; I wonder if they have any double-height tallboy[4] customs there?
3:16 haystacks used to be built in rain-shedding shapes; plastic tarps have been a super useful invention here

it's 3/4 of an hour, so it'll be some time before I get around to it, but I am curious if they go into any more detail than a Michael Collins biography I'd read about how the Republicans had not only had access to, but even been altering the paper files in, the Black & Tans' archives.
