I constantly get the feeling in Slovenia that the collaborationist side in Slovenia is somehow trying to present itself as "the more humane" side, which is a load of bullshit. As for you having a hard time in Dubrovnik... I understand it hurt you, especially since you have sort of a "direct connection" to the beautiful city. But then again it <I>is</I> somewhat understandable. I remember things being so sour that Croatians (the ordinary folk) held it against Slovenians for escaping any serious war in 1991. Even more... There was a license-plate area around Krapina in Slavonija region, which had license plates starting with KN... And the rest of Croatia (especially in Dalmatia) thouhgt it was a license plate for Knin (where the shit started), so people from Krapina were getting a hard time by the rest of Croatia.

I, unfortunately, rather often find myself arguing the side of the Partisans in Serbia during WW2, as people are now trying to rewrite history and present the royalists (Četnici) as some sort of an anti-fascist movement. Those were the years when nobody was left normal, after everything that the occupiers did in Yugoslavia. I don't think anybody could remain sane in that situation, and as much as I don't approve of the killings that communists did after the war, I can still give a human perspective to it. Not something that I can do to what the fascists did. P.S. What really hurt me was when I went to Dubrovnik last summer. Some locals were giving me hard time for having Belgrade license plates on the car... And my grandfather liberated Dubrovnik with other Partisans back in 1944, and lived to tell me that story at least four or five times... I don't think he ever imagined that his grandson would go there as an "enemy"... P.P.S. Boycott Partibrejkers! :) Pengovsky, excellent post.

In my case you'd hear everything from The Rolling Stones to the Doors, from Guns 'n Roses to AC-DC, from The Clash to Partibrekjers and Bijeo Dugme (Serbian and Bosnian respectively). Then again, you can catch me putting on Robbie Williams, Dandy Warhols and any sorts of other pop/rockers, The Village People, or even some more popish "house-mouse" music, like Bob Sinclair, etc... And while there's a lot of American and/or European music available in Slovenia's bar, none will ever provoke a reaction like putting on "Djurdjevdan" by <a HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijelo_dugme" rel="nofollow">Bijelo dugme</A> or "Na Golici" by <a HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avsenik" rel="nofollow">Avsenik Bros.</A> A mix of both, I’d say… In my case you’d hear everything from The Rolling Stones to the Doors, from Guns ‘n Roses to AC-DC, from The Clash to Partibrekjers and Bijeo Dugme (Serbian and Bosnian respectively).

I was just wondering if your music selection leaned more towards european or american music. So do you ever play stuff by Tiesto, armin van buuren, armand van helden, Pulsedriver, ATB, blank & Jones, Paul van dyk?? Most of the clubs I see in europe play this type of music, is the bar/club scene in Slovenia into this type of music or it more into American rock/pop? Oh, I get that.
