as regards the spelling of the band as splean, go to their official site - www.splean.ru—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.151.131.39 (talk • contribs).

Sorry, not convinced. Absolutely nowhere on the website do they use the "splean" spelling. As to the domain name, "splin.ru" seems to be highjacked by some spammers; the band might have used an alternative spelling as the closest match. We need to use something else as a reference. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. ...131.39 meant the url itself, as well as the email in the "contacts" section

2. See the cover of "Black eye" album http://ru.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=&lang=&q=Фонарь%20под%20глазом%20(альбом)

3. In the interview with NASHE radio Vasilyev talks about the creation of the design for the album:

Vasilyev: ...And so for the first time the english version of Splean appeared with an "ea." I asked her [the designer] to do it.
Streltzova: The hint was clear... The Beatles were spelled that way 35 years earlier.
Vasilyev: We just needed an english spelling for the band. And with two "i"s it was too boring. (http://www.splean.narod.ru/letopis_fonar.htm) Chukcha 06:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good enough for me. Thanks for taking time to look this up and to make corrections. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
