The Teaches of Peaches
Miss Piggy and "Fuck the Pain Away"!!! The teaches of Peaches, indeed.
Krucha Blondynka (Tender Blonde)
Another one from Czelaw Mozil.
"You and I, we'll be a pair"
"You and I, we'll be a pair"
The Doctor Says No
Aces High
London Calling
I first came across Gaba
(Gabriela) Kulka
because she has performed with Czeslaw Mozil (Czesław Śpiewa). As you might expect of someone who has performed with Czeslaw, this is not a faithful punk rock cover of the Clash song. In fact, I would venture the opinion that her vocal stylings here owe more to Kate Bush than they do to Joe Strummer.

Well, I installed Fedora 14 from the live cd a couple of days ago and real life got in the way. So I didn't really get a chance to play with it until today.
In terms of hardware, everything just works. But I expected that.
The default install creates a persistent home partition in a LVM partition scheme (that includes /boot). The installer did not recognise the Ubuntu partition. I had the option to edit the grub config that anaconda came up with but I decided not to. I reckoned I could always fart around with it later.
Ubuntu uses grub2 and Fedora still uses grub so adding Ubuntu to Fedora's boot menu wasn't as obvious as it could have been. I actually had to read some grub2 documentation. Egads!
The Fedora 14 splash and wallpaper image sucks. I think I vaguely remember @paul complaining about it at some point. It's not a big deal because it is easy to change.
So far, so good. I'm planning installing planet ccrma
which is the Fedora equivalent of Ubuntu Studio when time and tide let me.
I already like it better than Ubuntu 10.10

"Ouaf, Ouaf" ("Woof, Woof")
Poland is a weird place. Artists think that they can sing in French and still be loved in Poland. Even more curiousier Mademoiselle Karen
is actually Danish with a French boyfriend. Her Polish connection is Czeslaw
(The-Right-One).html from Czesław Śpiewa.
I thought about translating this from French but I don't want to piss off the the Quebecois. I know, I'm weird like that. Any old way, I like this song but I suspect that understanding French might be helpful..

W Sam Raz (The Right One)
Czesław Śpiewa (Czesław Sings)
is one of my favie newish Polish artists. Like many Polish artists, his output is not easily defined in Western musical terms - there are elements of Polish folk music, cabaret and modern rock music.
Although he is Polish, he grew up in Denmark.
The song begins: "I dream to myself that we are in Seventh Heaven . . ,"
The chorus is
"They tell me to that your heart just wants to laugh
They tell me that that you want more,
what and why, that's what you get for you is the right one. "

Piwko (A Beer)
It's Friday night and what could be more appropriate than a video celebrating man's eternal search for beer. Although come to think of it, this video is more about the morning after than it is about Friday night.
This one's by Kazik. It's a cover of a fake folk song. I'm feeling lazy. I'll give more details if anyone is interested.
