ProhibitionCategory: polish songs
Kazik Staszewski 
(the English wikipedia page isn't that good since I stopped maintaining it, sorry) is my favorite Polish musical artist and he may be my favorite musical artist period. Stylistically he is all over the map - everything from Polish folk to metal with stops at rap and hip hop and Kurt Weill and Tom Waits. His music is both political and funny.
He is very prolific so it is very hard for me to decide where to start with Kazik. I reckon that an accessible English language song would be a good place to start.
"El Dupa" is a side project that includes members of Kult and other bands that Kazik has recorded with.
The song "Prohibition" was written as a protest against the banning of liquor sales in the towns that the Pope was visiting in Poland in 1999.
Kazik loves John Bonham and John Bonham samples show up in his songs when you least expect them.

F Bomb Grammy NominationCategory: music
This is such a fucking cool song that I've been grooving to for a couple of months. I'm amazed that it is up for two Grammys - Song of the Year and Record of Year Ain't that some shit.
I remember when records were banned because the word "fuck" was included.
To quote the MC5 "Kick out the Jams, Mother Fuckers!!!"
Cee Lo rocks.

Karuzela cz 2Category: polish songs
I really like Karuzela Z Madonnami (Carousel With Madonnas) (e:uncutsaniflush,53190) Over the years, many Polish singers have covered the song.
Today's Polish song is a cover of song by one of my favie Polish new wave bands Maanam .
This version was performed that Opole Festival in 2005. It is ok. All it does is make me want to listen to the original. The sound is not typical of what I think Maanam sounds like.

Karuzela z Madonnami (Carousel With Madonnas)Category: polish songs
Ewa Demarczyk is my favorite female vocalist. She sings poetry. I love her intensity.
I think I first heard this song when I was 10 or 11 and I fell in love with it. The song was first released in 1966. This version is from 1970.
The music is by Zygmunt Konieczny. The lyrics are fragments of a poem by Miron Białoszewski
Wsiadajcie, madonny madonny
Do bryk sześciokonnych ...ściokonnych!
Konie wiszÄ… kopytami nad ziemiÄ….
One w brykach na postoju już drzemią.
Każda bryka malowana w trzy ogniste farbki
I trzy są końskie maści: od sufitu od dębu od marchwi.
Drgnęły madonny
I orszak konny
Ruszył z kopyta.(...)
MigajÄ… w krÄ…g anglezy grzyw
I lambrekiny siodeł,
I gorejÄ…ce wzory bryk
Kwiecisto-laurkowe.
A w każdej bryce vis à vis
Madonna i madonna
W nieodmienionej pozie tkwi
Od dziecka odchylona
— białe konie
— bryka
— czarne konie
— bryka
— rude konie
— bryka
Magnifikat!
A one w Leonardach min,
W obrotach Rafaela,
W okrągłych ogniach, w klatkach z lin,
W przedmieściach i niedzielach.
I w każdej bryce vis à vis
Madonna i madonna.
I nie wiadomo, która śpi,
A która jest natchniona
— szóstka koni
— one
— szóstka koni
— one
— szóstka koni
— one
Zakręcone!

English translation (Faun Fables):
Just step in madonna, madonnas.
And get in madonna, madonnas.
All the patient horses are waiting,
with their hoofs above ground they are hanging.
And the carriages are restless,
everyone is painted matching all the horses,
looking like the colors of the ceiling,
of the oak tree, of a carrot.
A stir from madonnas,
a stampede of hundreds
bolting off their hoofs.
Circling in fire in their roped-in cages,
once they were of games
and throughout every dancehall
with a will of vigor, burning flowers.
And in each carriage arm and arm,
madonna and madonna.
From childhood bent up,
she is stuck inside an unchanging time.
White horses carriage,
black horses carriage,
red horses carriage,
magnificent!
Just as a gift for the
complicated eras that are too sad,
everyday on Sundays
working for the midnight holy masses.
And in each carriage arm and arm,
madonna and madonna.
And no one knows which is asleep
and which one is inspired.

Hope you have a very rewarding year ahead, (e:uncutsaniflush). :-)
Artists are strangely multifaceted most of the time. I doubt if art can be shoehorned into a single channel. It becomes stressful for the artist if there are no estuaries.
This might be my fav of the Polish tunes so far. I'm still creeped out by the one in the mine.
