As I wrote earlier (e:uncutsaniflush,53202) I am a huge fan of Kazik Staszewski. I mentioned that stylistically he is all over the map.
Today's Polish Song is an example of that. It is a cover of the Dead Kennedys' California Uber Alles by Kazik Na Żywo (Kazik Live). For some reason, Kazik decided to do metal/hardcore covers of his own songs live. He also did some old school covers. This is one of them.

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.

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.
