Chodźcie wszyscy, czas na lekcję polki z Hajda Banda!

Dowiedziałem się o tym zespole dopiero, gdy polecono mi go w mediach społecznościowych. Nie wiem jeszcze o nich zbyt wiele, ale te dwa filmy, które natknąłem się, bardzo mi się podobały. Cieszyć się! Wiem tylko, że ich debiutancka płyta nazywa się Hajda! i są grupą białorusko-polską. Wydaje mi się, że mają siedzibę w Warszawie, ale wciąż szukam informacji. Wygląda na to, że mają w drodze … Continue reading Chodźcie wszyscy, czas na lekcję polki z Hajda Banda!

Kryzys? Jaki Kryzys? Oh! To album polskiego zespołu Disgrace.

Okay, okay, okay everyone settle down and I’ll explain. In an effort to connect further to our Polish crooked forest tree roots, we’ve been working on our Polish and listening to more Polish bands… like this one! We came across Polish folk-punk/folkcore band Hańba! (which translates to Disgrace if we’re to believe Google Translate; We’re all learning something new today and I think that’s nice) … Continue reading Kryzys? Jaki Kryzys? Oh! To album polskiego zespołu Disgrace.

CF Goes To Poland (Part 5: Krakow To Gatwick & The Journey Home)

Picking up from CF Goes To Poland (Part 4: Aushwitz-Berinkau), today I’m finishing this little mini travel blog series with my last couple hours in Krakow, a brief stint in Horley, United Kingdom, and a short reflection on this somewhat impulsive solo-trip. On my last full day in Krakow I was a little torn between wanting to spend a little more time in Old Krakow … Continue reading CF Goes To Poland (Part 5: Krakow To Gatwick & The Journey Home)

CF Goes To Poland (Part 4: Aushwitz-Berkinau)

Please mind any formatting or tying errors as I completed this blog on my phone 🤫 I’ll review it when I’m able to in a couple days to correct anything glaring. On Sunday I had a chance to visit the Aushwitz-Berkinau Concentration Camps which are just about an hour outside of Krakow. Disclaimer: this post may be disturbing to some readers but, as our bus … Continue reading CF Goes To Poland (Part 4: Aushwitz-Berkinau)

CF Goes To Poland (Part 3: From Warsaw to Krakow)

It’s about 9AM here in Krakow and it’s my last full day before I begin the trek home to Canada tomorrow. I was buzzing pretty good after Warsaw, especially after the Jimmy Eat World show. It’s nice that although I’ve come to Poland by myself I was able to treat myself to the comforts of home by catching their show. When they say “You gave … Continue reading CF Goes To Poland (Part 3: From Warsaw to Krakow)

CF Goes To Poland (Part 2: The Jimmy Eat World Exclusive Story)

Picking up from where we left off in CF Goes To Poland (Part 1) today, I’m still in Poland, and I’ve got stories. They might not be interesting, but they are stories. I kept myself pretty busy yesterday for my second day in Warsaw. I was up bright and early (even for me – thanks sun) and didn’t want to waste a second of the … Continue reading CF Goes To Poland (Part 2: The Jimmy Eat World Exclusive Story)
