Then, to my favourites I can include Amy Winehouse (I hope she will be able to release a new Cd), Adele, Kate Nash, Lilly Allen, Duffy and many many more……

When I am browsing through my Cds I cannot help noticing a huge number of calmer tones;)
Soul, pop and jazz…. Are those that makes me feel relax.

One of my favourite Polish singers is Ania Dąbrowska, who is both singer both and composer.
Her inspiration is often retro music, especially Polish music of the 50's and 60's. I my eyes she is one of the few real artists that can be found in Poland.

Andrzej Smolik is a Polish musician, composer, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He began his career as a keyboard player in the nand Wilki in 1993.In 1996 and 1997 Smolik worked with the group Hey. He also worked with Dj Novica and with the group Myslivitz. Smolik won the national "Fryderyk" award for composers in 2003 and 2004. And in 2004 he won a 'Polityka Passport Award' from the magazine Polityka. His solo albums are Smolik (2001), Smolik 2 (2003) and 3 (2006).

Worth listening to:)

Some more to check out: T.love (as I suppose most of you know), Hey, The Fray, The Killers (unfortunately I am bitterly disappointed with their latest album ), The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, The Cribs, The White Stripes, Incubus, Coldplay. Thanks to my roommate Paulina I had a chance to become familiar with The Smith and Interpol :D sometimes Paulina provides me with an evening entertainment, that is to say, dancing and singing to her favourites:)

With special dedication to You!!!

As far as my favourite kind of music is concerned, it is pretty hard to define a particular one. Obviously what I listen to depends on my mood. So I decided to choose a little bit of everythingJ

To start with, I enormously enjoy listening to rock music, as u may derive pleasure not only from the music itself but also from interpreting lyrics. The list of bands I like it never ending, usually when I discover something new I can listen to one song over and over again, then, I am either fed up with the song or I find out something new. Obviously I have my ‘Top Ten”J those are songs or Cds that I tend to come back from time to time.

Snow Patrol is a Northen Irish and Scottish alternative rock band which was formed in Dundee, Scotland. It was originally formed as an indie rock band, Snow Patrol have sought a more alternative rock and powerpop sound.

Unfortunately, the link is not available , on this account, you are not able to take a look at the video on my blog, but of course you may always type it in the YouTube window:) )

And my holiday’s discovery !

If you like Amy Winehouse, Kate Nash, Duffy or Liny Allen you should know Adele. She has a ridiculously gorgeous voice and I really enjoy listening to her.

The song I want to present you comes from her first album, which is called 19. This is one of my favourite lylics and expresses her feelings and thoughts concerning her HOMETOWN.

Adele Lyrics - Hometown Glory Lyrics

I’ve been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
“Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?”
“No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering”

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain’t gonna take it
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met

Are the wonders of my world

Ok… so now my turn to write a few words about my hometown. Actually, I am not really satisfied to find out how talented my classmates are hehe (especially Kris >you had better take a look at his blog >stunning

As probably many of you know I am living in Śrem. It is a small town situated in the heard of Poland, it is 45 km to the south of Poznań. As a result, there are many companies with private and foreign capital. Nevertheless, I suppose Śrem is too small to make a career in;). Nothing lost! You can take a bus (that runs every 30 min.) or take your own car (if you are lucky enough) and get to Poznań, which is the city of amble opportunities. What I like about Śrem is the fact that it is constantly developing (I have similar impression as Aga has) every time I go back home I am surprised by a new shopping center, restaurant or even sport club. You can easily feel that the city is alive! As far as leisure facilities are concerned, there ia abundance of them, maybe it is not a never ending list but I can mention: a museum, a cinema, clubs, pitches, a stadium, a swimming pool, bowling alleys, gyms, and a yacht club. I belive that everyone can find something nice J What you may find interesting is the fact that there is a branch of Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań. The branch offers Bachelor of Science courses in material chemistry and tourism. I am not going to write anything more as all those information is available on the Internet…

Childhood, happiness, family, friends , memories those good and bad ones….

This come to my mind when I think MY Śrem. I’ ve never thought that I would be so emotional about my hometown. It struck me that I began to personalize Śrem when I started to travel and live in different cities. Now I know we begin to appreciate something when it is out of our reach. Then , we come up with of all advantages it has to offer. Śrem will always be a place when I can find a smiling familiar face and where somebody is waiting for me ,as Kris nicely sad it is like a shelter. If I want to flee from hustle and bustle of Poznań I go to Śrem. It is a small city but you cannot say that it lacks something. It is basically a nice place where I can enjoy myself with my family or friends.

I saw Basia's post & i felt ashamed that i just wanted to write a few words about my 'wonderful' hometown called Śrem ;)... a very nice city,which is where I can think about my life (hehe girls would know what it is all about) so i decited to download a picture as well.

Now is pretty late to write anything... so maybe i will just post a photo:)
enjoy :D
cdn.

What's up? this is my first blog and i am at a loss for ideas about what to type in. I think that posting at home, in solutiude, is a way more effective.
