Yes, yes, in Poland we have music festivals too

---Togama---


I must admit that talking about festival, where you can’t be, is a little sad – really I don’t understand how Maxfer can do this so easily! But I have to write about one Polish music festival addressed to students, cause maybe it is last occasion – soon I will not be student anymore (I hope soon…) and this kind of events will be not so interesting for me ;) I think you know what is the most important on students parties – good fun and cheap tickets – that’s why Ursynalia Warsaw Student Festival is rich in various artist from all music styles, unknown bands playing rock, reggae etc. Tickets are also in very good price, so if you are able, you can go to Warsaw this weekend and have a good student party.
Below I share with you short selection of bands from the line up, bands which I like and which I want to see on live – but unfortunately not this time…
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite


Pendulum – Witchcraft


Audioshock - Faceless


Gentleman - Superior


HIM – Join Me in Death

The temper trap


---Maxfer---

For today something "old", In Poland I don´t have Spotify so this time when I came back to Spain I´ ve started again to listen my music lists, and..... OMG a lot of very good songs I have discovered again.
I choose this song, but just now I am listening Glasvegas..... why I didn´t choose this? maybe for next posts, and you? also have spotify?,

Babybird



---Togama---

While Maxfer is waiting for something good, I am still in the National heaven and today I have the same problem: How to find good music? I was listening a lot of songs yesterday and nothing is so amazing like the National album, nothing is worth of publishing on the blog, omg how to live now? Only one idea is in my mind -  let's continue animal topic. So after Frightened Rabbit it is time to play Babybird. I choose one song from them for you, hope you will enjoy it :)

Frightened Rabbit - The Woodpile

---Togama---



Boys don’t cry… but girls sometimes do. Especially when they can’t share music because of copyright law. Really, it is so frustrating! I am totally crazy now about new album from The National and I wanted to give you opportunity to listen the best songs from there but nothing on YouTube, no possibility to legal listening (ok, there is one on iTunes, but come on…;) That’s why today I will play for you something completely different.
I heard about this band earlier but never listen. This weekend in world of the National music I was like a frightened rabbit – getting away from new sounds which attacked me from all sides, almost shouting: don’t give me anything new, I want to listen only “Trouble Will Find Me”! But when I read some music recommendation from my beloved Editors I never say no. So I quitted the National heaven for a while and now I don’t regret. I hope you will like it too, enjoy!

Frightened Rabbit – The Woodpile

Exsonvaldes

---Maxfer---
Bonjour, at the end is friday!!
Yes, you have right, I´ve started my post talking in french because is the language of the band for today,
I am talking about Exsonvaldes band from Paris that was born in 2001.
Is my mind or I continue listening some similar sounds with The cure in this songs too? Maybe maybe it´s a signal for the next post because boys don´t cry.
I´ve wanted to put the official video but was impossible so you will have to listen this:

Wanna dance? :)

---Togama---

Today post I want to dedicate to all disco managers... cause maybe some of them need new dj in a discotheque. I am ready for making a good party, really! Ask also Maxfer, I think he has some sets ready for play. That's why today song from me will be not so guitar music like always.  
Waylayers is a British band compounded from Harry Lee (vocals, synths), Dave Norman (bass) and Joe Andrew​ (guitar). They create music described as "atmospheric pop" - this is something like a mix of electronic, disco and indie-rock music. I like this kind of music mixtures :) What about voice of Harry Lee... Don't you think it sounds like Chris Martin from Coldplay? I like it too :) So lets listen to Waylayers - S.O.S and have a good day!



P.S. This is new single from upcoming album "Fault Lines" - should be release in June 2013. More info here: http://www.waylayers.co.uk/

Joy Division or The cure? I invite you to listen today Gypsy & The Cat and try to find some similar things with them.
Quiet music, nice intrumental and voice and funny name, it make me remember my friend that I met in London.

                                                             Gypsy & The Cat - Bloom

Greetings from Gdansk

---Togama---
Do you collect songs from journeys? Me too :) In my opinion, connecting music with visited places is the best way of saving memories. That's why today I want to share with you song from my journey to Gdansk - Polish beautiful Baltic port.  This song, maybe boring and simple but believe me, in train, at night, these guitar and lyrics kick strongly ears and heart...

Big-returns-month part 2 - Travis

---Togama---

Does anyone remember this Scottish band? It is almost 15 years from the time when they was so popular and every radiostation was playing their music. You know for sure such big hits like "Sing" or "Why does it always rain on me". But... did you know that this video was filmed in Warsaw?


New album - 19th May 2013 - and I think it is worth of waiting for cause new single "Where you stand" sounds really great. I'm looking on Fran Healy (singer) grey hair and thinking... good that Travis is so long in my music world!

The National

---Togama---

May 2013 is a "big-returns-month" for me - new albums from my favorite bands and good occasion to remind their older songs.
Few years ago I spent a lot of time with The National in my headphones. Guitar music and deep voice of Matt Berninger - these are the most characteristic attributes of this American indie rock band. One of my favorite songs from their discography is:


Now they're going to release new record titled "Trouble Will Find Me" - check more info here: http://www.americanmary.com/
And here is new song:

 
After first singles I know which trouble will find me - trouble with spending too much money for new albums!

Miike Snow "A Horse Is Not a Home"

---Togama---

Hola a todos, hello everybody! Maxfer mentioned about Polish radio stations, so I want to continue this topic. There is one Polish radio which I listen all the time and for sure it has an influence on my music taste. This  is Eska Rock. I recommend you especially programmes at 9 pm from monday to friday - good radio djs play really good music. My favorite show is programme from monday - "Poduszkowiec" - it always gives me some song, which is on my playlist during whole week. This time I am infected by Miike Snow - Swedish indie pop band and its "A horse is not a home" - song from 2009 but still good :) enjoy!


P.S. If you wanna listen older broadcasts of Poduszkowiec, you can do this here: http://www.mixcloud.com/Bisior/

For some people for sure this song is so comercial, but... what I can say? Only that the name of band I can´t remember!!

"A ton of love" and even more!

---Togama---


Is it midnight? Yes! Is it a new day in a calendar? Yes! Is it my turn to write a post? Yeeeeeeeeees! So I can't wait till morning, I simply can't... Some say:


But how to stay calm, when my beloved Editors turns back after four years? What more, it was really long and hard journey for them, because their guitar player, Chris Urbanowicz, left the band. Now with a new crew, with new ideas, I hope they are stronger and better.
And yes... New song is truly amazing! Maybe my opinion is subjective... but I can bet that you have the same with some music, some bands, some voices, when you hear some sounds and feel so good - so good that you can listen it on and on. Tell me that I am not only one in my music madness ;)
Yeah... My post today is completely unprofessional (some haters would say: like whole blog ;)) But who cares!! Editors are back!! 
Here you will find more info about new album : http://www.editorsofficial.com/
"The Weight Of Your Love" will be released 01.07.2013.  Look at these beautiful record sleeves:





OMG I can't wait!!!

Empire Of The Sun

---Maxfer---

During last weekend with my mind in Sos4.8 I had time also to listen normal radio, and... good choice because i could listen the new track of Empire of the Sun.
I have to admit that from them only I've listened one single "We are the people",  Big hit that for sure everybody remember, in my opinion this new song also will be in the top list in UK for sure, so why not try a little listen them while Togama prepare the post for tomorrow and me about how was the Sos4.8 festival.



Check the news about nex  album 'Ice on the Dune' coming June 2013 in http://empireofthesun.com/

Kakkmaddafakka, yes yes, it is a band name

---Togama---

Hello! Unfortunately I don't have any jokes to share with you, maybe because of yesterday's weather - was raining a lot and I couldn't cut the grass, so inspiration didn't come... Today sun is shining and it starts to be hot outside, so read my post quickly and go somewhere, get more nacked and enjoy the spring :)
But first listen... Maxfer's post inspired me to check one band from SOS4.8 list. Name of this group is so interesting and the same is with their music. Kakkmaddafakka is Norwegian indie rock band, quite new, so not a lot songs they have. Listen this one about Kakkmaddafakka's dream and tell me, what dreams did you have recently? I know somehow that Maxfer had one interesting dream, so maybe in next post... :)

Pa pa power

---Togama---

While Maxfer is writing second part of his story: "why oh why I am not on SOS festival" ;) I want to share with you one little lazy song, good for off days like today. This is "Pa pa power" from Dead Man's Bones - rock band established by Ryan Gosling. Yes yes, this Ryan Gosling who is an actor, library and librarian lover (Hey Girl!). So... Enjoy! :)
