The Stooges - Fun House

These feral little guys were just not content with how noisy their debut was and had to get noisier. Fun House aims to capture the live energy in the studio and it seems to have worked. Every crunchy nasty sound is perfectly preserved and the songs can get rambly in a way that feels very much like a live performance. There's more psychedelic peeking in during those lengthy jams, but there's also some delightful saxophone there as if imitating old school rock and roll as a joke. I love manic, noisy music so naturally I love Fun House.

Missy Elliott - Supa Dupa Fly

Its true, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott is in fact the bomb diggy. Her style of rapping is super casual and chill and it eases the transition from rapping to singing so well that you won't even notice it happening. Timbaland produces and he makes these groovy, psychedelic beats that match Missy's level of chill. But of course beneath the mellowness is a cool confidence. She isn't just here to be cool, she's also gonna let you know that she is top dog here. Both Missy and Timbaland had been around the music industry quite a bit before putting this record out and it shows. Most hip hop artists do not get this strong of a debut.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love

What am I even supposed to say here? Axis: Bild As Love has some of the best guitarwork ever recorded. Obviously. Of course drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding are no slouches either. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was an incredibly tight trio. Where their debut was very heavy and energetic, this album leans slower and melodic. The most well remembered songs being the flowing delicate Little Wing and the fuzzy spacey If Six Was Nine. Scolars have studied this album up and down to analyze all of Hendrix' technique. These scholars need to spend more time listening to genuine garbage ass music and gain an appreciation for the artists that can't play like Hendrix, but I digress. It's a really beautiful album.

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness On The Edge Of Town

Springsteen's last two albums had been full of epic swells and street opera stories. Darkness On The Edge Of Town humanizes those epics. He leans more towards hard rock and a less theatric sound. The songs feature more mature and more broken protagonists than on Born To Run. It's a reminder that for everyone that escapes there are many more that never get out of their dead end life and those people still are gonna lead fulfilling lives no matter what.

Neil Young - After The Gold Rush

So after the overwhelming success of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere with Crazy Horse and Déjà Vu with Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young naturally Neil Young decided to ditch 90% of his band and literally record an album in his basement. The only member of crazy hotse he brought along was guitarist Nils Lofgren who he had playing piano. This disastrous series of self sabotaging antics naturally led to... uh wait this album is really fucking good? I guess Neil Young can just do whatever the fuck he wants. Actually doing a raw and stripped down album with little of the rock accompaniement of his previous album or the lushness of CSNY was a brilliant move. After The Gold Rush isn't heavy, but it isnt soft either. Its rough and emotional. In the case of Southern Man it is outright bitter and the only rock song pn the album. The rest is very much country folk music.

Erykah Badu - Baduizm

The jazz influence, her voice, the subtle reference to Willow Weep For Me tucked in Appletree. It's clear that Erukah Badu knew she had the energy of a modern Billie Holiday. Despite being a clear exanple of neo soul the amount of jazz on display makes me want to also consider this an example of vocal jazz. As a mix of both styles it is completely beautiful. Badu delicately croaks through each track. The vocals lack of smoothness makes them so incredible against the walking bass and smooth synths. A completely stunning debut for a consistently amazing artist.

David Bowie - Hunky Dory

Bowie is at his highest levels of camp on Hunky Dory. Songs like Oh! You Pretty Things, Andy Warhol, or Kooks are so goofy that the only way they work is when sung completely sincerely. The laid back glam hits a perfect spot alongside mild psychedelia where you have some solid Bowie artistry with fairly accessible songs. Lyrically its all over the place, but Life On Mars is probably one of his most lyrically sound pieces. Hunky Dory kinda sits in this liminal space where it doesn't sound like a lot of things that came before or after it, but you can see echoes in both directions. This is probably as much a symptom of being from 71 as from Bowie's artistic influence but it still stands as a unique piece of art.

I’ve read some parts of Sword of Destiny some time ago and I noticed that some things were lost in translation or translated in a strange way. 

For example, this fragment of Dandelion’s dialogue with Vimme Vivaldi from Eternal Flame. Here Vivaldi takes Dandelion for the author of some vulgar songs, which visibly outrages him. The problem is you don’t really know why, because translation omitted some essential elements. 

Song about Princess Vanda alludes to a Polish legend of Princess Wanda, who jumped into the Vistula river because she “did not want to marry a German”. “Duppie” on the other hand is locativus, not nominativus, which would be Duppa. And Duppa, my dear readers, is nothing else than “dupa” with double p. 

Yes, that’s the joke. A princess Vanda who drowned in a river called ASS or ARSE (So the correct translation could be Aass? Aarse? Arsse?). Well Sapkowski is known both for his refined sense of humour and his penchant for making fun of “national myths”.

Second song is about a Kingfisher that fell into a privy. Well, here the joke is based on the rhyme zimorodek - wychodek and on a grammatical error, more than on the subject itself. Translation gives the literal sense but loses the rhyme.

Second thing is that the correct form should be “wychodka” not “wychodku”, which ofc wouldn’t rhyme, but nobody with education would use the latter. 

So Dandelion is offended by supposition that he is not only writing songs with vulgar humor but also cannot write them correctly.

boy wtf

in the past 2 weeks so much has changed. literally a whole ass rollercoaster.

got in touch with sabina again. finally managed to bond with my class la ziua sandei. made acquaintances with lera. lera m-o trimis la ion. cu ion ieri am iesit dhjsnj. and for fuck sake i cut off contact with oana for good. block si la revedere.

viata mea sociala is taking a new turn. but i cant help feel anxious while i am at it. ieri am iesit cu ion. he invited me to a simulare de sedinta de consiliu municipal. i wasnt planning on participating but i got into a team of 3 girlies. and it went pretty ok. tho my anxiety has risen a lot because everything it was unexpected for me. i mean the topic we disccused on was public transit. wasnt much of a hassle. but i needed my phone to deliver the speech xd. but still iaca am mai iesit din zona mea de comfort.

dupa with that team and ion, mi-o facut turul kurilcilor din aristotel. somehow we got to the idea that a revo would go well si am plekat. and then people would start trauma bonding about their families. and i was there was like yuh fun. but still the girlies were cute and awesome. new people de care as stiu idk.

dupa am mai luat un revo ambii and got to nirvana. it was so windy. we could barely smoke a cig. and then we kinda bonded. talking about diff type of stuff. our exes senat friendships future etc. it was chiut. am ajuns prin centru cuz he forgot a dumbass charger and guess what lulu lera and the gang were there. lulu and ion werent in good terms that day and strated arguing. strasnic cat de tare their whole trio reminds me of me oana and dana.

nu-i roz nicaieri. but yeah i think i was kinda annoyed at the fact that he was around all these places and people si eu eram pe acolo like i expected to spend more time together. parca eram pe alta unda lowk. nu vad red flags. he seems more experienced in life and im just there like a kid. i mean lets not forget the fact that it wasnt the best day for him. i get where his frustration comes from and its valid. but was it too much for me? hmm

nush adic cam tormozesc si eu. im no expert at picking up people and it shows. aa like idk. se simte o tensiune stranie intre noi. its lowk uncomfortable. i mean el ii cineva nou which im considering romantically. and its all very new to me. idk if he would be interested in me. we’re in different levels in life. and my blockage in communication ma ZAIBESTE. i need to be more straightforward and honest with him  about this issue. communication is key. ar fi nice daca am fi impreuna. the hand tocuhes, head pats, resting on eachothers felt so good. i really dont know how to feel about him sau invers.

vedem. i think im gonna invite him to a theathre play and actually have a date nu prin tusovci. dar da offf the anxiety im feeling rn ma roade asa tare

10 & 11

| #just my nation things

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

Oh dear... There’s so many and infamous kurwa (= whore) is just boring. Pierdolę / pierdolony (= [I] fuck it/fucked) and other forms (eg. popierdolony = fucked, but on mind), dupa (= ass), srać / zasrany (= to shit, shitted), gówno (= shit), dziwka (= slut). Guess those are my faves, but look, I’m trying not to swear this much... xD Also jebać / jebany etc. are super popular ones (= fuck, fucked). Poles are very creative with swearing...

11. favourite native writer/poet?

Adam Mickiewicz, but more of his wits than poetry itself. He was popular with with teary poems and he used those to fuck all the ladies around. Now he’s main represantant of Polish romanticism because of his very Polish culture centered works. Sadly most people can’t read it right and focus only on those educational parts while guy described love affairs and many higher class customs in very crooked mirror, making rhymed fun of them. What a legend.

Poetry content-wise I’d pick Julian Tuwim, who is well known for his children story poems. But he wrote deep, terrifying brutal poems for adults that are shockingly accurate for today too, eg. “Do prostego człowieka” (To the simple man) about why you shouldn’t listen to propaganda and shoot the pavement instead, because all the war ideals are lies, and “Wiersz, w którym autor grzecznie, ale stanowczo uprasza liczne zastępy bliźnich, aby go w dupę pocałowali” (A poem in which the author politely but firmly asks numerous hosts(?) of neighbours to kiss his ass)  satire poem are my absolute fav. You can listen to them as songs in the links :D Lots of beautiful, old, eloquent language mixed with occasional juicy insults.
