ćwierćnuta, ósemka, pauza

Nov 9, 2011, 10:24am louder than bombs

Tak, to prawda - w związku z dużą ilością pracy pauzujemy. Nie ma jednak co drzeć drogich hipsterskich szat, albowiem powrócimy mocniejsi. W pośpiechu: Polecamy Wam iść na koncert Nosowskiej , bo mimo tego, że grany w całości i naraz materiał z "8" (myk znany z koncertów Hey, podobnie jak playbackowe intro) nie zawsze *nadanża*, to Katarzyna udowadnia, że "nie ma tu z kim przegrać". Nowe aranże starych numerów piją do (a może pod) surowości (-ć) (no-ment o-ment) "Sushi", która to (surowość) bardzo współgra z "ósemką" (dobrą, lecz chyba gorszą od "Uniseksu"). Fani nadal [...]

Hansard and Irglova were then thrust into the public spotlight - maybe not as much as Hollywood couples - but even my mom knew who the couple was and followed their fairytale story. Apparently a documentary was filmed as the two - calling themselves [...]
