Bubbles Above the Metro

 

Coming back from Alanis Morisette at the Torwar in Warsaw last week, bubbles above the Politechnika Metro station.


 Not often I say it, but I loved the advertisement, it just lit up an ordinary scene.

Small Birds Helping Me Eat My Rice

 

Had the pleasant experience of some small birds helping me to eat my rice at a Vietnamese place in Warsaw.


 Both small birds enjoyed rice like they would bread and kept coming back for more.


 I like the Vietnamese places for the green tea as well as the food, and now the great company.

Alanis Morissette - Warsaw Torwar (19th June 2025)


 So glad I finally got round to seeing Alanis Morissette.


 Loved the gig from start to finish, it went by in a flash.

 

The running of a short version of a song into another tune worked a treat (e.g. Sorry 2 Myself into Head Over Feet).

 

And three acoustic tunes (Rest; Mary Jane; Perfect) being done at the mixing desk was a really nice touch.

Favourite tune of the night, that would have to be You Oughta Know (this tune marks the mid-90s for me, living in an attic bedsit in my hometown, Bury, Lancashire, all another lifetime away now).

 

Finally, things being rounded off perfectly with Thank You, hearing this song live had always been on my bucket list (last year, I got to see Chris Isaak do Wicked Game live, certain songs are just on my bucket list)


 Yeah, a truly wonderful evening, overall.

Mint Cider in Warsaw


 Somehow ended up drinking mint cider in Warsaw. 

As expected, it was very fresh tasting, not bad at all.

My One Concert from May


 Only went to one concert in (late) May but it was a cracker:

 

Cool Cool Cool (with Julie Slick) opening with a five-song set (would've liked to have heard much more, as the band was fantastic.

Then after the opening set, Cool Cool Cool (and Julie Slick) joined Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew on stage for a nice evening of Talking Heads classics (Psycho Killer; Take Me To The River; Life During Wartime etc.)

Plus the King Crimson (Mark II) classic, Thela Hun Ginjeet, an incredible song.

Yeah, this was a nice Sunday evening out at the Progresja in Warsaw on 25th May.
