Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!

Proza życia codziennego jednak potrafi zabić w człowieku jakikolwiek nastrój. Plan był nieco inny, wyszło jak wyszło. Mimo wszystko jednak udało się i dziś słuchać tego co spokojne.

Mógłbym tu teraz sobie pisać czego mi zabrakło w ostatnim CSM, ale nie o to chodzi. Wydaje mi się że każdy jakoś inaczej by podszedł do tematu. Muszę też przyznać, że Ola miała niewiarygodnie trudne zadanie dobrać to wszystko tak żeby pięknie pasowało do siebie. Układając sobie listy przez dwa dni tyle razy trafiałem na zgrzyty, gdzie choć muzyka spokojną była to jakoś kompletnie nie wplatała się w ton ustanowiony przez resztę. Ola dodatkowo musiała brać pod uwagę, że całość ma się mieścić w niecałych dwóch godzinach, że tak naprawdę wybiera utwory nie bezpośrednio dla siebie. Wymiękłbym. Teraz widzę ile w to pracy zostało włożonej. Stąd też mój wielki respekt, do tego co się udało stworzyć prawie dwie doby temu (bezpośrednio po audycji nie byłem pod takim wrażeniem ;).

Ale żeby nie było, swoje trzy grosze wrzucę. Moby jednak się nadawał. Chociażby, dla przykładu The Sky Is Broken. Hmmm.... Moby miał mnóstwo innych spokojnych kawałków, które się by nadawały. Może nawet bardziej niż The Sky Is Broken. Tylko że to taki mój faworyt jeżeli chodzi o utwory do oddalania się myślami od ziemi.

New client added to the mix: Songr. There's already a pretty good writeup of it here.
