* For the first time in the festival history, tickets for 2011 Pohoda Festival have been sold out. If you got the ticket - good for you, if not - start mourning. So what are my 'must see' for this year?

Portishead, Saturday 23:00-24:00 @ Bazant Stage
* Honestly, if this is the only band appearing on the stage this year I would be okay with that. I am not going to argue with anyone that this is an easy music for listening because it is just not. But get a record from 1997 when the band performed with strings by the New York Philharmonic orchestra at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City and you sure will be amazed

Lamb, Friday 01:00-02:00 @ Runway Stage
* Another tidbit, Lou Rhodes will be visiting Pohoda for the third time but will be Andy Barlow's first time. I am pretty sure their joint performance will be a lot different than Lou playing alone

Pulp, Friday 22:00-23:00 @ Bazant Stage
* A reunion of an old britpop band, they have not played together since 2002. Not exactly sure what to expect but this is a music of my youth so another 'must see'

Public Image Ltd, Saturday 19:00-20:00 @ Bazant Stage
* I personally am not a punk freak but cannot miss an opportunity to see grandfather of punk Johnny Rotten live on stage

Komorný orchester mesta Trenčín a Chorus Alea, Saturday 15:00-16:00 @ Bazant Stage
* It is now a tradition to play classical music on main stage on Saturday noon. Other stages are usually quiet for an hour and 30.000 people enjoy themselves in a sunny afternoon, listening to great masterpieces of classics

The Markovič Orkestar vs. Fanfare Ciocarlia, Thursday 22:25 — 23:55 @ O2 Stage
* Balkan brass battle live on stage = great fun, music & energy

Madness, Friday 00:00-01:00 @ Bazant Stage
* A legendary British 2tone/ska band; although I do not know their albums so well, this is simply kind of a music I like

Beirut, Saturday 22:00-23:00 @ Runaway Stage
* A sew music discovery for me, I have been diligently listening to their alums and am very interested how will it be to see them live on a big stage

Dan Bárta and Illustratosphere, Friday 17:00-18:00 @ Runway Stage
* One could say that Dan Bárta is everywhere, you can expect him to jump out a sardine box one day but I cannot help myself, I really enjoy his music. I'm sorry that Dara Rollins will not be joining him at Pohoda, I saw them on stage together couple of months ago and it was just great

Staff Benda Bilili, Friday 21:00-22:00 @ Runway Stage
* A group of disabled street musicians from Congo-Kinshasa, no need more comments

Junip, Friday 22:00-23:00 @ Slovenska Sporitelna Arena
* A project of Jose Gonzales who is known for his solo appearances with a guitar. I was actually quite disappointed of his last year's appearance at Pohoda but let's give him another change. Junip does not seem to be so sad in comparison to Jose's solo work which might help

Landed at about 6pm after a never-ending flight from London. Arrived to Flagstaff at midnight.

* day 2: Flagstaff - Monument Valley
Flagstaff is a small city stretched along historic Route 66 in the northern Arizona. Downtown is about five blocks square.

Monument Valley is perhaps the most famous example of the classic American West landscape, located within the Navajo Nation on the border of Arizona and Utah.

* day 3: Grand Canyon - Hoover Dam - Las Vegas
Grand Canyon is UNESCO World Heritage Site that is located entirely in northern Arizona and is one of the great tourist attractions in the United States. The massive canyon encompasses several distinct areas, most famous of which is Grand Canyon National Park, a United States National Park. The national park is itself divided into two main areas: the remote North Rim and the more accessible South Rim.

Hoover Dam was the world's largest dam when completed in 1935, and instrumental in generating power and providing irrigation via Lake Mead, which was created behind the dam.

Las Vegas is the largest city in the US state of Nevada. Nicknamed Sin City and the Entertainment Capital of the World, it is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. The city has giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere.

These are only a few of the aspects of the city that make San Francisco one of the most visited cities in the world.

* day 8: Pacific Coast Highway / Big Sur
California Highway 1 (aka Pacific Coast Highway) winds through Big Sur flanked by the steep Santa Lucia Mountains to the east and the rocky Pacific Coast to the west. Big Sur begins just south of Carmel and continues south through the small towns of Big Sur, Lucia, and Gorda. It ends in San Simeon where you can see wild elephant seals on the beaches.

* day 9: Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree National Park located at Mojave and Colorado Deserts is conserving two separate desert ecosystems at different altitudes. The name of the park is derived from the distinctive Joshua Tree, a tall-growing variety of the yucca genus that grows prevalently within its boundaries.

Sedona is known for its beauty and serene setting amidst the beautiful Red Rocks.

* day 11-16: Phoenix

* Portishead confirmed their appearance at Bažant Pohoda festival 2011! I just realized this after a week off-line so it's like the best X-mas gift ever; no matter a bit late. Folks, I would get the tickets if you don't have them already, it feels like that this event might be sold out.
* What: Bažant Pohoda Festival
* When: July 7 - 9, 2010
* Where: Trenčín, Slovakia

2010-12-14T21:34:00.003+01:00

* Today, I saved a bird which bumped against a window on my house. I took the bird inside, waited till it recovers a bit and protected it from being eaten by my dogs. So I found this joke kind of inappropriate on one hand but it's really worth to share. Enjoy!

2010-08-20T09:41:00.004+02:00

* The Big Bang Theory fans, heads up! Yesterday we went to see A Serious Man movie by Coen brothers - pretty cool, I had good laugh several times. However, the most hilarious moment was when Larry Gopnik went to see a junior rabi.. and it was Simon Helberg aka Howard Wolowitz from TBBT! I couldn't stop laughing for minute or two as well as few people around. I believe that non-TBBT fans can't appreciate this but it was awesome. If nothing else, it is worth to see the movie for this moment only.

2010-06-04T14:01:00.003+02:00

* After watching the Sex and the City 2 yesterday, I really pray for that producers will not even start thinking about making the number three. 140 minutes of extremely pathetic spectacle, that was it - nothing more, nothing less. I don't even understand why the movie was called Sex and the CITY as the NY City and its amazing atmosphere was replaced by boring Abu Dabi 20* luxurious hotel and camels in the desert. It was really sad to see how did the great serial ended up. The only moment I enjoyed were the flashbacks at the beginning of the movie when Carrie recalls how she met Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. After that - 2 hours of pain and agony.
