Short info for non-Poles, or Poles but not in Poland at the moment. Some of the CD's (Baaba, Stwory, Mitch & Mitch, Starzy Singers) are available all around the globe through cdbaby.com. More to say, those albums are now ready to download (for some lousy centavos) at iTunes store. 
The second thing is this: www.djazzpora.art.pl, a webpage which finally came to live! Beautiful and interesting. Don't forget to check it. 

Let us explain. Our friend, Maj Piotr remarked lately: "...about them updates on the webpage, could you...". Rightly put, Peter. Respect. 
And so, Autumn is here to stay, the Lado crew plays here and there (see: Tour section), the records are now in stores (Polpo Motel, Mem & Wolfram, Baaba), and our plans include new ones: Levity, Marcin Masecki solo (yes, we know, promised a long time ago), Cukunft (hehe, yes, we know, promised a long time ago), Starzy Singers "Rock-a-Bubu" (y, w. k.), and it seems that in a little distant future (hehe), there is a chance for a Mitch & Mitch e Seu Combo live DVD! 
And, of course, last but not least (ywk) – our association co-organizes Weź To Wyłącz 2006 (5-6 December in Warsaw). 
Dear friends and your friends and their friends and families, Piotr Maj! – See you in the near future. 

Polpo Motel debut CD is here today for your personal listening pleasure. Sold hand to hand so far but soon at your local music store, also through the serpent.pl online store and wherever you turn your head. Or hand. 
It is however not all. Last Friday the live CD from Baaba ("Baaba w Akwarium") debuted in Wroclaw (sold at concerts exclusively - check out the live dates!). 
Next Tuesday we will have "Koniec" from Mem & Wolfram. 
A year has passed and no CD - and now we have three new ones. 

Everything is going according to plan. 
And so: 
* The „Supported by” series is expanding like mould on a loaf of bread and its third installment is right around the corner – the memorable Baaba gig at Akwarium in December (reportedly broadcast on the radio once). Five hundred hand-stamped copies available only at concerts or through a friend of a friend of a friend. By the way, this coming Friday at 7 pm Polish National Radio 3 will feature Baaba in its Offsesja live presentation. Listen in. 
** The debut album of the Warsaw duo Polpo Motel will see daylight on 19 May, on the day of their concert at TR in Warsaw. The album – recorded by Tomek Duda at his place, mixed by Emade and mastered in Berlin’s ~scape – sounds lo/hi-fi and is really beautiful. For more info on the band go to the ‘Artists’ section of our website or check out their myspace page. 
*** Last but not least, The Kings of Patience – this record has been waiting for about a year, but the material is still fresh, so there’s no need for despair. "Koniec" by the Mem & Wolfram duo also around 19 May. 
**** And now for some non-record-related news: our association has received a grant to organise improvised music evenings. In other words, Djazzpora Strikes Back. This is being taken care of by Paweł Szamburski, so keep your ears, eyes, noses and penises wide open. 
***** All right, one more record-related one. Next in line is the Starzy Singers re-issue – Rock-a-Bubu with a mind-blowing bonus. Maybe we’ll manage before the summer holidays.

There will be a gig this Thursday, and it also looks like on the same day the live concert CD of the Rogiński/Masecki/Moretti trio, entitled “2525252525”, will unofficially premiere. 
We are kind of stunned that it all went so fast. Here is how it all happened: Stwory issued such a neat EP that we instantly envied them and asked if we could turn their idea into a series called “Supported by Lado ABC”. Stwory said yes, so every now and again we will issue hand-numbered rarities, limited to 500 copies. They will all be distributed in stamped eco-packs, just like “Jet EP”. Thanks again, Stwory. 
And the gig is in Łódź (Poland) at the Jazzga club, so come if you can. Germans, too. 
For all the subsequent developments, consult our website at a later date as usual. 

Firstly / The impossible has become possible and we have finally launched the English version of our website (hats off to Belle!!!). There is still some cleaning up to do, but non-Poles or anti-Poles can read a little already. 
Also, there has been slight rearrangement in the Contact section. 
Secondly / The upcoming releases: Polpo Motel’s “Polpo Motel” will be out in April, Mem&Wolfram’s “Koniec” maybe even earlier, then the re-issue of Starzy Singers’ long-time-out-of-print album “Rock-a-Bubu”. Marcin Masecki is coming back from Argentina in February, we’ll see what he brings with him this time. And we are planning to put out a live CD of the memorable Chłodna25 gig of the Rogiński/Masecki/Moretti trio. And apart from that... like... you know... 
Oh, and Cukunft with their “Chinese Democracy”! 
Thirdly / The Weź To Wyłącz 2007 and Weź To Wyłącz 2008 festivals turned out to be a remarkable success. On the one hand, total chaos and destruction, on the other – a whole fucking lot of people partying their brains out, and no New Year’s celebration whatsoever. In other words: mission accomplished. 
So, you know...
