Jučerašnja proslava u mjestu Sošice, nedjelja 29. travanj 2018. Žumberak i Bela Krajina - zemlja uskoka Nakon nekoliko mjesečnih članaka u kojima sam pisao o POVIJESTI i FUTURIZMU na Žumberku, ovo je dobra prilika da nešto napišem o SADAŠNJOSTI Žumberka. Jučer je u domu DVD-a u mjestu Sošice u Žumberku održana svečanost otvaranja hrvatske podružnice udruge udruge KRABAT. To mjesto je lokalno okupljalište koje također služi kao tradicionalni dom za društvene i kulturne događaje u žumberačkom kraju. Došli su i gosti iz Njemačke i Slovenije, jer manji dio Žumberačke regije nalazi se na području Slovenije, pod imenom Gorjanci a u široj regiji Bele Krajine. Kao što samo ime sugerira, Bela Krajina u Sloveniji bila je također dio tadašnje vojne graničarske zone uskoka iz Žumberka u obrani Habsburške Monarhije i ovog dijela Hrvatske od turskih napada kroz nekoliko stoljeća (približno od kasnog 16. do ranog 19. stoljeća). Kao što možete vidjeti na ovim slikama, gosti ove ceremonije

Yesterday's Celebration in Sošice, Sunday, April 29, 2018 Žumberak and Bela Krajina - the land of uskoks After several monthly articles in which I wrote about HISTORY and FUTURISM on Žumberak, this is a good opportunity to write something about the PRESENT TIME of Žumberak. Yesterday, the opening ceremony of the Croatian branch of the KRABAT association was held at the home of the DVD (firemen's home) of the place Sošice in Žumberak. The local meeting place which also serves as the traditional home for social and cultural events in Žumberak region. Guests from Germany and Slovenia came here, (the smaller part of the Žumberak region is located in the territory of Slovenia, under the name Gorjanci, in the wider region of Bela Krajina, that could be roughly translated as "White Border Area"). As the name of this region suggests, Bela Krajina in Slovenia was also a part of then military bordering area of ​​uskoks from Žumberak in the defense of Habsburg Monar

Rock intro to the topic THE POLICE -  It is never too late to become punk rebel, neither when you're close to 30es. It is quite natural that after Green Day in my monthly blog I present The Police, another most beloved band of the members of punk rock group from my contemporary comedy novel Euinc. Just to mention for easier understanding, the characters from the book are adult people in their middle 30es, so their music taste got matured with the time too, but they still dream about success in popular music, in this field which changes so quickly, maybe quicker than any other industry in the world. The story of The band Police begins in 1976 with the encounter of two poorly-known bands who have failed to reach this first stage of success, leaving anonymity and becoming "somebody important". Cynics would say probably because of too high quality of the music playing. Then, at one small concert for students in Newcastle, the prog-rock band Curved Air

Rock uvod u temu THE POLICE – Nikad nije kasno postati punk buntovnik pa niti sa skoro 30 godina Sasvim je prirodno da nakon Green Daya u mom blogu ovaj mjesec predstavim The Police, drugi najomiljeniji bend članova punk rock grupe iz mog humorističnog romana EUdd. Da napomenem zbog lakšeg razumijevanja, likovi iz knjige su odrasli ljudi u srednjim 30-ima, pa je tako i njihov glazbeni ukus sazrio s godinama, no oni i dalje sanjaju o uspjehu u poplarnoj glazbi, u tom području koje se mijenja toliko brzo,možda brže od ijedne druge industrije na svijetu. Priča o The policeu započinje 1976. susretom dva slabo poznata benda koji nisu ni uspijevali doći do te prve faze uspjeha, izlaska iz anonimnosti i postanjanja “nekim važnim”. Cinici bi rekli valjda zbog prevelike kvalitete sviranja. Tada je na malom koncertu za studente u Newcastleu prog-rock bend Curved Air susreo jazz-rock bend Last Exit. U prijevodu bubnjar Stewart Copeland upoznao je Gordona Sumnera koji ć
