Music of Poland - While folk music has largely died out in Poland, especially in urban areas, the tourist destination of Podhale has retained its traditions. The regional capital, Zakopane, has been a center for art since the late 19th century, when people like composer Karol Szymanowski made the area chic among Europe's intellectuals. Local ensembles use string instruments like violins and a cello to play a distinctive scale called the Lydian mode. Duple-time dances like the krzesany, zbójnicki and ozwodna are popular. Folk songs typically focus on heroes like Janosik.

Joy Division (band) - flat tire while on the motorway and then driving away, they got a new drummer called Stephen Morris and renamed the band Joy Division to avoid confusion with London punk band Warsaw Pakt. The name Joy Division is a reference to groups of Jewish women in the concentration camps during WWII who were used as prostitutes by the Nazis, as described in Karol Cetinsky's 1955 book, The House of Dolls. They played constantly in the north of England throughout early 1978, and recorded enough material for a debut album. However, after the studio engineer added synthesizers to several tracks, the band scrapped the album. It would be released as a bootleg in 1982 and then officially 10 years later. In June 1978 their original Warsaw demos would be released by Factory.
