Gogol Bordello

You know, it seems every day, people come up to me saying, "Bob, why, oh for the love of god why, can't I find a great band to drink to these days? You know, something upbeat, featuring a singer with a funny accent who occasionally mixes up the order of the subject and the verb in his lyrics something sort of polka-ish, but not too polka-ish. Where are these bands, Bob?"

After I implore these people to stop waving around their hand-made cardboard placards, on which are scrawled out their meager terms for employment, and after I assure them that Coke and Pepsi are indeed not the same thing, we get down to talking music. And that's when I tell them to check out Gogol Bordello. I think this is a fun little band...in my opinion, if you like Borat, you'll enjoy these guys. Just try getting drunk and not singing along with their catchy tunes. But this isn't about me or my opinions, or how drunk I am - this is about the music!
