I know all you kiddies want me to get to the goods - but as many of you know… I like to build to the climax, so I will start with my trip down & the girls' first night out ;) The plan was to arrive in Baltimore by 8ish & we all pulled that off without a hitch… the "WE" is Katrina , her friend Amanda & yours truly. I had great directions from my regular DC traveler Debbie (Chase's mom) & too

Great show. Great gypsy. Great klezmer. Great jigs. Who knew "world beat" didn't have to suck? (This vid is not from Vegas but catches the general vibe.)Song lyrics | Alcohol lyrics
I've got a 1967 Random Ten ready to post, but I just got back from seeing Gogol Bordello live, and wanted to post my thoughts on that now.Holy shit.That's the quick review. I suppose I could say a few more things. There's the music itself, which you can appreciate via their records, what they call Gypsy Punk. Then there's the stage performance, and that's where the holy shit comes in.There are ...
The right half of my face is covered in sweat...someone else's sweat. I can barely move, bruises are already starting to form all over my body and I doubt that I'll ever be able to hear anything again. But I don't care.You see, I've just spent the past three hours in the front row of a Gogol Bordello gig and no amount of pain can detract from the sheer euphoria that such an energetic performanc...
Not too many swell shows around town but there is the Datafrogs CD release show at Fletcher's. Other than that DC seems to be where it's at for a few events. The first is another night of craziness with Gogol Bordello at the 9:30 Club . Other than that it seems like a good night to check out AutoRock's DJ set over at the Rock and Roll Hotel . Enjoy!mp3: Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple
Sometimes singers stumble into notes instead of singing on them.Turn their back on enunciation.Treat melody harshly.Or laugh at harmony's face.And it can work. Wrong can become right. And it's that very wrongness that enchants us.So, who's your favourite 'bad' singer?If I may present mine, Gogol Bordello's Mr. Eugene Hütz : Honourable mention , Cacofonix, the bard, from Asterix comics ;)
