Song of the Week- 3/1/08

This week I give you "Wonderlust King" by Gogol Bordello.

I figured we all needed a little infusion of Gypsy Punk. Now, I'm not quite sure if Gogol Bordello is an individual or the name of this band. Whatever it is, it's freaking awesome isn't it? Gogol Bordello is fun [period]. Listen to the song carefully and listen to the weird instruments. We have fiddles, an accordion, acoustic nylon-stringed guitars, drums played with brushes- it's an unfamiliar sound to most listeners isn't it? The best is the lead singer's- umm- "singing." That accent is hilarious as well as gloriously epic. Would it surprise you if I also told you that Gogol Bordello's live show is amazing and full of energy? I've never had the glory to see these guys live but I hope I can one day. Until next week, enjoy!
