Watch the documentary "The Pied Piper of Hutzovina".  It may provide some enlightenment.  Love this.

This is hysterical.  Reminds me of the polish dude from "everything is illuminated" with elijah wood.

2 -> 1 because, well, darn it, it just flat-out sucks.  Not that that's a totally bad thing but, well, it's good for eliciting 1s.

Trust me...if you were forced to live through the excruciating wailing of an evening of live Thai/Laos country you would be begging Bill for more Gogol Bordello.  
 
I don't see any particular advantage in developing a taste for the feculent.

I admit this is pretty weird.  But overall I like Gogol Bordello.  They are daring and willing to try something different.  Unfortunately, this is one of those times when it just doesn't work.

I love this guy.  He's like a dad when they've had enough beers that they have to belt out some songs from the Old Country.

I cannot imagine someone would bother to press the "record" button when this was played.

rate it what you will, comment as you like, but you have to admit, GB songs get more comments than most songs on RP, that has to count for something.

This is the first song I ever gave a "1". I would be delighted if I never heard it again in my life. But somehow this is what I love about RP...that I it will take a chance on bizarre things like this.

I'm not sure about this band, but I do enjoy how it makes all of you haters cry.  I'm breaking out the worlds smallest violin just for you.

Watching the documentary "The Pied Piper of Hutzovina" made me understand this band more.  I liked them anyway - it just added depth.

I am usually pretty quick on the Sucko-Barfo trigger, but there's something about this band that I like... maybe it's my eastern European heritage... the vocals are melodramatic to the point of being tongue-in-cheek, but the music is not bad, in a drunken street performer kind of way.  Sort of like Yanni after a year-long acid bender.

Maybe I am a sucker for punk rock (and all that implies) crossed with folk music... Flogging Molly comes to mind.

Starts off badly but is worth sticking with, IMO. Gogol Bordello are a fun band, and very much in the tradition of the 3 Mustaphas 3 and perhaps even Oi Va Voi. All very much tongue-in-cheek. 7 from the patient Nottingham jury.

Funny. I live in a part of the world where people live between bouts of prayer, fearing other cultures and blaming things on them, and worrying about the next outbreak of ethnic cleansing. And yet I don't know anybody really listening to GB. And I am really sick of stereotypes.

Thanks to RP, my teenage boys and I are totally into this band...even rented "Everything is Illuminated" for more of Eugene.Let's hear "Start Wearing Purple" and my kids fave: "Undestructable"!  Maybe that will convert the doubters {#Beat}
