I was also intrigued by the part where Eugene identified the group of Eastern Europeans in the crowd by the way they were moving to the music ... because that's I was moving to the music. The slavic stuff goes straight to my soul. Even though I've never set foot in Eastern Europe, that's where my grandparents hail from.

It's in my blood. I was not brought up listening to any of that music. My parents were thoroughly Americanized and, by the time I was born in 1960, there were no strains of slavia running through any musical influences in my house. I was brought up on The Beatles and Beethovan.

Yet, I can feel it in my veins when the Romany stuff in Gogol comes to the fore ... every 12 seconds.


Odd. Genetic memory and ancestry and all that. Hmmmmm.

AHAHAHA! There's a new movie out called Wristcutters that posits an afterlife for those who kill themselves which is, alas, just a crappier version of this life ... with lousy jobs, ugly environs, and depresssed people.

One of the main characters is named Eugene, a Russian rocker patterned after Eugene Hutz. His car radio won't play anything but songs by his old band, which are actually songs by Gogol Bordello. Hahahaha!

Must.See.It.Now.

Hehehe, a very sweet movie, for being about the limbo that successful suicidals are doomed to.

It wasn't exactly that the car radio played only Gogol Bordello, but that the movie's Eugene only had tapes of his old band. It was not an element of the doom of the dour afterlife, but just a devise to get some early Gogol Bordello tunes on the soundtrack. They used 3 songs from Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony (2002), which is the only early CD of theirs I have.

Using the early stuff made it believable that this Eugene's band was not a success ... and, for those in the know, made his suicide (on stage, during much heckling, by electrocuting himself with his guitar) all the more bittersweet because the band would have started to record some great stuff in a few years (their seminal work, Gypsy Punks, was released in 2005).


This film was such an odd bookend with the movie Life is Illuminated which hired Eugene Hutz to play a very different character than his usual persona, and the new Wristcutters instead wanted a character like Eugene's persona, and hired a different actor to perform it.


TeeHee.



Hmmm .... Being that a motion picture is released this week featuring those songs from Multi Kontra, I'm surprised Gogol Bordello did not play any of them (or anything from that album) at either of their two recent shows in L.A.

I guess since this is the thread in which the Ghostland Observatory show was last mentioned...

It appears that the Music Box at the Henry Fonda Theater will start selling tickets at its very own box office, starting tomorrow, with no added TicketMaster fees. I'll be stopping by there on the way home (that's Wednesday, Nov 7) and buying a ticket for myself. Anyone else need one?

I've wanted to see this movie since I first heard about it ages ago. I think it had a hard time finding distribution. Now I really must see...
