I guess I'm just a bordello kind of guy

For years, I've been hearing about the New York-based Ukrainian Gypsy Folk/Punk band Gogol Bordello. They're regularly mentioned in the Tamizdat newsletter of east European music that occasionally shows up in my e-mail, and Nick Denton has sung their praises loudly on his blog more than once including a link to a nice profile in the Village Voice. But for some reason, it didn't occur to me to look for them on the web (hopefully with MP3s) until this piece in UK paper The Independent. I can't believe it's taken me this long to get with the program. This stuff is right up my alley. Accordions and noise; hard to imagine a better combination. Note to future self: once you start buying CDs again, first stop is Gogol Bordello.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
