Been listening to a lot of Gogol Bordello lately

[jgthirlwell]

02.12.24 Extatic Spasmatix (Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello, Ashley Tobias of Gogol Bordello, Brian Chase of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kay BonTempo of Puzzled Panther and Alap Momin) made their debut performance at the Abasement night at Artists Space in Tribeca.

[dejablonde]

I'm enlisting Tumblr for help expanding a playlist of mine on Spotify.

It's called "No English, Just Vibes" and the only rule is...right there in the title. But right now it's a little heavy on like, three artists in particular, and on just a couple languages.

Here's where you come in! Tell me your favorite songs that aren't in English. While I prefer rock, I'm polyjamorous and will take anything into consideration.

Playlist below for anyone who wants the existing vibes to see what we're working with.

(When I queued this, I didn't realize it would be Wrapped day, so honestly this is perfect, please tell me your songs)

Singer & frontman, Eugene Hütz, of gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss their latest album, Solidaritine, and it’s support of the Ukrainian people. We also talk about the band’s origins and journey, his father’s influence, his acting career and connection to Madonna.

"The inspirations for this collection were the musicians and artists who emerged in Eastem Europe after the fall of communism, particularly Eugene Hütz of the band Gogol Bordello. Heavy suit styles in velvet and corduroy were matched with shirts and scarves in ethnic-inspired pattems that evoked a sensual atmosphere. These patterns were derived from carpets and tapes tries from the period. The metallic omamentation was also a distinctive feature. With rusted studs and metal parts used here and there. The eveningwear, which featured Brandenburg-style and astrakhan, was highly original." -gap PRESS

Plus some songs that sound Jewish to me… even if they’re not particularly made by jews like Gogol Bordello and Goran Bregović - i also add to it every time I find new yiddishe lieder… 👀

BUT for my love Daniel Kahn ➡️

2. Ekh Lyuli lyuli is the one I can never get sick of

[saphushia]

I see you are asking for some niche stuff, and boy I can provide. My music tastes goes god damn everywhere so I’ve got a bunch of random songs

Whiskey Cola - Picu

Start Wearing Purple - Golog Bordello

God is Calling me Back Home - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

I’m guessing the song limit was put in-place to control how many songs you got at once? Either way I’m happy to share again!

ooo! whiskey cola bops, i love uh.. erm... i wanna say like, the polka? type energy? but i don't know if thats actually the right genre word. sorry if i just called smth entirely unrelated polka sdkfbg. but like the really bouncy rythym! and i'm def gonna have to look at more of gogol bordello's music! it has a similar energy to a lot of things i listen to but it achieves it in a way that i've not really heard before, if that makes sense? AND KING GIZZARD!! i've been meaning to listen to their stuff for a while thank you for getting me started on that lol!! these are all such bops tbh fucking amazing taste

giving you Shame, Shame, Shame -by- Shakin' Stevens F the World -by- The Northern Boys (music vid here [flash warning]) White Death -by- Mayhem (artist website here)

also yeah, song limit is just so i don't get slammed with tons all at once lol. getting 20 asks at times, most with 6+ songs or whole albums was overwhelming and made things less fun for me. but you're welcome to send more asks with more songs! (just not all at the same time lol)

[fvckyouimaprophet]

Music asks! 1, 2, 8, 17, 27, 38, 54, 56, 92, and 106!

Thank you, Ash!! Sorry it’s taken me forever to respond. I’m just very indecisive (despite asking for these questions, ha).

When I’m saying favorite for any of these questions, it can change day to day or even mood to mood, so I’ll just pick two or three that come to mind for most. 😅

1. What is your favorite album?

I will admit that with streaming, I don’t typically listen to most albums in full beyond maybe 3-5 times.

But since I saw them in concert recently, I’ll say, I’ve been listening to The Head on the Door by The Cure.

But the real forever answer is Shrek 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

2. What is your favorite artist?

It may currently be Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten.

8. What is your favorite concept album?

Look, I know it’s a big one, but it’s gotta be Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie. 

17. Favorite song right now?

Favorite might not be right, but ones I’m listening to non-stop lately: Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo, Immigraniada (We Comin' Rougher) by Gogol Bordello, and Mermaids by Florence + The Machine

27. What is your favorite album that is not sung in your mother tongue?

Ooh, while I listen to many songs that aren’t in English (especially French and Croatian), I feel like I can almost count the number of full albums on my fingers (that aren’t associated with movie soundtracks).

Un verano sin ti by Bad Bunny G***y Kings by G***y Kings (given the name, I want to add that their parents mostly are Romani from Spain) Tous les garçons et les filles by Françoise Hardy

It has been years since I’ve listened to it, but I’m also going to put Rebecca: The Musical in German (Vienna production). We were robbed of a Broadway production. Hoping the London version this year leads to that.

38. Good song for writing

I admittedly make a lot of playlists for things that I’m writing but mostly play instrumental music while I write because it can be hard to tune it out, and I don’t want to be distracted.

But also things are so dependent on vibe?

Instrumental: Shape of Water by Alexander Desplat, Comptine d’un autre été by Yann Tiersen, and Drive My Car by Eiko Ishibashi

Non-Instrumental: Hounds of Love by Kate Bush, Shadow by Chromatics, and Sorry Not Sorry by Tyler, The Creator

54. Song you recommend

For you specifically (if you don’t know them already): A Better Son/Daughter by Rilo Kiley, ale Bien Qui Fait Mal by Mozart l’Opera Rock, and Androgynous by The Replacements

For people who may randomly be reading this whose taste I am less familiar with: Easy On Your Own? by Alvvays, Sun Bleached Flies by Ethel Cain (for the uninitiated), and Hot Knife by Fiona Apple

56. Underrated song

I have a bad sense of how popular things actually are, so I’ll just list songs I wish had more recognition that I’ve been listening to this year:

Body by 070 Shake and Christine and the Queens Young Lover by St. Vincent Leather by Tori Amos

92. Which album(s) would you wish to see performed live front to back?

Not possible but:

Blue Weekend by Wolf Alice I Put A Spell On You by Nina Simone Lion and the Cobra by Sinéad O’Connor (😭)

106. Which musicians would you wish to teach you an instrument?

St. Vincent and Mitski can teach me guitar. Kim Deal could teach me bass. They’re all the best at what they do, but also my gay self would thrive.

Send me music asks.

[phoenixyfriend]

8 and 15 for the identity ask, please :)

identity ask

8. what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?

Oh, this is a wild question, huh. I think the artists I've listened to the most would be... Gogol Bordello, Celtic Women, Goran Bregovic's Wedding and Funeral Band, Lindsey Sterling, Fall Out Boy... probably a few more, but I know I've come back with regularity to these ones (or they had a big impact on my childhood, like Bregovic).

15. five most influential books over your lifetime.

aoewuafpisd this feels very funny considering my recent posts on the subject. Probably... (in no particular order)

Uglies - Scott Westerfeld

The series that shan't be named - that one terf (unfortunately it did shape a very large portion of my childhood)

Ranma 1/2 - Rumiko Takahashi

Magyk - Angie Sage

Twelfth Night - William Shakespeare

Bonus: the Serbian children's book "Deda i Repa"

[feeshies]

Ask meme! Music!

5. shuffle your playlist!!! what’s the first song that plays?

6. what bands/artists do you want to see in concert?

11. tell me about your least favorite band or artist. go on scream about why you hate them.

5. Slowly Goes the Night by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

6. (Not including artists I am seeing)

I would love to see clipping.

Also I'd gladly see Gogol Bordello for a third time

11. I hate F/lling in R/verse so much and I hate all music that sounds like them too. Not even for moral reasons or anything. If the lead singer of that band was actually a good person, I'd still hate their sound. I'm too burnt out to go on, so I'm just going to copy and paste parts of a rant I wrote about their cover of Gangsta's Paradise back in 2019.

It’s a bad cover. This is subjective, I know. All of my life experiences, perspectives, and personal philosophies lead me to the point where I think it’s bad. The instrumentation is okay, some of the drumming is actually pretty good. However, the vocals do not match the lyrics. You know when a musician sings the national anthem and it seems like they don’t actually understand what they’re saying, but they’re hitting all the expected beats (i.e. hold this note, raise pitch here, etc.)? Yeah, that’s what it sounds like.

I listened to the cover before revisiting the original and the difference in framing is remarkable.  I’ll talk about the music videos first, since that’s the most obvious.  I think it’s also super important to point out that the music video is gritty.  Not that it’s dark in content, but it’s not glamorous.  This “paradise” they’re talking about is dangerous.

Compare this to the cover.  The music video is sleek, glamorous, and full of hot chicks and badass-looking dudes.  This imagery has a huge disconnect with the content of the song.  And the disconnect isn't like "we're using contrast to heighten the themes and emotion of the song" (like the way the original song sampled Stevie Wonder for the chorus), but rather it seems to say "we have no idea what this song is about". Here are some lyrics:

Look at the situation they got me facin’ I can’t live a normal life, I was raised by the streets

I’m 23 now, but will I live to see 24 The way things are going I don’t know

They say I gotta learn, but nobody’s here to teach me If they can’t understand it, how can they reach me?

My point, is that this band didn’t cover Getting Jiggy With It. This is a political song. I don’t know anything about the backgrounds of the band members, but the attitude in the cover reeks of privilege. For all I know, they could have experienced the exact same things described in the original, but it doesn’t come through in the delivery. The lyrics “if they can’t understand it, how can they reach me?” is supposed to sound pleading, almost defeated. But the frontman belts it out with this cringe-worthy growl that just doesn’t connect. I’m not denying that a band could do a cover where they talked about their struggles growing up surrounded by crime, but instead, we got this tone deaf (and I mean that in more ways than one) cover.

I should clarify that Coolio was apparently okay with this cover. At least, he was okay enough to show up in the music video. It’s strange, since he was so vocal about Weird Al’s parody when it came out (and I love Weird Al, but…yeah, I think Coolio had the right to be upset). I’m in no position to say what Coolio should or shouldn’t do with his own song. But Weird Al made a much more dignified cover with a better vocal performance than the cover.

4, 10, 11 , 12 in concert ask

Thank you dearest Tinnike for always indulging me when I want to talk music 💜💜

4: Best opening band

Man Man opening for Gogol Bordello in London, 2014! That band instantly became my entire existence while I lived there and whenever I want to get back to that headspace I still listen to them. Such an inspiration to just not give a shit and get creative.

10: Song you went the hardest to in concert

I have to candidates, this and this. Mainly because I’ve seen both so many times and they were these anthems of really important years for me that I spend travelling after these bands.

11: Song that made you emotional in concert

I don’t talk about them here alot, but the most importnat band in my life in terms of, them being formative as shit, is CRASHDÏET from sweden. It’s weird I think because this is such a fandom space and they have become my friends over the years so it’s like. Weird, haha. But I think I’ve not cried to any song live as much as I have to this:

12: Song that’s better live

Ooooff. I’m gonna come out with something controversial here and dare I say it … none? I mean, there is usually a reason for bands spending several days in the studio for one song, as ooposed to playing it once, haha. Or you could aslo argue all, because it’s always special observing artists perform. Moodwise —- I’m not actually that crazy about Engel, to be quite honest, but it was of course insane live in the stadium.

:)
