If you've read this blog at all within the past year, you're undoubtedly familiar with The Missus' and my enthusiasm for a band called Gogol Bordello. The Lemonheads' Evan Dando wrote one of my favorite lines in all of songdom about a girl he fancied : "You're the puzzle piece behind the couch that makes the sky complete." Which is kind of how I feel about Gogol Bordello. There's been so much amazing music released in the past few years, but Gogol tickles a part of me that few bands have tickled since my adolescent skate-punk days.
SO... When I saw that they were playing Terminal 5 on NEW YEAR'S FUCKING EVE, I about shit myself. We've seen them twice in the past six months and they're just astounding. Every show is like a giant party anyway, so I can only imagine what they're New Year's show would be like. I mentioned it to The Missus the night she got home from London and we immediately bought our tix.
Now... What could be better than Gogol Bordello on New Year's Eve, you ask? Well... Let's see... Maybe VIP passes? Why, YES SIR. Molto grazie to Krish and his swanky music industry contacts for swinging that one. I hereby retract every smug or snarky remark I've ever made about Canadians. GO LEAFS!
So, yeah.
Me, The Missus, a bottle of champagne and the best seats in the house for one of the best live bands on the planet for New Year's Eve.
I'm even jealous of me.
