Justice - D.A.N.C.E.

I was certainly behind the 8-ball when it came to Justice or any form of dance music to be honest.

I had never really listened to Justice before, that was until I went to the FIB festival in Spain back in 2008.

A mate of mine would not shut up about Justice for days on end insisting that we needed some fat dirty beats to get things moving along. Well the beats were fat and dirty and things were certainly moving along at a rapid rate.

It may have had something to do with the litre cervezas, free pour spirits and what ever it was crazy eyed gypsy handed my mate through the fence, but I was having the night of my life and dancing my tits off like I actually knew what the hell I was doing... I didn't, but it didn't matter!

And that's how I discovered Justice.

Gogol Bordello - Through The Roof 'N' Underground

Yesterday I hadn't heard of Gogol Bordello, a gypsy punk band from New York.

But that changed when I watched the movie, Wristcutters: A Lovestory. It's a pretty funny black comedy and the band's music features heavily throughout the film.

Then this morning, I flick on the live Cochella channel on Youtube and yep, Gogol Bordello are busting out some sweaty pikey tunes with the crowd going nuts.

I think the universe is trying to tell me something - either I should quit my job, sell my things and start travelling the land like a roaming gypsy, or I should check out more of their tunes and write this blog post about them.

I don't like to rush into things, so lets start off with a blog post, and some of their tunes. The travelling caravan may be a little way off just yet.
