MiamiNights - Miami Night Clubs, Nightlife

Critics consider it "gypsy-punk", they call it "death metal/melodramatic popular song/Japanese classic music." Say whaaaa?! I call it  crazy-dance-when-drunk-till-you're-pants-fall-off music.

So now you think, "Wadafunkk?" But I say "Gogol Bordello!" And if you're still bamboozled by all the genres listed above, then allow me to introduce them to you. Gogol Bordello has actually been around for quite some time now, 10 years almost, and even though they've always provoked a raucous party where ever they go, it's their latest and fourth album Super Taranta! thats made them gain popularity. These eight blokes are based out of New York, but they come from all over. With this in mind, their sound comes from a melting pot of instruments, but they deliver this dirty-clothed vodka-drenched and fist-clenched gypsy music that makes you feel like you're in freaking Bulgaria or something. Actually, the lead singer is from the Ukraine and he's got a mustache to prove it. To make the description simpler, Gogol Bordello makes folkloric punk music that can be considered the Eastern European version of Manu Chau.

Their shows combine burlesque with a euphoric atmosphere, and now South Florida gets to experience it because their coming to the Culture Room, in Ft. Lauderdale, on June 17. Tickets are $20. So get drunk. Get sweaty. Get gypsy.

Hahaha! I can't fucking stop laughing! DListed.com put this video of a 7-year-old Palm Beach Gardens boy who took his grandmother's SUV for a joyride. This kid has probably given some of the best quotes of 2008. Choice quotes include:

"I wanted to do it, because it's fun. It's fun to do bad things like drive into a car."

When told if he realized if could of killed somebody, he said:

"Yes, but I wanted to do hood rat stuff with my friends."

And when asked if he should get punished, his response was:

"No video games for the whole weekend."

Oh lordy! In the video the grandmother says she would beat his ass if she wasn't afraid of getting arrested. As to why this boy rode off in his grandmother's SUV, "'cause he was mad at [his] mom," naturally.
