Photo: Madonna’s favorite band Gogol Bordello are offering up a free download of new track “Pala Tute,” a joyous blast that gives the band’s trademark Gypsy-punk sound a Brazilian twist (grab the track through the widget, above). The group recorded their upcoming album Trans-Continental Hustle (due April 27th) with producer Rick Rubin, and frontman Eugene Hutz says the two were “completely on the same page.” “The record process was actually like this: I would go to Brazil, write for two or th

Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz on Soaking Up Culture and Making Crowds Dance

Gogol Bordello have become staples of the summer festival scene, and their sets are typically weekend-stealers. Their Friday afternoon performance at Lollapalooza was no exception, as Eugene Hutz brought his group’s brand of madcap gypsy punk to a rabid crowd at Chicago’s Grant Park. Click above to find out how Hutz manages to whip himself into a frenzy for shows and how the group constructs its multi-cultural pastiche songs. • Complete Lollapalooza Coverage • Gallery: Lollapalooza 2008: Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Kanye West and More • Gallery: Backstage at Lollapalooza With Perry Farrell, Slash, Gnarls Barkley and the Raconteurs • More Lollapalooza Coverage: Rock ‘N’ Roll Diary [Video: Pete Maiden]

Perry Farrell Talks Favorite Lollapalooza Memories, Plus Backstage Photos

With the festival he helped organize now in its 12th year, Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell talked to Rolling Stone about his favorite Lolla moments backstage at the fest. “There’s a zillion of them. Watching Eddie Vedder jump from a stack a story high into the crowd back in 1994,” the onetime Jane’s Addiction leader said, even though he meant 1992. “I’ve seen people having sex backstage. That was pretty exciting. I’ve participated myself.” With this year’s Lollapalooza maybe sporting its most power-packed, headliner-heavy lineup yet, what was Farrell looking forward to the most? “I don’t think there will be anything but mayhem when Rage Against the Machine takes the stage,” Farrell said. Turns out he was right. For more of Farrell from Lollapalooza, plus video interviews with the Black Keys, Gogol Bordello and Mason Jennings, check out our Rock ‘N’ Roll Diary from the Chicago fest.

Pop Life: Special Live Earth Edition

How much of the ozone layer would you give up to never hear Billy Corgan sing again? Wouldn’t you sacrifice a polar icecap or two? It’s a tough question, but these are tough times, and Live Earth proved we need to combat global warming, because Enrique Iglesias would never lie about a thing like that. The whole day was full of TV mindfucks: Pauly Shore going onstage in Johannesberg to introduce Baaba Maal? Kanye West rapping, “Sting, you the only Police good in the hood”? Madonna teaming up with gypsy-punk madmen Gogol Bordello to do “La Isla Bonita”? Madonna’s new theme song “Hey You” was unfortunately not a rewritten Pink Floyd song (“hey you, drivin’ SUVs / Dumping toxins in the breeze, can you hear me?”) But Roger Waters did show up to sing “Another Brick in the Wall,” yet skipped the temptation to have his confused-looking children’s choir chant, “We don’t need no carbon emissions.” In terms of music, Live Earth was short on the two things that usually make superstar benefit concerts fun: strange duets and dead-band reunions. They could have used some more heavy hitters. The best duet, as everybody agreed, was Keith Urban and Alicia Keys doing “Gimme Shelter”; the best reunion was Japanese electro-prog pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra, who inexplicably (yet excellently) got the final ten minutes of NBC’s highlight special to themselves, playing the Kyoto Temple. Some of the music bits were fun (Snoop, Lenny Kravitz, Beastie Boys), others weren’t (Melissa Etheridge). Duran Duran? They were GREAT. So where was Andy Taylor? No matter: I loved it when Simon Le Bon told the crowd, “Just coming here is not enough to get what’s got to be done, done…BUT…If we all sing…We might just make a stand, right here!” And the song he picked to save the planet with? “Girls On Film.” Simon, you have answered the call of awesome. Metallica wheezed amiably through “Enter Sandman,” with James Hetfield’s beard providing much-needed comic relief, as did his huff-and-puff ad libs at the

Jay-Z Gets Dissed, Madonna Finds a New Muse, Foxy Brown Goes Missing

Today in Detroit, rap legends Kurtis Blow and Eric B. will attend the funeral of their former friend, the “N” word. The mock burial is just one of the many hip-hop-centric events taking place at the 98th annual NAACP convention. Yesterday, NAACP chairman Julian Bond took umbrage with Jay-Z, saying, “I heard somebody say that when Jay-Z talks about ho’s, he gets a gold record. When Don Imus talks about ho’s, he gets fired. We believe in equal justice and equal justice for everyone.” Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz will take his collaboration with Madonna from the Live Earth stage to the Sundance Film Festival as he stars in the Material Mom’s directorial debut, Filth & Wisdom. Meanwhile, Madonna’s f-bomb dropping on the Wembley stage pissed off 123 sensitive Brits. Weeks after being assaulted and refusing to testify against her alleged attackers, Foxy Brown is missing. She was last seen boarding a flight from NYC to London. Update! Evidently she was already found. Panic over. Cat Power’s second volume of covers, The Covers Record: Volume Two, is due in January 2008 and will likely feature songs by Hank Williams, Otis Redding and the requisite Bob Dylan cover. Hours after Russian file-sharing site Allofmp3.com was shut down following demands by the U.S. government, Mp3sparks.com, a mirror site, emerged. It’s no coincidence that both sites are run by the same company.

"Super Taranta!" by Gogol Bordello

The latest record from this New York-based but globally-minded gypsy-punk outfit will probably encounter listeners in two categories: those who already stalk the band, rabidly awaiting their next show; and those who are waiting to be converted or are simply on the fence. First, the good news for the uninitiated and the non-believers: Gogol Bordello play a volatile fusion of global sounds and their magpie vision is well-realized here. Eastern European melodies and thrashing punk riffs trade jabs with occasional touches of ska or dub, building into brilliantly crazed jams. For all the high-octane eclecticism, what immediately shines through is singer Eugene Hutz's pipes. He belts 'em out like a Russian Shane McGowan, drunk on vodka, jet lag and righteous indignation. The skinny on Gogol Bordello is that all their sonic madness is all the more, well, mad in concert. Those who've already been won over by their live gigs can take heart, Super Taranta! comes close to matching that
