Did somebody ask where is Yuri? He is drinking with Pasha! | Gogol Bordello

Ladies and Gentlemen, this news edition will be educational for all u long standing fans of GB.

Our beloved and heroic accordionist Yuri Lemeshev, whose unique and incredibly surrealistic way of playing had brought so much to the evolution of GB, for many years has been planning a tribute album for his favourite composer, Alfred Schnittke. Yuri is planning to work on it with one of GB’s favourite producers, and perhaps welcome some guest spots by GB members and many more.

This is going to be a massive project for him and require some time off the road. That is why for the time being he will be replaced by a hand-picked Belorussian accordionist named Pasha Newmerzginsky, who also currently moved to New York city.

Even though there are number of accordionists ready to rock in GB, Yuri and GB were only satisfied with Pasha taking his place. After spending several months playing with Pasha and watching him rehearse with the band, and yes, drinking too… Yuri gave his confirmation: “This motherfucka is worthy, all right.”

Pasha had a tough cross-examination, but his impeccable virtuosity in combination with “total freeroaming raspizdjaiski” spirit according to Hutz, won him both the band’s and Yuri’s recognition.

It is undecided when Yuri’s solo album production will start. But one thing’s for sure: on stage, Gogol Bordello every time will have at least one badass accordion player since, as Hutz reports, “accordion remains, and forever will be, my favourite melodic instrument.

  • men get into something not aimed at their gender: get special titles like "brony." recognition by creators. heralded for defying gender appeal. get documentary.
  • women get into something not aimed at their gender: not real fans. probably secret friend zone warriors deadset on erasing men from the human race. get insulting demeaning memes and sexual harassment.

Superman was created by two Jewish kids of Eastern European descent in the ’30s. Do you understand why Krypton had to be destroyed, do you understand what an illegal immigrant God-man who turns into the ultimate American and whose mortal enemy is a nativist industrialist and who protects and (arguably) betters his adopted home would have meant to two Jewish kids of Eastern European descent?

people totally lose sight of the fact that superman was written at a time when european-american immigrants were not part of the white hegemony. the superman narrative only makes sense in 2013 if he’s latino or middle eastern but nobody’s going to do that

Jo is one of the most supportive and kind people I have never met and always manages to say just the right things (the perfect amount of validation, acceptance, and encouragement).

Thank you.

You know, I used to think I had a proper gif for everything. But I am currently in need of a happy/melt into the floor/blush/hugs for your current situation/assurance that you deserves all the validation because your feelings are valid….and I’m just going to go with the sloth.

You are very very welcome.

According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, autoimmune diseases, which include conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and more than one hundred others, afflict fifty million Americans and strike women nearly 75 percent of the time. A survey taken by the association found that 45 percent of patients with autoimmune disease were labeled as chronic complainers early in their diagnostic journeys, with the resulting delay in diagnosis often leading to organ damage from lack of appropriate treatment.

Hysterical hypochondriacs!

Through the same language described in the quoted article, my daily headaches were more or less ignored by everyone but my parents for about 15 years—until they started turning into seizures.

Women in pain? Eh, you’re just whining/weak/looking for attention/etc., etc., et fucking cetera. That’s part of why women receive about $0.79 to each dollar men receive in disability benefits.

My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are - really and truly - still in existence somewhere. […] Plainly, there’s something within me that’s ready to believe in life after death. And it’s not the least bit interested in whether there’s any sober evidence for it. So I don’t guffaw at the woman who visits her husband’s grave and chats him up every now and then, maybe on the anniversary of his death. It’s not hard to understand. And if I have difficulties with the ontological status of who she’s talking to, that’s all right. That’s not what this is about. This is about humans being human.
