that's because the contemporary bands in the movie have only geography in
common as you pointed out. a severe lack of taste and discrimination was
exercised in choosing them. gogol bordello? please. i haven't seen this
thing yet, but i'm pretty sure that a lot of the archive footage probably
comes from a video tape of mine that's been circulating for years. they
couldn't even get some unseen stuff! if i sound like i'm scoffing at this
movie, i am. deal with it.
