My reaction to Gogol Bordello was to turn it off and listen to either 'standard' eastern European music or 'standard' punk.

Both standard punk and standard eastern European music are pretty predictable, at least musically. I like my genres blended, like Gogol Bordello, Sonic Boom Six (ska, punk, hiphop) and Mischief Brew (folk, punk).

These were at CES. AP had a story on them.

This is why I love the Quite Interesting game/panel show on British television. Besides showcasing four great comedians on most episodes, it's full of this kind of stuff. That's where I learned that nail/hair doesn't actually grow after death (they just seem to grow because the body loses moisture and shrinks) and loads of other stuff.

How much will the book cost?

As a joke, it doesn't have to be perfect. It may fail as a diagram, but it conveys the joke perfectly.

Is it just me or is that the Yellow Devil Mega Man?
