Gogol Bordello RSD 2010 (45 @ 33)

This is a new feature where we will be ripping our 45 rpm records at 33 and posting the results. Just like the grown men who were sped up to become Alvin and the Chipmunks, any artist on a 45 can be turned into Barry White by taking it slow.

More for comedic effect than anything else, we first found how hilarious it could be slowing down our 45’s by accident. Taking our Record Store Day 2010 release of Gogol Bordello’s “Immigraniada (We Comin’ Rougher)” and playing it slow had us stitches, partially because Eugene sounds like the devil and partially because it now sounds like GWAR rather than Gogol. That opening bass-line becomes so much more satisfying once it’s slowed down, making you feel it as much as hear it. The b-side, “Trans-Continental Hustle” is a different sort of hilarious, as it actually works slowed down. Check out the original tracks on YouTube, then check out the Mediafire links below to give the slowed-down versions a listen, and try to make it through without laughing. We dare you.
