The Section Quartet - "Time Is Running Out" by Muse. Gypsy punk. Gypsy punk is a hybrid musical genre that crosses traditional Romani music with punk rock. One of the first rock groups to incorporate elements of punk and Gypsy music was Motherhead Bug, which was active mostly in the early 1990s. A broader audience became aware of the genre after the band Gogol Bordello released the album Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike, with front man Eugene Hütz describing their performance as a "Gypsy Punk Cabaret".[1] The term "Gypsy punk" then came to describe the genre and then came under criticism as it was considered exploitative of Roma culture.
Gogol Bordello have since insisted it was just the name of their album, which was then taken and used by the music press as a term to define the genre of their music and similar artists — not an offshoot term for authentic Gypsy music. [citation needed] History[edit] The origin of the term Gypsy Punk may be disputable, but it is agreed that the Romani culture is how the style of it began.

On a green hill on the borders of London, in the eastern square of the Central Line, sits an extraordinary thing. I say thing for a reason – it's hard to describe what it is. It's a huge egg. It's an obelisk made of thousands of round stones. It's a terrifying pagan beast, like something you imagine chancing upon in a public information film, or a primitive BBC horror story from the 1970s.
Then, as you approach it, you realise that it is singing.

"Do you remember when you forgot about RICK SPRINGFIELD? " That's the tagline for the new film An Affair of the Heart, a loving look at the steadfastly intense relationship between the New Wave-era power pop heartthrob and his core audience. The documentary, currently playing the festival circuit, offers many pleasures. It's a stirring defense of female fandom; a look at how a musician whose fame peaked three decades ago survived the breakdown of both the conventional music industry and his own renown and a concert flick that will get "Jessie's Girl" stuck in your head all over again, after who knows how long.
It's easy to forget that the "popular" in pop music signifies more than the stuff that gets the most repetitive attention. Joseph Spence - Yellow Bird.
