Foreign Music
« on: June 30, 2004, 09:18:07 PM »
SO we have a foreign exchange student here right now, and he will be here for most of the summer.  And he brought a few disks fully loaded with Spanish MP3s for his enertainment.  I, naturally, asked him to borrow them and put all of them on my computer.  I have an insane amount of Spanish rock and pop on my computer.  And most of it is good.  I am pleased.

Sometimes I listen to Radio Darvish on iTunes radio while I'm photoshopping. It's this Iranian thing.

I've got a lot of anime mp3s too...

As you can probably guess, most of my foreign music is Scottish or English  folk--Kate Rusby (Yorkshire) and her ilk.

I'll join SE's Irish club. Mostly Clannad, Maire (Moya) Brennan, Mary Black, Nightnoise, et al.

I have one from South America called Viento de los Andes. Good stuff.

Okay, I also have some Japanese. Hiroshima, Kitaro, and Keiko Matsui.

oh yeah, there's those Shonen Knife files...

anyway, when I say Irish, I'm talking about real Irish folk, like the Clancy Brothers, or Irish rock, like the Levellers or Great Big Sea. Not this namby pamby new age sstuff.

I've got one Great Big Sea song, and an album of Irish music from Irish Americans in Chicago, and a few Clancy Bros., and a few Irish Rovers. They're quite fun.

I've got all of the old (read "pre-gringa") Shakira, as well as a nice chunk of Gypsy Kings, some Fey, some Luis Miguel, Enanitos Verdes, and of course Mana. Some other Mexican groups too, but they're not very good.

J-Pop is my guilty pleasure.  Except when it comes to the B'z, that's just pure pleasure without guilt.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I like J-pop too, some of it.

My husband has recently become a big fan of Orange Range, though, who are more rock, but still have that classic Japanese quirkiness.

Orange Range's Naruto ED is incredibly nonsensical.

What? I didn't mention the Chieftains or Cherish the Ladies or Altan and suddenly I'm namby-pamby? By the bye, Mary Black is not only real Irish folk, in the fine folk singer tradition, she was banned from the airwaves during the big IRA problems in the early 90s because her lyrics were too . . .  incisive. Or do you consider U2 to be Irish rock/folk?

U2 is Irish. And Rock. But not really Irish rock.

Actually, I don't really like the chieftans tha tmuch, but it's the Clannad I didn't like. THey're pretty ... icky.
