[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 So... last night I saw The New Young Pony Club and they were really really good! It doesn't come across as well on cd or in , but I can assure you; seeing is believing! The other thing I've been listening to is M.I.A.. Some videos; Jimmy Galang Boyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belladonna Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I just came across Emmy Rossum's 'Slow Me Down' and I'm totally captivated by it. I don't know if there are any instruments in the background or if it's just her voice but it's beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEVTQ6fx_AM Oh, she was in the Phantom of the Opera movie.

[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) To elaborate a bit, many people seem to think that 'world music' should stay traditional, like something that needs to be preserved. Of course, there is room for some of that. But it also makes it a dead language. I think you should move it forward. M.I.A. is a good example, merging traditional imageray with grafitti aesthetics in her art and hip hop with traditional bollywood sounds. Elsewhere, a lot of interesting things are happening as well, from the of Gogol Bordello, to the of Manu Chao. Maybe from ? Or maybe even ? There's interesting stuff everywhere, you just need to get out there and find it rather than letting the marketing machine feed you...

The Indian side of me agrees with you... However, the American side of me is fascinated by the "Jimmy" video . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
