Foreign

Let's try this again, since I'm up at 5am with nothing else to do. Hopefully this time, one of my posts will survive blogger's lawyers (change links from hxxp to http). Theme of today's post: Music I cannot understand! Alternatively called, music I wish I could sing along to.

Numbers by 8Eight
Trio touted as the Korean Black-eyed Peas. Part of this song sounds a little bit like MIA's 'Swaggas Like Us'.

Quelqu'un M'a Dit by Carla Bruni
Mellow French music by an Italian. Incidentally, she's also the French president's wife. One of my friends kept playing this non-stop last year, so now it's permanently stuck in my head.

Hekkushun by RADWIMPS
Japanese rock. I just found this song and it's so... weird... and... angry... but good. One of the most schizo songs I've ever heard.

Kleva (DJ Zhao Remix) by Mapaputsi
Zulu hip-hop remixed by an Asian. Yes, you heard that right. It's funny what you can find on TV.

Um, okay this is cheating. But everyone should also listen to Rachael Yamagata's 'Elephants'. I was lucky to see her live in Pittsburgh and she is so awesome. And did you know Will Pan did a song with Akon?!
