I love everyone on the list except Enrique. I saw Flogging Molly on St. Patty’s day about 4 years ago and it was amazing.

Anyway, only one person I tagged has hit it up so far, but it was Muse and she put up all kinds of cool Urdu stuff, so it’s a quality over quantity thing

I like the list (except for Iglesias). Freemasons should be better known I think.

Yeah, the video was definitely odd. But the song was really nice… what were they singing about?

As I was listening I thought about “Jolie Louise” by Daniel Lanois… he put out an album years ago called ‘Acadie’ where the songs were written in the styles of the French regions of Canada and the U.S., so he started with the Québécois then the Acadians, and ended up Cajun.

‘Jolie Louise’ is about the Quebec region just a little north-west from where I live:

And this one’s about the Acadians who were forced out of Canada and moved to Louisiana (Cajun), and has Aaron Neville (!) singing backup:

Here’s a Chizh (Чиж) song (I can’t find the one about the train, which is the one I listed). They’re a pretty old Russian band. I used to listen to them when I was a wee little girl. This is another great one:

Here the song is set to an American TV show. Gotta love YouTube.

I couldn’t find Chizh & Co. but the Howard Shore was cool and dark, have you heard “Heart’s A Mess” by Goyte? Beirut reminded me of Arcade Fire and I’ve always liked Flogging Molly… which sounds weird. A friend of mine has a band called The Peelers (on hiatus) and they’ve done shows with Flogging Molly and The Mahones. You’d probably really like Ashley MacIssac, there’s a lot of his work on YouTube.

The Freemasons remind me of the music my little brother used to play when he was getting… ‘prepared’ to go out. Despite the memories they bring back of him dancing around the living room, I like them. Coldplay I mostly like, Enrique Iglesias… I can’t believe I’m admitting this in an open forum, but I like some of his stuff.
