When reading i enjoy world music in a language i dont understand, it lets me "zone out" and enjoy my reading instead of paying attention to what is being sung.

Ill say this, the middle east is really stepping up their metal/extreme music scene.

Funny you should write that: one of the pulls of Latin pop vs US Top 40 is that they could be singing about the dumbest shit in the world but my limited grasp of the Spanish (I can read it, but they sing too damned quickly) keeps me in bliss.

I remember during the Iraq War that Vice did a documentary on an Iraqi metal band that eventually acquired funding to tour.
