Non-English Music. There's a shitload of it but it just doesn't get the exposure it deserves.
Things are getting a bit better with Korean pop festivals popping up over here and SBS showing Asia Pop on Sunday mornings... but it's Pop. I FUCKING HATE POP!!!!

Anyway, here are some bands that permanently live in my iPod and you may have never heard of:

*The Hot Honey Bunny Stompers (Japan) - Romance Jintan (year?): [link]

*Lupus (Chile) - Voces (2003): [link]

*Кино (USSR) - Кончится лето (1988?): [link]

*Running Potatoes (Argentina) - Te Equivocas (2006): [link]

*Daniel Darc (France) - Un peu c`est tout (year?): [link]

*Ego Wrappin' (Japan) - Darui (2009): [link]

*Sakanaction (Japan) - Aruku Around (2011): [link]

*Papanegro (Chile) - Cortentrete (2003): [link]
  • Listening to: Victo Jara and Violeta Parra

I tried to listen to PopAsia on SBS Radio but couldn't stomach it...they redefine the term "bubblegum pop".

Non-English music has pretty much been metal-based; Rammstein is the obvious one, though I've recently been introduced to Dir En Grey and they're not so bad. I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now.

Of course, I'm referring to the non-metal music I've been exposed to... ^^;

Thank you! I always look for good foreign music, but in the US it is way too hard to find. We have some decent spanish radio in a few cities, and there seems to be a reasonable appreciation for German music, but thats it. It's pretty sad.

Talking about Kino... have you watched the "Igla" ("Needle", 1988) movie? And how about the other good russian bands? DDT, for instance?
