Evil, Foreign Music
pogonrudie:
Dengue Fever is a psychedelic garage-pop band from Long Beach, CA comprised of a bunch of Americans and a wonderful (and gorgeous) Cambodian frontwoman, Chhom Nimol. Their style is a mix between traditional Khmer pop songs, B-52's space-surf, pumping Farfisa organs, and lo-fi 60s psychedelia nuggets. While their debut and sophomore release are sung entirely by Chhom in her native language, their third release Venus On Earth finds the band incorporating English lyrics and duets with bandleader Ethan Holtzman. In short, a fucking blast. Click the images to download.

How psychedelic garage rock can "not be someone's thing" is non-computable to me. Not trying to be a prick or anything, just saying. Give their most recent (Venus On Earth) a download and give that a chance, it's probably their most accessible. Let me know what you think :)
JD:
This is pretty sweet.

I couldn't be arsed to download the albums, so I put Dengue Fever into last.fm radio, and after it played me a (pretty decent) DF track it then went on to play loads of cambodian 60's and 70's pop singers who were all without exception killed by the Khmer Rouge, and it was very depressing. It also then went on to play The Red Krayola, which probably means I have to try at least one album.

And while we are on "EVIL" foreign music.....
Ever heard the bollywood copy of a Spice Girls song?
