salada:
i don't think there's been a thread on this yet... i stole this idea off a post on kottke.org. what languages do you have in your music collection? i just looked now and there's more than i thought.

english - most of everything i own (with lyrics).

french - amelie soundtrack, a fair chunk of french hip-hop, and some poppy stuff.

german - some indie stuff and a random hip-hop compilation. and kraftwerk.

spanish - beuna vista social club, and some pixies stuff, and i think there's some spanish on the new mars volta, but i need to listen to it again.

swedish - more hip hop (although a lot of it's actually in english)

japanese - mostly random vocals on DJ krush albums, and some odd soundscape-y stuff.

icelandic, and, err hopelandic - you know who. and i think some múm stuff might have some icelandic lyrics?

arabic - miscellaneous stuff by asian dub foundation, nitin sawhney, natacha atlas and some local guys.


so yeh. what've you got? i imagine resident classicalheads will be able to come up with a pretty good list.

(edited for spelling mistaeks, ps.)

La Creme:
About half my stuff is instrumental, but besides that:

English - I'm american, what do you think? 99%ish.

Tongues - Mostly all my Mr. Bungle. Some other assorted stuff, like "Berserker" from the Clerks soundtrack. What the duck are they saying? Would you like some making fuck?

French - Mano Negra, the Tripplettes of Bellville soundtrack, and some other assorted stuffis.

Spanish - Hardly any.

Unintelligible Irish - The Pogues. Sexiest Irish accent in ever.

Assorted other. I'm not that multi-cultural really. I should be. Plus I'm too lazy to check what language some of my musics are in.

*EDIT* I FORGOT ALL ABOUT KRAFTWERK! I listen to Autobahn almost every week.

Holy crap. With the exception of a couple of, ahem, O-Zone songs (which are in Romanian), all of my music is in English. I feel so uncultured.

a pack of wolves:
English - Most of it
Finnish - Pax Americana, maybe a couple of other bands I don't play much
French - Some Submission Hold, Belle Epoque, Daitro and I think I'm forgetting a couple here
German - Chorea, Asmodinas Leichenhaus, verious other pretty harsh hardcore stuff
Japanese - Some of the stuff on Thrash Ahoy!!!, I'm sure a few others if I checked
Spanish - Los Crudos
Swedish - Some D.S.-13

Hmm, I'm sure there's more, I really need to go have a look. Interesting topic, it's got me thinking.
