for those of you who have been hanging on the edge of your seats for the
latest...apparently, transglobal underground (not transcontinental as i had
previously written) is the name of a band not a volume of 'musichounds'
(kids!). they play a fusion of just about everything. according to
'musichounds', their best stuff is with natacha atlas. atlas does her own
stuff (i have her 'gedida') which is apparently more traditional 'arabic'
music.
i was going to praise her and make an argument for why you should listen
to her but, i'm beginning to realize how ridiculous it is to go off in detail
about something none of you can hear. kind of like telling blind people how
much they'd enjoy touching a van gogh.(<--- intended as a measure of
absurdity not as a joke or an insult)
