I was inspired by Cortex's argument
here that "songs that explicitly talk about how great rock and roll are rarely rock."

Introducing Project Pop (Formerly Indonesia's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-suling metal-dangdut-comedy folk sextet).
Their hit "
Dangdut is the music of my country" [youtube link--music starts at 0:58] code-switches between pop metal and dangdut, affectionately mocking the cheesy pop of their parents' generation.
Here is a great play-by-play translation of the details of the video.

A song from a promising project called Lek that ended up short-lived as we found ourselves living far away from each other.
Lyrics and melody by the same friend K who sang the
Bjork cover that I posted a while ago. The music is by the rest of us.

Guitarist and singer
José González's myspace page mentions [lots of youtube ahead]
Low and
Elliot Smith. And no review of the Swede whose parents left Argentina in the 1970s is complete without a reference to
Nick Drake. But what about the influence of styles from the hemisphere his parents left behind?

I have no idea why I decided to choose that name half a life ago. It is a 12-string fingerstyle barnburner played with pinky slide.

To rock or to pick? That seemed to be struggle that played out on this old cassette that I recently dug up and digitized.
This is another 12-string fingerstyle tune in an alternate tuning (Cc Gg Cc gg gc ce). I played around with tuning the double-coursed strings to different notes.

Another fingerstyle tune from the cassette time capsule. This one was recorded on a six-string with my friends backing me up on cello and percussion.
