Rock and Roll is dead. It's all about dance music now, where you been?

ROCK is dead when they pull my lps/cassettes/8-tracks from my cold dead fingers. Rock isn't dead, it is just underground again like it was in the past...and one day It Shall Rise Up again and people will grow mullets and wear torn acid washed jeans and moccasin boots, and bandanas will be used for more than just tourniquets, bullet-belts and bad dragon earrings bought on Hollywood Boulevard in dingy storefronts will once again rule the world.


OR not.

Just bought this on Amazon based on a song I heard on a sampler...Ohm Baba. Apparently from Seattle and ****ing catchy as hell

To oversimplify, it’s like this: panoramic rock ‘n’ roll fronted by a petite, beautiful Indian woman scat singing in Hindi. The cross-pollination is dizzying — East and West, ancient and modern, pop and classical, ecstatic spiritualism and headbanging rock. The potential for Rusted Root-style world groove dilettantism arises and is crushed by the frontwoman’s chops. It’s hard to argue her authenticity. Her name is Mehnaz, and it turns out the Mumbai native is a big deal in India, having recorded a national pop hit in 1996. Now she’s working with a crew of veteran Seattle rockers in effort to do something truly unprecedented. It’s an ambitious project and a stylistic departure for a town very much rooted in rock ‘n’ roll tradition.”

Sometimes I get lost on Youtube and end up watching a bunch of coverbands. It's somewhat of a guilty pleasure.

Here's a guy sounding just like Geoff Tate from Queensryche, it's uncanny
