Just read an article on CNN that Morrissey is apparently huge in Mexico, and that Morrissey wasn't even aware of this until just recently. Mexrissey is a Tijuana-based Morrissey tribute band.

He's had a large Hispanic fanbase for some time. He first toured South America/Mexico in 2000. He also lives mostly in LA. He wrote 'First of the Gang to Die' for his Mexican/Mexican-American fans.

Anyways, bought this on whim some time ago.

Speaking of Morrissey, The Ukrainians (members of The Wedding Present) did a cover of "Bigmouth Strikes Again".

I love Japanese metal, a good example:

But even folky rock Japanese music like this:





Above vids feature music that is typical southern Japan (Kyushu) folk music.

Lots of great post-rock / noise bands from Japan as well -- Merzbow, Melt Banana, Mono, Boredoms, Boris, and Bo Ningen are some of my favourites.

I went through a Japanese metal and rock phase a while ago. I still have stuff like OOIOO and Buffalo Daughter (more alt-rock) on my rotation.

Buffalo Daughter is cool. I saw them play at The Republik in 1998. They opened for Girls Against Boys. This was at a time when there was lots of buzz around the music scene in Tokyo and there was talk Tokyo would be rock's next big scene. Bands like Buffalo Daughter, Shonen Knife, Cibo Matto, Pizzicato Five, Cornelius, Towa Tei and Polysics were all touring Europe and US and Canada to get the word out and American indie labels were releasing their latest albums or greatest hits retrospectives. Tokyo never became the next big scene (looking back, I think the next big scene turned out to be NYC with The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs and LCD Soundsystem leading the charge). Anyway, there are so many great female (or mostly female) bands in Tokyo today that were clearly influenced by Buffalo Daughter and Shonen Knife and Cibo Matto. Too many to mention but some of my favourites are:

Go!Go!7188!
That's a No No
She Talks Silence (New album in July!)
The Suzan

This could have probably gone just as easily in the covers thread but I thought I would revive this thread. Was watching Elton John perform Crocodile Rock last night on Colbert and I recalled an early memory of singing to that song in Chinese. I'm pretty sure a Chinese version of that song was a big hit in Hong Kong sometime in the 70s, and it was popular enough that I learned the lyrics as a small child. Anyway, I tried to look for the Chinese version of Crocodile Rock on the internet and although I didn't find anything, I found this treasure trove of awesomeness:

128 covers of English-language pop songs in different languages! My favourite cover is this one. It's even more awesomely stupid if you understand Cantonese.
