i tried to write a script once. this was the songs that opened it:
merle haggard "sing a sad song"

really the script was about just thinking about scenes to put to music. this song was next up:
sparklehorse "heart of darkness"

i drove home to visit my family over the weekend. I listened to the tinariwen album twice, once on the way up, and once on the way back. then i listened to it the next day on the subway home from work. i hate that i've succumbed to a "world music" act, but it's so good. i'll have to not listen to NPR twice as hard to make up for it. it is cool to hearing eastern music played on western instruments. they sound like they'd culturally be playing music based on the quarter tone scale but because of the instrumentation are using the semi tone scale. but i'm pretty ignorant when it comes to that stuff, so it's just a guess as to why it sounds both familiar and foreign.
tinariwen "nak assarhagh"
