so i just dropped off a seal team in one of uab's fine sanitation facilities when i had an epiphany. i had my zoon handy and was listening to zep's anthology album mothership on shuffle when whole lotta love came on. and i realised... thats why the arabs are mad all the time. because their music fucking sucks. you ever heard it? it sounds like goat horns and people getting called to prayer, mostly. sure, theyve gotten some poppy techno beat machines from europe but ill be damned if its not all the same loop over and over again.
o'er christmas i got the arab version of now: thats what i call music (alaan, arabiyya) and was amazed at how shitty everything was. i was used to hearing the apparently only two good singers from the ME, lebanon really, and was disappointed when i heard a bunch of dudes whose chins probably looked like some european womans crotch (ie, hairy, gross). its all a bunch of goat horns and dirty arab guys hitting their a'ins way too hard and holding them for like five minutes. for those of you who dont know, thats probably the most unpleasant sound in the arab tongue, or possibly any tongue, and has no place being sung for more than half a second. its like the sound you make when someones choking you and youre pleading for them to stop. anyway, the cd blows big dicks.
if only the arabs could have musical gems like led zeppelin. remember the first time you heard zep? didnt it take you to a different world? some of my best memories alone in my car are driving down 65 to gdale with their first album blaring, what with its ten minute songs and intricate guitar solos. hot damn, that takes me to a different world, a world where i could jump out of a whirly bird ten feet off the ground with a platoon of fucking hunter killers and proceed to stack up gooks like so much cordwood. hoooooooah.
tl;dr, arabs need better music, i love zep
