Foux de fa fa

This past week I have been trying to find decent artists who sing in languages other than English. Unfortunately when I find one, I don't get the other. Why am I doing this? Work playlists. The theme this week is foreign language. I did find a few things worth talking about in my seemingly neverending quest:

Black Ingvars. If you've been reading my LJ for very long, you should know how much I love this band and their ridiculousness, I just figured this was a good oportunity to pimp their name again. Basically they do metal covers of childrens songs, with hilarious results. Most of their albums are in Sweedish, but if you're interested in metal covers of popular songs in English, check out Kids Superhits.

Jakobinarina. Icelandic punk. In English, no less. It's got a really decent beat that I can't help but be happy when I listen to. Unfortunately they only released one album, because touring became too stressful. Alas.

Les Wampas. French punk. In French. They have a great song about Manu Chao and how he went from punk rock to doing world music, and how the rock community suffered a loss because of it.
