One of the things that drives my extreme distaste of the country-western style of music is the strong tendency toward extremely nasal vocals. It really, really rubs me the wrong way. Which is, you know, a perfectly fine reason to dislike a style of music I think.
The problem is that I was listening to some random Hindi stuff (not the stuff I begged off
I guess I’m just not sure what the difference is between the two. Is there an actual aural difference? Is it something associated with spoken accents? Is it a combination of vocals and instruments? Is it just that I’ve ‘hated’ country-western music for so long and that’s been my rationalization? I’ve got no idea.
EDIT: It seems I left an oh-so-crucial closing angle bracket off an html tag, which caused LJ to hide the rest of the post. Fortunately it was all still there, so I didn’t have to retype anything, just put the bracket in. Whoops!

Was there supposed to be more of this post?
Did you get eaten? Pounced? ARE YOU DEAD IN A DITCH?
This is Thomas’ mother. I am sorry to say that in a freakish accident Thomas managed to roll off the couch, through the sliding glass door, off the deck, fifty yards down the hill (managing to dodge three trees and a storage shed), over a barbed wire fence (yeah, we don’t know either), and into a ditch. Somehow he still had a wireless signal out there, and with his dying breath he managed to submit this, his final blog entry.
What was he trying to say? I fear that that question will haunt me for the rest of my life.
More seriously, I fixed it! Also, my I really suck at imitating my mother’s writing style. Also also, your comment made me giggle in class. Bad, Mo! I got the look for reading email in class, and then I got the ofther look for giggling like a school girl.

Hindi stuff rocks. We were just taking about how when we get home and start listening to Western music again, and especially start watching western videos we’re going to think there’s something frightfully wrong with them.
I hate country music too.
