OK, so I took a brief detour into the realm of mainstream pop music for a little while, which seems to have not gone over all that well with my regular readers.

Rainbow Arabia is a new favorite band of mine. If you like The Knife, Gang Gang Dance, Crystal Castles, M.I.A. and/or We Are The World (and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you?) then you’ll like Rainbow Arabia.
