Banglapalooza

For the last few nights we've been treated to a concert that's about a mile away, but loud enough that we can hear every word.  The sky is lit by flashing searchlights & the music is distinctly western: there's been a lot of 1990's-style bands reminiscent of Foo-Fighters, Gin Blossoms and Blues Traveller - but all in Bangla.  A few songs have even evoked mid-1980's U2, but last night we were treated to something I really didn't expect: Bangla Death Metal.  At least, I thought it was Bangla: I really couldn't tell because people screaming over driving drums and distortion-ridden guitars all sound unintelligible.
