So, for some reason, I'm getting into classical Indian music, especially sitar stuff. It's quite calming. I can also see how some drone metal bands took influence from people like Ravi Shankar. Is anyone else out there into this stuff?

You might want to check out some stuff by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, too -- he was Paki, and a singer instead of a player....but those Sufi qawwali songs are every bit as mind-blowing as Ravi's sitar riffs.

Shankar recently had an article in The Guardian where he sounded a bit miffed about how people treated India during the 1960s.
Well, everyone, prepare to have your guts kicked out by folk singers...

Funny, I just got done listening to Ravi Shankar's The Sounds Of India album. I liked it.
Please get a more original avatar than Radiohead's OK Computer and The Clash's London Calling. Yes, that means you.
