I heard "Buttons" for the first time tonight and it gave me a craving for rogan josh, or maybe vindaloo.
Why aren't there more dance songs with a vaguely South Asian backing? Did Linkin Park ruin the tie-in?

Check out M.I.A., who is Sri Lankan. I don't think it factors much into her music, though.
