“I swear, officer, I met a caravan of seven thousand Guatemalans who said they were going to Alaska because you’d never look there”

Some day? Probably. But if it isn’t for now, I’ll take it as an improvement for now

I’m not sure if it was the pronunciation in all of the UK or just in parts of it, but historically there was also a “bwoy” pronunciation. I could imagine the American “boo-ee” descending from that

In British English it sounds the same as “boy”

I’m certainly not about to say they don’t count just because they’re not Tuareg. The riff in Soubour is so god damn cool

Desert blues! In the 90s, a lot of Tuareg musicians living in the western part of the Sahara, especially some that met while serving in the Libyan army or fighting in the 1990 rebellion in Mali, started combining Western blues and rock music with their own folk music. This has turned into a full-fledged genre of its own which I think anyone keen on guitar-based music has a good chance of enjoying.
