New Mongolian Invasion
I have a thing for Mongolia (OK, an esoteric thing). Mongolians have a thing for power chords. For example, the Mongolian band Hurd makes really cool music that transforms traditional themes and melodies into everything from sugar-sweet pop ballads to screaming metal bonanzas, often incorporating traditional instruments. And now even the New York Times is focusing on the geopolitical implications.
