To the maestro,I raise a toast!!!

This goes to the all time music maestro in Tamil and Telugu Music...Ilayaraja...special mention on this one song "Jaamurathiri Jaabilamma"..from the flick "Kshana Kshanam"...starring Venky and Sridevi and directed by RGV...the song features awesome recording of all those little pitter patters that accompany any natural habitat..specifically a forest in this case..with the usual Ilayaraaja rendering of melody and 90s hip beats....sweet flute and violin applications...and those sensible and light lyrics penned....needless to mention the ecstatic vocal rendering by S.P.Balasubrahmaniam and S.P.Sailaja(needs confirmation here,folks,sorry)...i specially love the shimmering use of bass and electric guitars,here and there...an absolute hoot of a song for a romantic evening with your soulmate..or for slithering into sleep...this is as sweet as telugu music goes..kudos maestro!!!

Speed of Sound

Heyy folks,
its time for our song of the day...its called "Speed of Sound" by my all time Favourit band..Coldplay..is a british band (proof enough that british things got charm,eh?)....consisting of four major players...Chris Martin(lead vocals,piano,guitar),Jonny Buckland(lead guitar),Guy Berryman(bass guitar) and Will Champion(drums,backing vocals,multi-instruments). The song has amazing piano and guitar notes and falls on a sweet lonenly note with the lyrics falling into themes of innocence regarding science and technology....indirectly relating to a condition aspiring freedom into this wonderful world...a case of commitment and desperation before gaining ultimate enlightenment...what newton wud have sung as the apple fell off the tree..or what the wright bros wud have sung on seeing birds fly nd discovering the phenomenon of lift....indeed technical as well..as it begins with "How long before I get in,before it starts,before I Begin?"...truly marvellous..in fact this was the song that made me follow rock music as a purist..though I'm still an amateur here..check out the song, nd count me on getting up juvenile....Cheers!

Heyy folks,
Why does violence occur?
I guess its out of difference of opinion,irritation and frustration,right??
When you feel like you can't stand it any longer, you resort to violence,am I wrong?
Unless its with some sort of secret intentions,long term benefits,the works...that lead to huge meaningless wars...little strifes,disturbances and riots are out of frustration and irritation,rite?
I seem to have a solution for this,then...
Just plug into a rock song,any rock song and scream along with the vocalist to let out the frustration and irritation....I've tried this several times and trust me it works..once you're done screaming along a couple of rock songs..you'd have no more of that irritation left in u..not any..and whats more,you'd feel a lot more relaxed and free then...what say?
And the mantra...relax,enjoy, and remember "life is too short to be wasted in strifes and anger"..listen to music and enjoy instead!
for the record, u could check out albums by Metallica, Iron Maiden, ...the works!!!
I hope I left no offences....!!!
