Or:How I Learned to Stop Worrying and blah blah blah

There are things, powerful things, that keep me from making regular posts on LJ or my blog, and amongst them are a strangely useless ergonomic keyboard, my propensity to make more spelling mistakes in a sentence than actual words, and the evillest invention of man yet, work. My theories on how

filthy secret #1: would you believe i'm a poser and know zilch about "music" and yet, i work for a music mag? (an uber-pretentious one at that).

[serioussam]

So long as you know your sounds, I'll read what you have to write any day over anyone who thinks they know music and keep comparing RHCP to Ferdinand(the horror!).

I never thought of you as musically illiterate. You may not be very well educated but I am the illiterate one. And I have a 30 gigs MP3 player that has uncategorized music that I like. In my head there are only three kinds of music: the kind with great lyrics, the kind with great sound, and the kind I cannot decipher. Marten and Faye would not even acknowledge my presence in this world.

PS: Now that you have returned, stay returned.

You need Bob Dylan, LocoRoco, and Sex Pistols for your player.

I like Marten and Faye, you know that. But it's just an overdose when they keep picking on emo culture and list pop bands like it was important. Sometimes, I really think Dora did good to quit the whole goth scene.

I downloaded Dhoom 2 album yesterday. Kill me. :)

btw, the writing style of this post smells like another frnd of ur's :)

[serioussam]

stabby stabby! :P How is it though? Any good?

Dunno about the writing style, wanted to make a long ass post after a long time, went ahead and did it. No pausing, no grammar check, just me typing away at 1 in the night. Wasn't conscious, if you see any familiarities. I don't, but hard to be objective.

if you want music with real sounds, dip into the pool of indian folk music. i get hooked onto background scores mostly bcoz they have no lyrics. But such a curse it is! years later, the music rings in my memory, but i have no way of acquiring it. if it's from a regional song, i'm doomed. i never know the lyrics nor the artist. how i wish i could google sounds!

my latest obsession are these two lines of bengali music soaked in rain, which were played as bg score in Monsoon Railways, Nat Geo. now tell me, where can i get that?

[serioussam]

I like folk music, but it's hard to get. You usually have to listen to them "live". Which is the best way to listen to all music, really.
I never saw that show, so don't know which song. There are plenty on my to-find list too. There was this faux folk tune running in the background of a television ad(I even forget what brand it was for). I hum it once daily so's I can't forget it. :(

WHich is that ARR song?

[serioussam]

This one, sir.
Hindi, predictably. But you have to realize my access to non hindi ARR is limited to Beatzo's trips to Delhi.

[jayasankarvs]

Oh, yeah. Great song. Would be glad to help you in building up you non-Hindi ARR collection.

[serioussam]

You are inbound to Delhi sometime? Actually, just point me some recent and decent, and I'll see if I can download. :)
Oh, and while on th topic, anywhere I can buy Tamil/Telugu DVDs or Audio CDs online?
