to the moon and back

You know I noticed a funny thing today while listening to the song 'to the moon and back' by Savage Garden. The thing is most english songs use 'vocals' to take the song at the stage from where the instrumental can take off. So they end in a long instrumental section. While Hindi songs are just the opposite. They use instruments to take the song from where the vocals can take off. So they end always in vocals. hmmmmmm

btw here is the song ...

Nu Look

Yup. Back to the flashy layout. Added two gadgets too one for the vids and one for the news both related to the title.

Finally WANTED is released here

I don't know why some movies still take so long to get released here. Anyways 'wanted' has some real good action scenes. Though the story is not matrix-good still the action and Jolie makes up for it. Some action sequences are so good you wonder why no one thought of them before :) Must warn though, lotsa use of foul language all throughout the movie though that gives authenticity to the plot. I mean I couldn't imagine Morgan F saying anything else but kill that MF in the climax :)

Reshammiya is back!!!

First things first. It's really difficult to spell his name. Something I just realized. A long time ago Amitabh Bachchan (I am not sure how to spell his name either, anyways) in one interview took his name and made me realize that I used to pronounce it incorrectly. I used to pronounce it Reshamayya!!! But since then I corrected it to Reshamiya (like reshami or somthing) but the spelling correction realization didn't happen until now.

So well after a long break dude is back sans the cap. So far I have heard three songs from his new movie Karzzz. Let's talk about the first one 'Lut Jaun'. I first heard it on FM. The underlying tone continues all through the song. That's uniq and gutsy. To keep it on all through.
But then looping is what makes Himesh so hummbale. This repetition is why we can't get the damn song out of our minds. They just get imprinted there due to the bombardment.
So he's done that to the extreme in this song. The main theme tone just goes on and on and on. He tops it with Aaaalaaaaps and they are real nice too. Then the song begins and my favorite drums come into the picture! Himesh is a master when it comes to using the drums and building the composition. In the end I love this song. As of now that is. I am sure I'll get sick of it. But as of now this song rox.
The second song is all over the network. Hari om hari om hari om om. With the fake accent. This one's ok. Very similar to so many other hits of his.
The last one is the remake of Ik Haseena Thee. Man he's messed this song. The guitar is good but rest all is crap. The gaps in 'us gali men' 'mera aanaa' 'jaanaa tha' are essential. They create the tension that's the soul of this song. oh he has so messed this one up. Anyways. Lut jaun lut jaun lut jaun is good.

Found this hilarious blog which has n number of entries on misbehaving customers. Not always funny but very insightful if you want to know the typical American customers.

Bachna E Haseenon

What a song what a song dot com.

I really love the use, the grand use of trumpet in this song. I never liked the original but this remix is fantastic and I am making everyone listen to this song when I am driving these days :) But the video sucks man. The dance is such a let down.
but what a song. apni ada hai yaron se juda ...

time is illusion

lunch time doubly so.
so my last post was on 42. I have not only read the book twice since but also heard the complete BBC radio series and watched the movie. I understand now how different characters behave differently in the different versions or behave the same for entirely different reasons. no wonder it's now one of my fav books. HHGG rocks.
