You just know when you have to put up a new post. The comments start drying up, the last comment you wrote may have pissed people off, and above all there is that inconvinient itch under your ear. King Arthur being the only movie worth watching on tv may be another reason.
When everything starts to go smoothly in one's life, you pause and take a deep breath. You spin around, check for trouble, find none, and are left feeling slightly empty. And slightly stupid.
I wake up in the morning, can't wait to get to office, have a wonderful day, come back via the scenic route and go to bed. Its all very nice and happy. But you know what I want to do? I want to wake up in the morning and say to the world: I need a saga, what's the saga?
That's what we need. A saga.
Even when all is fine with your world you need some convective currents of inner turbulence, a bloody saga.
Well, so that's what the Queens of the Stone Age song is all about.
Then there is a song called The Journey to Funkeshwar, and damn, you like the song already. Khadi Junction Blues, showcasing their sucky female vocals exceptionally well. But the funky riff is worth a listen man. Go Khadki go!
And then I don't know what song I should upload. I decide to let the 'Oh Lord thou art in heaven, let Yohan like jazz' movement continue in my next post.
So then I decided to post Jack Johnson.
He is a guy I would instantly dislike. He's clean, has no passion about anything, looks like an idiot and is American. But then I heard 'Gone Going' done by him and the Black Eyed Peas (who are simply superb), which wasn't bad at all. Then I heard Sitting, Waiting, Wishing which wasn't bad either...
Balls, he doesn't fit my saga.
Ah. The Scissor sisters. The world is now divided into people who like this song, and those who hate it. That's a saga.
I love this version of Comfortably Numb and who cares? who cares?

PS: Um, if someone is actually downloading these files, please ignore the College girls looking for romance on the download page. Yohan refuses to use rapidshare. He prefers lewd Americans to ze Germans.

There and back again
Complete disgust, self-doubt and low self-esteem are just some of the many emotions I encountered during my sporadic trysts with blogging.
Now at last, I have something I think I going to truly enjoy. Yohan and I mostly like similar music, but he's partial to women who can sing.
This really is a nice blog, its just right. In all my earlier attempts there was always this "tone" I had to set to whatever my blog was supposed to say. But here its just nice and free. Noel Gallagher's contemptuous remark about Jack White says it all.
Even though the White Stripes make way better music, cheek is cheek.
I don't really have something specific to write about. Hmmm.
Here goes:
First up is Mirwais with disco science, straight from the Snatch OST.
I never much liked this sort fo music, but it was 1 in the morning and in the midst of my sleepiness, the thump through my headphones had me in some sort of weird trance. I listen to this track at least once a day, it keeps me sane.
The next one is by a Pune band called Khadki Junction Blues. The first sort of local band that I think I am going to become a real fan of. The female lead vocals are terrible, though they are slightly better on this song compared to the rest of the album. The rest of their eponymous debut (I always write that somewhere) has more louder, funkier tracks, with also some fusion thrown in for the Indian Ocean crowd.
Expect a lot more of this band on this blog, no matter what you think of them. How can I not upload songs with names like Journey to Funkeshwar and Khadki Strikes Back?
Finally, Take 5 is my effort at making Yohan listen to some Jazz, this is the track that converted me. There is such a wonderful world out there, will post some excellent Brazillian jazz soon, Portugese/Spanish just SOUNDS so good.
