Experiments & Ottobiographies

Allo allo everybody,
It's that time of the day/week/month/year/time frame of choice that you'd prefer having. So for those of ya'll tunin' into this whole blog thing of mine, well today is your lucky day...this probably might be the shortest blog entry I've ever written :D, yes I'm excited 'bout that fact as well. I do have a longer one, though that still is a work in progress in my head space...but worry not the moment I have that 'bursting at the seams' urge goin' on in my head space to the point where my fingers literally get all jittery and twitchy, you will get that monster post :D...whether you like it or not.

None the less, this one is more of a post for the moment, I guess it sparked a few thoughts...but a lil' birdy, yes literally or I guess virtually a lil' birdy (it's a little hard to work on the literal difference between the 2 at this point, trust me the source will have you about as flummoxed as I am, with regards to how the contextualize this birdy, but going back to the topic at hand)...so literally I found out through a lil' birdy that the maestro A.R. Rahman will have an autobiography out soon. In addition to that, I believe Mr. Mani Ratnam (one of India's finest film-makers) will be doing the honours at the book launch party. See me being the idiot I am I decided to send a response tweet to the guy who posted this up on twitter (yes that's the lil' birdy I was talkin' bout) and tol' him 'Hey u know wat else wud b awesome? If the man released a composition tracing the highlights of his life.' I proceeded to read the article, yes the guy is a reporter for a Bollywood website...to hell with being politically correct or not, but I've been saying Bollywood since I was a kid so screw you if you think I'm not bein' propah and wat not. But goin' back to wat I was saying, I went and read a more elaborate version of the tweet and almost hit my head, 'cuz apparently there's CD with 8 tracks composed by him...now I sincerely hope it's not just from his movies, 'cuz c'mon that would sorta kinda b a rip off and it would be really difficult to pick only 8 tracks from the 198342193875098772345 tracks you've composed. So those of you buying his ottobiography I hope you guys get some fresh & original muzaak in there.

But yeah, can you imagine if his ottobiography was only a set of CD's with a composition that he thought was befitting for the story of his life..I mean can you imagine fresh and creative new ways of weaving in tunes from Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Taal, Lagaan, Guru (just to name a few), oh right and Slumdog Millionaire in along with your compositions? AAAhhhh...thinking of ways to play around with all of that is sending me to music heaven...I would say nirvana or moksha, but technically that would mean nothing-ness and believe me when I say music, especially Rahman's compositions do not take you to a place of nothing-ness, they take you to newer planes, realms and dimensions. This man is a pioneer if anything and he has definitely raised the bar as far as music compositions and the quality of music is concerned. Not only that, he has also inspired a whole slew of people heck generations of people from all walks of life to be part of that divine revolution called Music.

But yeah, if I was a music composer, that's how I'd release my autobiography...as an epic composition. Maybe it sounds narcissistic or self-centred, but, some people are best at expressing themselves the way they've always expressed themselves...not everybody is a talker, not everybody comes with an arsenal of rapier wit and enchanting words. Expression is what makes us unique, and appreciation or criticism (I guess you gotta take both the good & the bad together for this one, one doesn't and cannot exist without the other) for this form of expression is what makes us, as human beings, come together. Well kids that's 'bout it for now, I just wanted to share this piece of news with all you Rahmaniites and I wanted to share my idea for a musical ottobiography with all you music afficandos out there. What do you guys think? Wouldn't that be a wicked cool idea? Or did someone already beat me to the punch with that idea? I wouldn't be surprised if they did...so here's my question to you, how would you compose/create (think outside or inside any box you want to, this ain't just limited to music) your autobiography? Take care peeps and I hope all is well with each and every one of you, until next time keep yer chin up & head up high 'cuz b8r days are always rite 'round the corner :). Cheers!

Music and Masala

Well Music = the Masala in my life, sad? Nah not really :D...well I'm doing a trial run of songs for the "Ultimate Wedding Playlist"...okay that sounds about as grand as a balloon that pops, for some reason today I'm not in the mood for FIFA fever, in fact I'm in the mood for some foot tappin', soul shakin', ear drum resoundin' beats...and Yes I finally started the broda's playlist or else I'll be an example of the modern day Vlad the Impaler's victims :P...okay maybe not impale me but definitely put me in a headlock of sorts that would cause permanent painful reminders lol. Not that I don't have enough of those courtesy of broda, but hey what the hell might as well fill up the repertoire of unforgettable brodaisms. Think 'bout it I could write a pre-wedding memoir for him titled "Brodaism - A Way Of Life for the Older Sibling"

All said and done, while I do love my music it is the hardest thing to select for someone else 'cuz as you wonderful people know everyone has different tastes, now who the hell knows what my brother's taste in music is besides rock, heavy metal and more rock :|. And I'm not letting a lotta that play at the wedding, people are gonna sue us for emotional and mental trauma as well as auditory trauma :| ... looking back at this point in time I could sue him for all of that...muahahahahahaha...but that's okay he's getting married soon he'll get a taste of his own wonderful medicine...aah karma thou art such a biatch :P. Well sis in law to be gives him some and then some more :D, it brings such a huge ass smile to my face :D bahahahahahaha.

A'ite I'm digressin, so while this ickle energizer bunny is being fuelled by music cells I think I must try and get as much done as possible in terms of cleaning up or else I fear a boomerang or a spoon or something turning into a projectile and headed straight for my head, as aimed and fired by my mother dearest. Dad stays on the sidelines :P just so he doesn't end up in the dog house :P, well actually he's doing most of the running 'round for the wedding of the summer, the poor man keeps saying how he's pretty sure he never did as much running 'round for his wedding as he did for good ol' broda's. As D-Day approaches, tempers are gonna flare, ppl. are gonna transform into sticks of dynamite, ignite and FIREEEEE!!! I should prolly start preppin' a play list for that lol. And no amount of zen and me yielding my peaceful ways is gonna help.

A'ite so here's the deal with the music list, as of now I have a page of music on there, neone got ne suggestions toss it on here please? :D...According to my lovely mother I listen to sad songs, she thinks they're sad 'cuz they're slow :|. I tried reasoning with her and saying mummy it's semi classical and is really poetic, she tossed a face at me that said "Jeez kiddo, act your age not an 80 year old." Well when my mom turns 80 she's still gonna b the cool mom who jives, bops and busts out more dance moves to that generation/time's B.E.P, Lady Gaga, Usher, Shakira, Flo Rida and whoever else the next few generations are gonna come up with. Which reminds me I do have to add all of 'em onto that list or else she's gonna smack me over the topside of my head, which is quite sad, 'cuz at this rate apparently I don't need much to be smacked over the topside of my head. My broda does that 'cuz he thinks it's his birthright and he doesn't really need a reason to do so, which is absolute rubbish in my humble opinion. But then again like he would say my opinion does not count nor does it matter.

Right so this is as much masala as there possibly can be for the moment, time for energizer bunny to energize onto other things and conquer one room at a time and dominate the generation of sound waves in this house :D...BOOYAH! Cheers kids and stay safe and have a ridonculously awesome time doin' whatever you're doing. Adios, sayonara and au revoir for now.
