hi people
This may not end up as a blog....just sharing my moods on music...

Music entered my life through a old panasonic mono cassette player ..I t was bought by achan in his early 30s i think... H e was very particular about it and still consider it very valuable...He had a good collection of cassettes on BONEY M , ABBA , BEATLES and a few speeches by OSHO.. He was more a radio lover....
So those were the first songs i have ever heard...i do remember me hearing Rasputin and DADDY GO in it..But it never made drive craze into me..Brother(Ettan) usedto connect it via some amps and make it partly stereo and hear it...

but i was really obsessed by music by the song "chinna chinna aaasai" by ARR..that love towards music is still remaining...the taste has changed from the lightest to the real punk rock/...

I stuck at pop for a long time inspired by MLTR..and westlife..It made me hear boyzone and bsb...
after that period my favourites swinged between different modes..Pink ffloyd still remains top in the list...(not all songs by them)...
Hostel life introduced me to HIP HOP and hard rock..it was good for some time..but now i feel hiphop not as music....
especially after i saw AR Rahman directly in a concert with all his singers performing original tracks...it was program worth seeing....
Even though i couldn understand a bit of classical i do like it ,,especially the compositions by Raveendran master..
Languages were never a problem to music and my hard disk even contain some telegu tracks...
And i beleive rahman as the best of all... He simply handles everything...Of course ilayaraja is great in melodies..but his fast numbers are a bit boring...In that matter ARR had maintained balance...

My present favourite is Nothing else matters by metallica...I shall add the lyrics below..They are too good...


so close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

So thats it....bye... do hear it
