Day 44: Hudugaru

Cool song from a Kannada movie; impressive because it's sung by two Hindi singers (who probably don't speak Kannada) as well as Vijay Prakash, the guy who sings Manmohini Morey from Yuvvraj.

Day 43: My Phone Alarm Ringtone

That horn solo around 1:00 once the song starts up will wake any sleeping person.

Day 42: A little disoriented

Two songs about getting a little tipsy/intoxicated.

Hindi:
1) Khaike Paan Banaraswala-Don. The classic party/paan/tipsy song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUoZGpqyEe0

2) Subha Hone Na De - Desi Boyz. Because every night is party night.

Tamil:
1) Kikku Eruthey - Padayappa.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ50uulx9Hc
This movie contains the epic scene where Rajni materializes a swing out of nowhere, because he is the South Indian Chuck Norris. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S42TJjB3pcg

2) Thirunelveli Halwa Da - Saamy. Explains how all the different saamy (gods) are associated with various venerated objects, like a blade, a village, but for this guy Saamy, he's associated with a bottle of alcohol.

Day 41: Culture Shock

Here are a few songs/remixes I like by the group Culture Shock

-Superbass + Bumbro. This concept works beautifully.

-Rude Boy. Another sick remix.

Day 40: Origins of Bird Flu

Short post today, been super swamped with work.

Some of you may have heard the song Bird Flu by MIA:

Here is the original inspiration for the MIA version:
Thiruvizha Nu Vandha - Jeyam

Day 39: Abheri

Continuing the trend of picking a raag, here are some songs in Abheri.

Instrumental:
1) Abheri by L. Shankar. First and foremost, listen to this. He won a Grammy for this composition. He's playing a double violin, and it's incredible (no idea how he's playing at 1:36 so fast). If you like it, look up the full 40 minute version, it's great.

Hindi (some of these may be Bhimpalasi, which is really close to Abheri):
1) Manmohini Morey - Yuvvraj. An underrated song from this aggressively mediocre movie, this song is interesting because the ascending scale is North Indian/Hindustani and the descending scale is South Indian/Carnatic.

2) Tere Sadke Balam - Amar. Classic Dilip Kumar song from the 50's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlTdU5C3lpo

3) Kismat Se Tum - Pukar.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftOsgf9xFok

Tamil:
1) Kannodu Kanbathellam - Jeans. A hilarious story involving a computer projection of a second Aishwarya Rai, intended to convince a pair of male twins that there are two of her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpODjWfy_aI

2) Anbe Anbe - Jeans. Another great song from this movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUydYmpfi9k


Telugu:
1) Neevena Nannu - Maya Bazaar. Very famous movie from long ago, here is one of the songs.
