Day 20: Work + - Sleep

It's been an absurdly long night of various tasks (choreo, mixes for teams), hence the 620am post.

Here are 3 songs I've used in time of dire concentration and also just as background noise for a nap.
It's a set of 3 from AR Rahman's Connections album. All are flute instrumentals, and C is definitely my favorite.

Day 19: Skipping Down The Street

A few songs that are just that right mood and speed that you could skip down the sidewalk listening to it.

Hindi:
1) ABBG from Kuch Naa Kaho. A song that uses English letters as a pun for a short conversation in Hindi.

2) Mera Joota Hai Japani from Shree 420. The stuff I listened to as a kid, this song gained immense popularity in countries surrounding India, particularly in Russia.

Tamil:
1) Azhaipaaya from Kadhalil Sodhapuvathu Eppadi. Complicated long name, but one of the most chill songs I've heard in a long time, esp 1:43.

2) Hosanna from Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya. Movie was remade in hindi recently as Ek Deewana Tha. Dance sequence at 1:36 was especially popular.

Day ....18: War Rhythms

So I fell horribly behind, then forgot this existed, but my friend Neesha reminded me so I'm gonna start this up again.
Apologies to anyone who has been anxiously waiting for new stuff. :|

I just finished a major project, feeling motivated, so here are some super hard hitting, almost battle drum beat worthy songs. Most of them also happen to be devotional, there's certainly a cultural connection between the two.

1) Deva Shree Ganesha from Agneepath. By the Marathi composers Ajay-Atul, who make awwwesome drum heavy songs .

2) Seval Kodi from Billa. Remake of Don in tamil, but the hindi counterpart is a little more melodic and less drum heavy. Both are great songs.

3) Sakti Kodu from Baba. Literally translates to "give me strength." Fantastic AR Rahman song. Also, any video with Rajnikanth is epic.

More coming soon!

EDIT: This song deserves to be on this list too. Aarambh from Gulaal, literally a political war song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxybS3Dah4k
