Nirenjan’s Space

I met up with my cousin sometime last week and he introduced me to some new music.

One was Richie Blackmore’s Temple of the King, a slow song on the lines of Hotel California that appeals to your heart. The song features a nice long guitar piece in the middle that I really like.

The second, it’s pretty funny, it’s fusion music at it’s best. Black Eyed Peas’ The Elephunk Theme. This song is a remix of Ilayaraja’s Unakkum Enakkum Aanandham from Sri Raghavendra. To tell the truth, I haven’t heard any of the songs from Sri Raghavendra, but when I heard The Elephunk Theme, the first thing that struck me was the Tamil lyrics in the background. However, this song has a nice beat to which you can tap your foot nicely. On surfing a bit, I stumbled upon this post. Check it out…

By now, I guess most of you would be knowing about A. R. Rahman’s programme on Monday the 15th Saturday the 20th, weather not playing spoilsport at Jeppiar College of Engineering.

Anyway, there’s a practice session tomorrow (the 14th), and the Chennai Traffic Task Force and the Citizens for Safe Roads are practicing for regulating the traffic flow.

From the press release:
