My 2010 Music Round-Up

It’s been a long and exciting year, with a million different things happening. So it obviously calls for a round up. I thought I’d start off with a music round-up before the sports, books and personal one because it requires less time and thinking (and fewer arguments ) My phase this year (maybe, semester would … Continue reading »

My Week of Sabbath – and others…

A conversation a few days back with one of my buddies back home set off this whole ‘Black Sabbath‘ phase. I’ve been listening to Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Dio, Ozzy Osbourne and Rainbow. Not entire discographies, just specific songs/albums. Here’s Heaven and Hell with a favorite of mine – Bible Black. A live version with … Continue reading »

Ruska

It means autumn leaves in Finnish. The beauty of which can overcome you. It marks the end of something bright and beautiful but signifies the coming of a new season. It’s heart-wrenchingly delightful. It’s the song. Apocalyptica’s Ruska from their eponymous album. I heard it and I cried. Simply tore my heart out with the simplicity … Continue reading »

There’re 3 posts sitting in my drafts and I’ve made no attempt to release them from those verbal confines *because they’re all half complete* As the second round of midterms approach, and the numerous projects that hang over my head I find … Continue reading »

Immediate Music

This is also my instrumental phase. Have been listening to instrumental covers of my favorite songs, and original compositions. They’re breath taking. It just proves that sometimes words are never needed. I’m just going to put up the few I heard this morning, all by Immediate Music from their album Trailerhead, will put up other … Continue reading »

Sizzled Up!!

I hadn’t realized how much I missed working till I sat in front of the computer two morning ago and looked at code. I loved the feeling it gave me!! I felt somehow complete. Wholesome. That I was doing something productive after a two month hiatus. Kind of the same feeling I had when I … Continue reading »
