Music seasons

"Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes." - Bill Cosby

There's something we all like , and that something's appeal may or may not be lasting....Well I'm not gonna talk about some random something.. My somethings' appeals usually last long...cos in the first place if I like something , I become a diehard fan of that something !

LL I can talk in circles....!!

Well any ways what I was gonna say was this:

I have been listening to music ever since I turned a teen... And my very first love was punk.... I loved everything about punk rock...the attitude..the looks.. the feel...the music..juz about everything on the list !! That was the time I loved Avril Lavigne's music!! There was greenday and there was good charlotte and that was Season 1 ! People around me (family ofcourse :D) told me its a bad idea to listen to demoralizing profane music.It all depends on the way you see it.. I saw it as pure music :The punk - the profanity !!! :D

Then I started listening to rap.It didn't replace my 1st love i'd say! Akon lallygagged during that season.. :D There was Timbaland,Timberlake and there was usher and that was Season 2 !

The succeeding season saw me obsessed with Blues,classics,R&B,pop,hiphop ... the rediscovery of abba ( my childhood fav band) .. then Enrique Iglesias (swooooooon) Gosh... his music is indescribable.....just the tone of his voice fixates the listeners.!!there was Rihanna ,nelly furtado and there was hilary duff,Lindsay Lohan ..So that was Season 3 !

So much for classifications.. there could have been more seasons intermediately....My memory s the size of a peanut!!!! :P So this is the season I'm in now...

Probably Season 4 :

I love listening to OSTs.... The wake of this season was because of the Braveheart movie theme (Celtic Bagpipes) that sopped me up :D !!! So these days I'm collecting movie themes and the like.... Yea and one more thing.. This season also features Gracy listening to Mozart and Beethoven ! So thats basically all of relaxers without the lyrics .The music is simpleeee awesome... You can literally loose yourself in music of this kind!No doubt about that !!!!

Any must-hear music tracks or the like.. Do post it here ! Looking forward to listening to it !!

Hilary Duff

I am having a dozen things to blog about .... But unfortunately no time and more importantly, my broadband bandwidth usage has exceeded(by nearly 2 gb !!! ) Its nearly winter(the "indian" style) here.. and its raining almost endlessly for the past few days..I soo love the rains..... Speaking of which, I come to the topic... Hilary Duff.. More specifically her song -"Come Clean" thats shot in the rain...
Hilary is the teen world's tv sensation(sadly isn't a teen anymore), turned movie star, turned pop rocker) - Gosh ! That gal sure has numerous assets !!
Till date I haven't missed a single movie of Hilary Duff's.. That doesn't make her a swell actress or anything..(not that she isn't ..LOL ..Am I contradicting myself?? ) But she is a reallllllllyyy good singer with amazing vocal cords that make Superb Music!!! Yes I do like most of her tracks.. And recently I loved her song -"Come Clean".. There are some songs that you don't like at first ,but you come back to it when time makes u 2 and u think that its awesome.. This is one such song 4 me !
Do watch the music video :

Hope you had fun!! 4 stars to this track :)
See ya soon.. (Moi next post is kinda Specciaaalll don't miss it )

Les Miserables

Now...what would anybody think on seeing 'From My Lounger' - probably that - this gal's such a movie freak..insane romantic comedy lover?? dumb movieholic(forgive me if there isn't any such word )..! There are definitely more things, I do from my lounger than see movies all day long (even though thats what I've done recently :P ) like read books, magazines,newspapers.... I like literature too..infact it has been my First Love :) So....Tadaa.... Here comes my first book review..
There are so many good books that I could write about,but the reason I chose to write about 'Les Miserables' is that it was the first real novel that I read..(if i remember right) Way back in class 6 , we had an excerpt from this book as Lesson 1 in English.. Since the story was abruptly finished, I had a strong urge to read the full story....
The protagonist, Jean Valjean, is sentenced to prison for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. After his release, Valjean plans to rob Monseigneur Myriel, a saintlike bishop, but cancels his plan. However, he forfeits his parole by committing a minor crime, and for this crime Valjean is haunted by the police inspector Javert. Valjean eventually reforms and becomes under the name of M. Madeleine a successful businessman, benefactor, and mayor of a northern town. To save an innocent man, Valjean gives himself up and is imprisoned in Toulon. He escapes and adopts Cosette, an illegitimate child of a poor woman, Fantine. Cosette grows up and falls in love with Marius, who is wounded during a revolutionary fight. Valjean rescues Marius by means of a flight through the sewers of Paris. Cosette and Marius marry and Valjean reveals his past.

It is indeed a gripping story ,having a multitude of subplots which were,needless to say, comprehendible to my class 6 brain.
The story has been filmed several times and made into a musical too. From what other people say,the musical seems like something that shouldn't be missed!
For the first time ever , Book,music,and movie review all in one post !!So whatcha waiting for grab a copy if it isn;t read yet!

4 stars for the book !

ABBA & ABBA teens

The ABBA is one good band that I used to listen when I was really young.It was Nickelodeon (the popular kids television) that introduced me to this cool band thru' the track - Mama Mia ! I remember me recording the song - tv->stereo .. just imagine how crazy I must have been about this particular song. :D
Other songs of this troop's that I listen to are :
Nina pretty ballerina
Hasta manana
Dancing Queen and chiquitita !
Then came the A Teens (ABBA teens) - the next generation of Swedish Pop group that rocked the world (formed as a tribute to the ABBA ) Their track Mama Mia ( was the one that I actually watched , as I learnt later :O ) topped the charts and stayed #1 for 8 consecutive weeks !
Tracks of theirs that I simply LOVE:
Upside down !! (Awesome music )
If you enjoy their music, U sure'll enjoy a 2008 movie based on this popular 70s group's music - Mama Mia (starring Meryl Streep - Whoa !!) :)

Being the first "real" band music I listened to.. they have a special place in my heart ,Always!
3.5 stars from my lounger !
