there have been a few bands who were very important to me as I was aging from my teens to early twenties. Sadly, by the time I turned 23, I wasn't following them anymore due to reasons ranging from laziness to mediocre music to the death of the audio cassette. Coldplay is one such band. I think their first two albums were great, the third was ok...and then... I don't know.


However, somewhere between those albums they released The Blue Room EP which has one of my favorite Coldplay songs ever. It's called See You Soon. It has the simplicity that I saw in Parachutes, and could never find again. Check it out here, it's not in any album.

the reason I'm not in some Engineering College is because I didn't study when I was supposed to. Watched a lot of TV, and was crazy about shows on Star World/Zee English which had good background music. Discovered bands like Travis, Dandy Warhols, Coldplay, Radiohead, Doves during that phase. Pori was listening to Fever Dog by Stillwater (Almost Famous OST) while chatting with me last night. One of my favorite songs ever from my favourite movie. See it if you haven't, here's the song - scene playing Fever Dog.

Discovered another nice band last night while watching the 6th season of How I Met Your Mother - it's called Real Estate. the song in the third episode is Beach Comber - Real Estate.

please suggest some good music.

it rained the other night. and I had deadlines to meet. But the radio was playing You had time by Ani DiFranco. Deadlines can wait. I was busy enjoying the corny moment, where all I could think of were those blurry collection of random happy minutes. Of people who left, who were far, who stayed behind, and even those whose images grew smaller and smaller as I moved on.



....and i thank the RJ who played it.
