My new blog

And it is on music. This time though it is on my favorite musical instrument, the guitar. I tried learning it several times only to give up sadly. But at least I have a blog to show my love and appreciation. Check it out. http://guitar-appreciation.com

Music embed screwing up

Just when I thought I could scream in joy comes the nightmare. The embedded player completely screws up in IE whereas it seemed fine in Firefox.

Then in Firefox the embedded players all start playing even when I have not selected the Auto play option. I check this morning and it is all gone wrong on Firefox too.

Got to find a way out or go back to the old method.

MusicMazaa.com offers embed

This is great news because now you don't have to leave my site to the site that is offering the music. Instead you could listen to the songs right here from madrasbee.blogspot.com.

Right now MusicMazaa.com is offering the embed. I only pray the other follow suit too.

Watch out for the posts or maybe I could start embedding reviewed songs and music?

Vijay Antony IS on a Roll

I cannot believe the hits that this guy is churning out. Check out "Kanni Vedi" from the upcoming A Aa E Ee and you'll know why. The entire album is rocking but Kanni Vedi stands out. Lyrics may be slightly adult-inclinded but who cares. The song rocks with lovely bass lines. Don't miss it.

Good new songs from A R Rahman and Vijay Antony who is on a roll

Yuvraaj is the movie and more songs in Indian albums are being named in the western style and not the usuag first three or four words of the song. These days A R seems to be giving only a hit or two per movie instead of making all the songs hits. Don't know if the director demands these days are so. Three songs are lovely in Yuvaraj.

Start with "Manamohini More" my favourite from the movie where Khawali is mixed with western music. There is one point in the song (when the raagas are being sung) where a little studio editing is apparent. It is almost difficult for the vocalist to sing that portion. Try and see if you can locate it.

The other good ones are "Tu Muskura" sung by Alka Yagnik. It is nice to hear another good song from the "Ek do Theen" singer. The opening lines are better in the song than those that come in the middle. The other good one is from Srinivas called "Zindagi".

Check them on MusicIndiaonline.com.

Meanwhile Vijay Antony seems to have another hit in "Poove Poove Sollidu ithu Kaadhal Thaana" from the movie Rasikkum Seemane.

The good song from Vaaranam Aayiram axed and other stuff

I am still recovering from my illness but that doesn't stop rejuvinating music from my ears.

I am not sure what is going on with songs of Vaaranam Aayiram but "Ragasiyam" is missing from the Musicmaaza.com listing. But one new one sung by Sudha Raghunathan, "Annul Maele" is lovely and has been included in the list of songs. MusicIndiaonline.com still lists the "Ragasiyam" song but it is not complete.

Meanwhile Vijay Antony who has a knack of delivering at least one catchy dance number is back with "Ammane" for the movie "Pandhayam". A bit on the parental-advisory side the song is nevertheless catchy, a sure to become hit.
