Ear-buds of Music - 7/6/2016


Before I begin with this week’s list of seven songs I think you guys need to hear, I want to begin by apologizing for throwing a wrench in my one day one post schedule. I was unable to post my review for Kaleeshwarabhavanam on the night of the 6th, because there was a power failure and I lost all access to the internet.

I am also sorry that this post is a whole day late (again due to power failure caused by the rains) , but I will be posting this on Tuesdays from now on. I will also be posting a review for Oru Kodi Kanavagul today. Hopefully with that, this whole fiasco will end and I will be able to get back to my regular schedule of one post a day.  I know that it sounds horribly complicated, but all you guys need to know is that I will be posting two drama reviews today.

So, now that I have got that explanation out of the way, here is this week’s list of seven songs from different genres which I think you need to hear.

First Class – Henry Jackman
Genre: Instrumental, orchestral
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWffS74aXBU
This theme is just too epic and badass. Just put these on and do your work, and you will literally feel like you’re Magneto moving metal with your mind. But it doesn’t even compare to the awesomeness it becomes when the rock guitar kicks in. Even if you don’t generally listen to instrumental music, give this thing a shot. You’ll love it.

Keep on Walking - Gabrielle Aplin
Genre: Pop, acoustic
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaoIDk-ewFo
This song has a lot of soul to it. On the surface it basically sounds like a pop song but somehow, I really like the lyrics and the beat and the vocals. It also helps that the music video is not too shabby. Personally, I enjoy this song a lot when I am walking somewhere. Oh the irony :P

Elastic Heart - Sia
Genre: Alternative
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZGAExj-es
Frankly it was a hard pick between this and Chandelier. Both of them are amazing songs sung really, really well by one of my favorite vocalists. But I prefer Elastic Heart to Chandelier. Your mind may vary on this matter nevertheless; both of them are great songs. Check either of them out and you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful Now - Zedd
Genre: EDM
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1a7o44WxNo
I really am not a huge fan of EDM. There are very few bands that I listen to and even fewer which I like. I will say this, I do not enjoy much of Zedd’s other music. But this particular track is really good. It probably is the beat and the vocals. Whatever it is, I enjoy it, and I am sure most of you will.

Pretender – Foo Fighters
Genre: Rock
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBjQ9tuuTJQ
This is probably as rock-y as rock gets. The beats, the guitar, the bass and the screaming everything just, funnily enough, screams rock. Along with Dave Grohl’s Vocals, the video also does a good job of selling the song.

Inner Universe - Origa, Yoko Kanno
Genre: Opera, alternative
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVgSuuUTwQ
This song is just haunting. It doesn’t have a proper flow and most of the lyrics are in Russian, but somehow all of this adds to the feel of the song. I listened to this song on a loop for abut fifteen times. It really had such an impact on me. Your mileage may vary, but if you keep an open mind, im sure you will agree with me on this one.

Symphony no. 40 in G Minor – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Genre: Classical
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTc1mDieQI8
This is one of my favorite Mozart pieces. The way the music flows from the soft tunes to the crescendos is just indescribable. I honest cannot, for the life of me, explain why I like it so much. I just do. I guess that is the magic of Mozart.

So there you go guys, another seven songs for the week. Like I said, I will be posting a review for Oru Kodi Kanavagul today, so stay tuned for that. Until then:

Peace!!!

The Dramatic Arts : Saduranga Parvai

Image
When creating a play, it is difficult to achieve both critical and commercial acclaim; but once you do it becomes even more difficult to do it once again. It’s like lightning striking the same place twice; it is possible, just incredibly rare. After the incredible success of Kaleeshwarabhavanam, with its incredible sets, powerful music and impeccable lighting, the bar was set incredibly high for Koothapiran Navabharath Theaters; and with their newest play Saduranga Parvai they aimed to set the bar even higher. Did they do it? Let’s find out, in this in-depth analysis of Saduranga Parvai. Seeing as how an in-depth analysis is something that I have not done before, I want to preface it by saying that I will be spoiling some details, barring the main twist of the play, as it is its most important component. This is something new I am planning to do with the Drama reviews this year both in an attempt to improve my own writing and also because I believe an in-depth analysis will g...

Lara didn’t like it. She knew what he had in mind. She was afraid. She heard James, a deckhand scream. He escaped from his bonds and ran. “Lara, run.” Those were his last words. The Russian’s bullet hit its mark. The scuffle had given the others a chance to escape. She tried to follow. She felt the Russian hit her. She fell down tasting blood. “Don’t you fucking move.” He said and went after the others. She had to escape. She struggled to her feet and moved into the shadows of the trees. Evading the searchlights she entered the village. The village burnt by the Russian and his me...

Movie Review : Independence Day Resurgance

Image
Ok screw this, I’m just going to come out and say it. Independence Day resurgence is complete and utter garbage. There is your review. Until next time; Peace!!! _ _ _ _ _ _ What are you still here? I just reviewed the whole movie. It is garbage. _ _ _ *Sigh* Fine I’ll go into a bit more detail. But please do not expect my usual format because I don’t have the patience to dissect this movie any further. Independence Day Resurgence is set twenty years after the original movie and it is basically the story of how the aliens come back for another round of ass kicking from America, the greatest country in the history of the universe. I will be the first person to admit that I like bad action movies. But here is the thing, most bad action movies are fun to watch. Most actors in a bad action movie know that they are in a bad action movie and they have a hell of a time on screen. Take London has Fallen for example. It is a really bad movie. But I ...
