Only tym will tell how much ekta kapoor will ruin it.

To people who administer Mysticalchemist land

So its been raining all month in mysicalchemist land and it's not like we have frequent powercuts, just few prolonged ones. And so far only a foot bridge has collapsed. Yeah, right. Stadium roofs have also collapsed and the roads aren't there any longer. I think they have submerged under the flowing rivers flowing in place of the roads. Also, the remaining parts of roads that were still visible have hid under potholes and dug-up holes and manholes and all the other holes.

This is for all the people who responisible for or adminster all this or work in these deptts or can do something about this to kindly rescue the people who have been inflicted with all the rain induced infrastucture-less-ness of the mysticalchemist land and go do something about the power and the damn foot bridge.

-regards
people of mysticalchemist land.

ps- I think the rain has stopped but that is just one thing.

LP's Suns' Concept

All right, so five minutes after the previous post, I find this article on MTV. So apparently, there is no definite story in the album.

This is what Mike Shinoda is saying (after reading which I think that the whole concept-less concept album doesn't bug me so much):
"People asked us if it's a concept record, and in the middle of the process, we were contemplating whether or not that was what we wanted to do. And I think, as we finished it, it became clear that, usually the problem with concept records is, like, [the] term usually refers to things like [the Who's] Tommy or ... rock operas and stuff like than that has a narrative. And this doesn't have a narrative; it's more abstract that that. "

A Thousand Suns II

All right, so I am not a musical genius, but i did realise that Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns is a concept album. I have heard like two-three times by now, and frankly, where is the story?

I mean, out of the 15 tracks, I hav even started liking some more that I did the first time, but I can't figure out the concept of the album.

Its just this thing they are singing and A thousand Suns, I think, failed achieve the depth it could have. Just a bit of modifications, and this album could really have done well for me.

Anyways, I still think 'Wretches and Kings' is the best track so far.

A Thousand Suns

Linkin Park's new album A Thousand Suns was released on September 14 and I was in high hopes that day about how great it was going to be and everything but now there is just one thing that keeps coming to mind.

I finally heard the album today and it completely stripped of Linkin park-ness. Hybrid Theory and Meteora but both amazing, Minutes to Midnights was still entertaining, but this album really did it.

It has like 15 songs out of which I think 3 are just famous-people-quotes, the opening song (The Requiem) Was Something like what Green Day did to 21st Century Breakdown's Song of the Century, but they (Green Day) did it much better. Even the lyrical style was different. Linkin Park was all about life and human perception (that's how i see it), but this album has just a hint of it with political and social opinions being more prominent. Frankly, I don't mind it one bit, if they would have done it in the same style.

Most of the songs simply didn't make it to the bar I had set. I think Wretches and Kings was the one song i actually liked, but the rest kinda hung between nu metal and rock. That Linkin Park thing was missing.

All in all, it was a big disappointment. Though the cover really got me. One word for it: Beau.ti.ful. Love the way its done and and the title interpreted.

Rating - 2.5/5

Taylor Swift's Innocent

Yes, the song premierred on VMAs 2010 and admitedly, it was better than I expected. Really, after I heard Mine, I was a bit disappointed because it had the Love Story rhythm, but it didn't have the charm. (The video was great though). But Innocent has a strange Evanescnce tinge to it, which isn't very bad. It might actually work.



Matilyn Monroe (sort of hair
)+curly hair+red lipstick=definitely not working.
 But yeah, that hairstyle of her's might have been a miss.-------------------->







ps- I just realised that the title could mean a lot of different things.
