Back to work

So you think you can dance uses really good music sometimes. A new band I found while watching the show was District 78. The song used on the show is called Game On. However, found another nice track from the same band.

Then I found out that another song of band's was used for the Battleship Trailer. This is the one.

Life 3.0

As the misty dew settle on the lids

Awakened from a nightmare never to stay

A shadow of the known, the embryo’s nest

Dances to the hope of another day

The night before, the lamps dimmed

Brewing fear that guts from within

The night after, the glow swelled into the room

Folding into the comfortable womb, akin

                                                                   

                                                                                                                                 

The day before tomorrow

Today has been a bad day for music exploration. However, this one was quite interesting

Very strange but very interesting

Acid trip anyone??

Am sure this has been used for some trailer. I really like this video too

LED it on

In one of those moods today. And these tracks fit perfectly

This one is Score worthy: 

And as I have said before: You can recognize a Sigur Ros track blindfolded. I dont mean to be dumb when I say "blindfolded". 

I chanced upon this particular artist a few months back and heard some newer tracks today. However, went back to the original discovery which I thought was an absolute smasher. I absolutely dig this video as well....

Another one that I thought was absolute stunner was this one

Just a few of them today. My internet connection is a bitch today :)

In Between

I had a long tough morning. Have a long evening ahead too. So here is what I am doing in between:

This is ofcourse a Chemical Brothers song. The trivia is that this song was done in collaboration with a post rock/psychedelic/folk rock Texan band called Midlake. 

Another cool band that I chanced upon on youtube is: The Faint. They are an Indie rock/dance funk band. rock Found this one to be really interesting

And then of course, my favourite genre of music is metal/classic rock and i really like this one

The day post the close shave

I have this habit online, like most people do these days, that is, surfing on youtube randomly. Most of my friends look for cool ad campaigns (which I need to do these days as a part of my job function, sigh), or funny videos (I like them to be sent to me directly or use facebook for it), or rock videos (yes, Bangalore's sweet baggage; I love). I have however, turned to discovering new and unique (that eliminates popular) music. This has been my favourite online hobby since the past 3 years. I have a pretty interesting music collection from different genres by now that i can boast of and proudly say :Yeah, I discovered them. I just thought that it would be a good idea to blog my daily best discoveries not just for sharing but also as a part of my music catalogue. I still dont know how to document them, but I guess will find a way down the line :) For now, will start by doing this:






Had listened to a song by this artist, 2 years back, called Ramalama Bang Bang , which was spectacular and tried looking her up today to find this one

Score Material

Cool Ambient Stuff :) Will use this while I am working on my crappy excel sheets :)

An Acid Trip

Like Sigur Ros but not quite :)

The Girlie Song, we all need them. The remix version is more fun.

If 90's music were made now

and the Best of the Day so far. Its waiting to be a score in a Tarantino's Film

Another one from the same ARTIST : The Shaolin Afronauts it is 

Had to make it to the list..this one

Once you go jazz, you go jazz

And more

Think I will stop for the day.... Have the other stuff on my youtube favourite list :)

Breakfast that I cook and that my brother loves

Serves 1

The rustic name of this dish is "Taapu Egg". Well that was when we were kids and had no tact or skill in
food naming. Now that I have been a masterchef addict, it will be nice to add that touch. I could call this a "Deconstructed Omlette Sandwich with Basil and Garlic infusion" Or an "Upside Down Omlette Sandwich with stir fried shallots and garlic in tomato sauce"

2 Eggs

2 slices of bread

1/2 an onion finely chopped

1/2 a tomato diced

1 green chilly chopped

1 tsp hot and sweet tomato sauce

3-4 basil leaves finely chopped (can use parsley, coriander leaves, etc)

1 slice of garlic chilly cheddar cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

Heat a pan and pour 1/2 tbsp of oil. Add the chilly and the onions together and stir till onions are light pink. You could add the salt immediately after you put the onions in. It will help in frying the onions quickly. Add the tomatoes and stir it for 2 minutes. Add pepper to taste. Mix the ketchup too. You could add other herbs like oregano, rosemary, and so on. You could also add other veggies like bell pepper or potatoes. My brother doesn't like them too much, hence I avoid them. Spread the vegetables sufficiently on the slice of bread. Add cheese layer on top and sandwich it with the other slice of bread. Keep the sandwich aside.

Beat the eggs together in a bowl. Add salt and the basil leaves. You could add chilly flakes too, if you like it hot. Beat till fluffy.

Heat a flat pan and add 1/2 a tbsp of oil. Spread the egg batter on the pan. After 1 minute, place the sandwich on top of the omelette, gently. Fold the wet edges of the omelette onto the sandwich. The trick is to place it while its still wet as it will allow it to stick to the sandwich. Now turn the entire sandwich, with the egg, around, on the pan and let the bread base toast for a bit. And there, time to eat the special Taapu Egg.

Its quite filling and quite high on calories. You can tweak the whole thing to make it healthy :). Use 1 egg only or use just egg whites, dont use cheese, use brown bread and blaaa :). Thats about it.
