Of Honey Coated Voices...

Ok, so I've been reading quite a lot on Amy Winehouse, and today curiousity killed my cat. I was expecting some more hippity hoppity stuff from a newcomer. Being a person who doesn't find anything to hip or hop about hiphop, not that there's no talent involved. It just doesn't get me grooving. And this time, boy was I in for a shock. I went to my current favourite music site ijigg. The moment I hit the play button, I was transported to a different place. The room around me just dissolved as her voice lulled me into a gentle stupor. Her voice is like the blast from past where voices conjured images of smoky clubs, belles in clingy black dress with plunging necklines, an old man in a tux hunched over a piano belting out sweet melodies and powerful whisky and honey-coated voices tantalising your senses as you unwind. The lyrics are playful, naughty and above all hummable. But don't take my word for it. Check her out. It's a pleasure to the senses.

Here's one of my favourite songs:

My Music - You Know I'm No Good

Here's more on Amy Winehouse

Anyone else But YOU...

So this is the song which concluded the movie Juno. Loved the innocence in the lyrics, strangely very poignant. If you have heard this song, you will have either been converted to a believer, may have made you smile and nod in rememberence of your loved one or crave for a soulmate exactly like this...I highly recommend the movie and the song to whoever hasn't seen or heard it. You will love the movie if you are sucker for smart humour.

Here I go again...

Hmmmmm.....So, yet another meaningless day passes by. Was up till late last night punching numbers for my latest report. A mind numbing experience, and the figures just ran into columns which ran into pages till my eyes literally started to cross and a gentle haze settled over my mind. The consequence? The next day, my brain completely shut down refusing to process anything leaving me all edgy, nervous, just waiting for a chance to dig my knife in someone's chest. I used to have a solution for stuff like this earlier. Blogging was one therapeutic experience, where I used to channelise all my nervous energy into my writings. As soon as my fingers used to hit the keyboard, the words just poured. By the end of the post, I used to be calm and had an amazing article ready to be posted. But, that requires certain kind of conditioning, certain kind of discipline, a level of comfort, to pour out your heart to something so disinterested. Difficult to redevelop, especially when you have someone whom you know will give you their complete attention, if you go to them instead of the blog. Hence the reluctantance to come back to my blog, testified by a long gap between my previous post and this one. But, come on, nobody should have to take this kind of "dumping" their entire lives. Anyway, I don't think its a very good idea to let your partner know you have the case of "crazies" before marriage too often. :-D. I should be able to tackle your emotional upheavels and burn-outs myself once in a while. That's what being independent is all about right? And blogging had such a positive outcome last time. I totally bowled over my soulmate with my earlier blog. So, bottom line, I am gonna give this one more chance...Last time I connected to my life partner through blogging...Another story, another time perhaps...Lets see where I land this time...;-)
