When they crashland, they can also leave you sore. For some time now, A.R. Rahman has been on song. This time the song is on him. His anthem *`Jiyo, Utho, Badho, Jeeto*' takes all of four minutes and 16 seconds to expose you to the perils of skydiving without a parachute. But then, this is the anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth Games and, like many other things connected with this year's CWG, it happens to be just another kind of cruel sport. The idea of an anthem for sporting events is, it could be argued, to foreground a consistent theme as a focal point of the event and to unify the audiences with the adhesive of a familiar, infectious rhythm. In the present context of a CWG mired in debilitating controversy and hint of sleaze, a rousing anthem could have been the talisman to unlock some positive energy. But the present offering of India's own Mozart, which was launched with much fanfare on August 23, has left even the Group of Ministers unhappy. That must be the ultimate ignominy for a composerthat aesthetic cynicism of such crass proportions can even affect the GoM, although one suspects it was not so much the notations on the music sheet but those on the bill that did the damage. Even as Oscar hero Rahman was concatenating, at super-speed, his CWG jingle that jangles with some of the most pedestrian verses in recent times, he also fed in the punchy figure of some Rs 1.37 crore per minute of the song. Total: Rs 5.50 crore. In 2006, for the inaugural functions of the Frankfurt Book Fair, at which India was the `Guest of Honour Country', a proposal by music composer Ilaiyaraja to present a Carnatic raga using a 120-piece Western philharmonic orchestra was summarily rejected because of the price tag of Rs 95 lakh. But times have changed. The funny thing about Rahman's *Swagatham* number this time is that, after its recitative first part, with lines as stiff and strangulating as `*Junoon se, kanoon se, maidaan maar lo*', the second performative segment breaks into a beat that sounds like a rip-off of his own composition `*Ramta Jogi*' in the film *Taal*. Obviously, Rahman is now famous enough to plagiarise himself and even charge us for it. But the obvious question that needs to be asked is: why did he even try? Why did he not simply offer back the same `*Ramta Jogi*' as the anthem for the CWG? The song has all the right foot-tapping ingredients, including oblique references to playful charlatans that would have blended well with the CWG. Of course, Rahman's anthem cannot be disconnected with the overall plan for inaugural and closing ceremonies of the CWG. The fancy committee for the inaugural events has for a few months now been grappling with the logistics of how to present India in this highly televised event. It is a committee in search of a spectacle. The spectacle of a fake, make-believe India populated with Bollywood dancers and swirling silks, crooning divas and simpering starlets. The last time around, they were thinking of making a sound-and-light show using the sacred `Om'. It is an India that has no specific location on this planet and is far removed from not just the lives, but even the fantasies, of its own people. This is an India that is the pet project of its numerous, prospering robber barons, who are enabled, time and again,

Thanks for the email but We are not any over reacting.. If we walk across the streets of Delhi holding the placards and blocking the traffic, then you may call it over reaction. It is not about good reviews or bad reviews about ARR's song.. We have always been receptive to constructive criticism..in this cwg case it is not even about the composition.. it is okay if they dont like the song.. but they didnt stop there.. they lost control over themselves, thrown everywhere and went ahead commenting and questioning ARR's commitment.. Thats when they started go get under our skin. How are they talking about the money and the result? If they give ARR only a rupee, do they expect him to be committed worth only a rupee? And they kept commenting that ARR became overconfident after Oscars and Grammies and all..

Things can be either good, bad or average - and each one of us normally try to judge a song based on these three broad categories. I appreciate we are all ARR fans and would lay our lives for him if situation arise - but for a moment, think neutrally, think objectively. Its only a feedback, only a review about one of his several compositions. The reason media or politicians are vocal about it is because its an event of that level. I know at times, we all get too swayed , even emotionally in each of his works, and try to straighten things even for the smallest remark made for him. But do you not think, that for him, as true fans, we should be neutral, unbiased and honest in our review. I guess, this will be more appreciated by him rather than being too much overhelmed with everything he composes! The moot point is why are we taking everything to a very personal level, where the reviews are about the tracks and not about ARR, the person! I have been a die hard fan of him since Roja and have always been very patient and objective before jumping to conclusions. I heard this for many many times, in my own sweet time and it didn't click me, no big deal! Its not a bad song..just that I felt it didn;t fit the CWG ambience - CWG theme. I only want to request all of you not to make a big deal about it. Reviews will always be there - good or bad. If you liked it, well, good. If you didn't nothing is lost. I would rather be upfrontly honest then have two layers in my mind - just becos I have been a fan for many years? Same argument for all the reviews - we all start micro-analysing the reviewer, track down his history, his poor skills, and everything! I strongly believe (and have put this statment earlier too - that music and for that matter any form of art, is a subjective field. Someone will always like it and someone will always find it less beautiful. Its not a cricket match to either win or lose!

Its kind of interesting to see how things turned out in cwg case.. When the whole media is against CWG organization, It is ARR who came to their rescue, it is He who specially addressed the press meet supporting the CWG committe saying that they have been working hard..lot of hard work is going into it and be positive and be supportive to them. And now the CWG and the media itself is going against ARR accusing him of not giving a shakira material, about the money and went to such an extent questiioning ARR's commitment. Not showing gratitude is one thing but going after ARR calling him names is totally uncalled for.. How are they comparing soccer to these games?

'Swagatham', A R Rahman's anthem for the Commonwealth Games, has received anything but rapturous welcome. People who have heard it are cool, downloads are flat, music professionals are looking away even politicians are denouncing the song. The slow-paced number, sung by Rahman himself, has got everyone wondering whether this is what the Games deserves. Poll Why does the CWG anthem Swagatham not work for you? Slow-paced Lacks punch Style of Rahman is missing While everyone may wonder what went wrong, it's worth remembering that Rahman, for all his apparent Midas touch with melody, has had his share of duds. Unfortunately, the tune that the nation was looking forward to has turned out to be one of them. Some of the songs Rahman composed in his early years for Malayalam and Telugu films have remained unpopular. Fans who have grown used to the trademark Rahman style over the years have also complained the composer is repeating himself. Towering expectations of the man dubbed Mozart of Madras of repeating the legendary success of `Roja' in every film may have also led to a slump in quality in some soundtracks. I've heard better from Rahman, was the common sentiment on the streets when Jai Ho received international acclaim. Here, then, are Rahman's top 10 dud soundtracks from a musical career spanning almost 20 years songs that have either bombed at the charts or simply faded from memory for lack of fizz: 1. 'Swagatham': A nation, eagerly awaiting its own `Waka Waka' from its trusted composer, is bitterly disappointed at the outcome of the Commonwealth Games anthem. Critics call it a cacophony while fans find the punch missing. 2. 'Raavan': The music of Raavan is dark and appeals to specific audiences. One of the most anticipated films of 2010, Rahman brings in contemporary techno and marries it off to Punjabi folk creating tracks like `Thok de killi' that lack the hummability of `Behne de' or its staying power. 3. 'Fire': Rahman composed the background score for Deepa Mehta's Fire. It had the appeal of any Rahman classic but failed to leave a mark in India as the soundtrack was available only through mail order from a German company. 4. 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya': Rahman's Tamil album comes after a hiatus of two years and disappointed fans say the songs lack character. 5. 'Parasuram': Rahman tries to experiment with lyrics in `Jack and Jill' and the effect is disastrous. Fans trash the music of this 2003 starrer and `Dolna Dolna' is the only song that leaves a mark in an album that has songs sung by Hariharan. 6. 'Jeans': After a decade, `Ajooba' sang by Hariharan is the only Jeans soundtrack that sticks with audiences. Beautiful lyrics by Javed Akhtar and Hariharan's lilting vocals failed to move traditional Rahman fans looking for more than just instrumental fusions and contemporary background score. 7. 'Mr. Romeo': This Prabhu Deva starrer had

To divert the attention from other important things(incomplete venues etc etc) and make ARR and the song the scapegoat. After all, they are the easy targets you see.

Fans - Nothing new with these poor fellows...Some of them have genuine reasons for their dislike and others are still in 90's mode. They still refuse to believe that Rahman is a human being. They want Roja's and Thiruda Thiruda's all the time..and when Rahman gives them the album with 90's touch, they say that the song is outdated and Rahman has lost his touch... Just my opinion...not to hurt any one...

[arr] expectations
Been seeing so many emails expressing their disappointment on one or other recent arr albums.. that is perfectly alright but I am just trying to understand your expectations.. I have been with Arr's music for a good 2 decades if we include jingles and other misc work Arr has done for television.. Most of his compositions are masterpieces..right, but the thing about Arr's composition is that if not the whole song, at least there will always be something special about the composition at least in a bit here or there or pallavi or charanam or ..it might be just the way maestro uses the chorus or an instrument or weaving of an interlude or voice modulation or something. Such special sparks here and there are enough to give me enough pleasure to continue hearing and keep waiting for the next album. With respect to arr's efforts so far I never failed to see his sincerity, dedication and his craftsmanship in any of his works. Even though Arr is an absolute music wizard, I cannot possibly expect him to produce song after song to blew me away completely continuously. Actually after 18 years of creative output even today at least one or two songs in his every new release make me think that may be this is one of the arr's finest work.. felt so with yeh jo de hai tera, terebina, newyork, mausam and escape, dil ka rista, kwaja, kaise mujhe, animal spirits, puthiya manitha, plenty more.. Even in puli - which became a victim of many critics, arr surprised me with his creativity in ammathalle, his idea of mixing rap and melody in dochey and his expression in nammakam. Only wondering to know .. are Arr's recent compositions soo bad to you that you dont find even a single chorus piece or an instrument or anything that interest you? Isnt there anything special at all? How about try to point out what is that you liked and what is that you did not like. Doesnt it help Arr understand your expectations better than if we just say oh utter dissappointment, there is no soul no soup? I do not know about others but I am very happy with whatever He gives. By the way, whoever said that even many new composers can do a puthiya manitha, I have difficulty agreeing with that opinion.. but hay..you are welcome to express! Regards Raghu

To make matters worse, neither the organisers, nor AR Rahman, who has composed the theme song for the Games, gave out any details, barring a couple of words. I urge everyone to be patient and wait for at least 10 days, Rahman said. When members of the media insisted on more details, Rahman remained elusive, and spoke only in broad generalisation. I've been working on the song for the past six months it's energetic, and will get everyone hooked. We are still tweaking the lyrics and we want this song to go further than Waka Waka. Sounds good, Mr Rahman, but anything more concrete? Hardly. The song is simple but not simplistic. It talks about the spirit of winning and not giving up. It is mostly in Hindi, with some English lyrics. Interestingly, Waka Waka, the theme song for the soccer World Cup, was unveiled months before the event, so that the world could acquaint itself with the song. The anthem should've been out by July, rues Sukhmeet Kaur, a teacher. Rahman should understand the anxieties of the nation and stop procrastinating like this, says Priya Sharma, BPO employee.

I must admit. I didnt like it at the beginning. I felt as though most of the songs have fallen short of expectation. I was expecting to be blown out of my mind from sheer brilliance of the music. But what I got was songs that were at best brilliant at some point in bits and pieces. But, boy oh boy, I couldnt be more wrong. Many have spoken of ar rahman songs as slow poisons. I have also experienced it many times before. But this time, the effect is far more profound. I am now singing a different tune. I now feel that Endhiran is one of Ar Rahman most briliiant commercial compositions of all time. It must seem as though I am overly exaggerating. But this is how I honestly feel. Why the sudden change in opinion you may ask? Well, I dont know exactly why. Its as though my brain has started to finally tune in to the right frequency. Its as though I have finally come to a realization or an awakening to the genius. The Endhiran songs brilliance were revealed to me one layer at a time. Each song is a revelation. Every one of them. I am at loss for words. I cant seem to express my thoughts clearly in words but the music is brilliant guys. Music composed with the Super Star, The Robot element and Shankars grand vision in mind with plenty of magic all over. Melody, Groove, Rap, Techno all mixed into a concotion of such potent musical brilliace that Tamil music has never seen or heard before. I truly believe that many will come to experience the bliss of realization of the magic in Endhiran music once they are ready for it. Some realize it earlier and some will realize later. Everyone is different and will have to go through the process themselves to discover the magic. But without doubt, once the movie is released every one of us will be hooked to the songs. At the beginning, many would only hear the beats and noisy sounds. But slowly the melody will reveal itself to our senses. And the combination of melody and modern grooves will bring us to a new experience in tamil music. I cant only wonder what will happen when the movie comes out and we get to see the visuals together with the music. Cant wait for that moment. Keep listening guys. May the magic be revealed to you soon.

Subject: [arr] Phani Kalyan about AR Rahman KMMC To: arrahmanfans arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, August 11, 2010, 10:48 PM There are certain experiences in life that change you as a person and help you grow into a better individual. For me, these defining experiences happened during those years that I was a student of AR Rahmanâs KM Music Conservatory. As I look back on that journey that has evolved me into making music my life and profession I feel KMMC happened a little late in my life but I strongly feel it couldn't have come at a more right moment than this. I had a keen interest in music since childhood, listening along with my grandfather to his thousands of carnatic collections including M.Balamuralikrishna, Thyagaraja, Ramadas, and many Annamayya Keerthanas and instrumentals. I recall composing rough tunes for fun, even before I started learning music formally. But it wasnât until AR Rahman happened, that my passion for music grew beyond words. I became a devout fan of Rahman Sir ever since Bombay had released. I remember skipping my school continuously to go to the theatre where Bombay was being played just to listen to the music and the background scores. And with each of his releases after that, his music became a daily fuel for me. I had completed my Engineering degree in Chennai and was working a mundane software job. Of course, my body was there, but my ears, mind and thoughts were just tunes, melodies, rhythm and one man- AR Rahman. So when I heard news that Rahman Sir was going to open his own music school here in Chennai, which offers courses in western classical music, various areas of music technology, instruments, and vocals, I thought to myself, âIf I wanted to give my passion for music a chance to grow and give a chance to live my dream-job as a composer, THIS was it.â And what better opportunity to learn at an institution developed by a man who I worshipped and looked up to for so many years. So without hesitation I applied for an audition. Now I wasnât at all sure I would get in and did not even tell my family or anyone else about applying to the school. I thought to myself by auditioning I would at least catch a glimpse of the school and studio, and if lucky catch a glimpse of Rahman Sir. So I was super surprised and was just in utter disbelief when I got that call of acceptance and my family was even more shocked when I told them that I am going to resign my job and join KMMC. So here I was literally on cloud 9, about to begin a journey that I had only dreamt of all these years. In KMMC I took western classical vocals and composition as a major with a prior knowledge in carnatic vocals and keyboard. As soon as I entered the conservatory compound on the first day, I could just feel the aura of positive energy all around. The school had almost like a homely and soothing atmosphere with wooden floors and furniture, accented with warm curtains, large middle-eastern rugs, a beautiful grand piano and a picture of Rahman sir's father in the main reception area. More than this it was my fellow classmates from all corners of the world, and the amazing faculty that made those years the most memorable. Moreover, being part of KMMC I saw Rahman Sir in a whole different light, and my respect and devotion towards him grew to infinite lengths. During the first week he came and interacted with us in person and asked us our ambitions and goals. I still remember when I asked Sir at that time to hum a few lines of New York Nagaram, what he said in response will forever stay with me. He said. Guys don't stick only onto New York Nagaram, music is beyond the regular commercial cinema. Make your mark, aim at the moon..at least you will reach the stars .I was amazed at the fact that no matter how busy he was, he used to attend almost every student recital and concert that we used to have at KM. He used to listen to us patiently and give us suggestions, advice and clarifications on any doubts we had with so much patience. And in case he was unable to make it to an event, he used to send us a sorry note. I was just amazed that a man who is such a prominent society figure, a pioneer

Boy he has definitely enjoyed doing this song.

Oo maramanishi / pudhiya manitha is a clear winner.. grand, innovative; SPB is perfect and Khatija is equally soothing and innocent. Wonder why is SPB missing in hindi version. It is interesting to see how ARR switched the male and female tunes in charanam-1 to female and male tunes in charanam-2 of kilimanjaro. PS: If I dont see the name, I might mistake Khatija for Harini 15 years back. Regards Raghu

After a re-telling of the Mahabharata against a political backdrop in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti, cineastes can now feast their eyes on a modern-day rewrite of the Ramayana, against a cops-and-robbers canvas. Feast? Yes. The high point of Mani Ratnam's film is primarily its visual opulence. The film is literally a work of art where one luminescent frame follows another as the scenes keep shifting from one wet and rocky landscape to another misty mountainscape. You can't seem to get enough of the montages that leave you breathless with the excellent camera artistry by Santosh Sivan and Manikandan. From the opening sequences where Beera (Abhishek) smashes his boat into wide-eyed Aishwarya's canoe, to the fleeing, flinging, fulminating visage of Aishwarya, captured against wild waterfalls, turbulent tidal rivers, crumbling trees and silken drizzle, the film is a string of breath taking images. So much so, you seem to forget -- and almost forgive -- the fact that the first half hardly has any story. It is essentially just one prolonged chase, where cop Dev (Vikram) relentlessly pursues criminal Beera (Abhishek Bachchan) in order to rescue his wife (Ragini) and book the fugitive who garners great local support. -- Best Readers' Reviews Vikram performance is real gud unless somebody's voluntary opinion about his acting skills...Read morehttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Raavan/moviereview/6058139.cms swamilion Mumbai 17 Jun, 2010 2333hrs IST» MORE READER REVIEWShttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/mvopinions/6058139.cms YOU CAN NOW SMS YOUR REVIEWS TO 5http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Raavan/moviereview/6058139.cms#sms5 The paper-thin plot in the first half, does get you somewhat restless, despite a seminal scene where Sita-esque Aishwarya suddenly discovers a strange new emotion for a Raavan-esque Abhishek. After having labelled him beastly and brutish, a complete low-life when compared to her devta-like husband Dev, she finds herself being involuntarily drawn towards her kidnapper, despite his muddy visage and his gory past. And herein lies the second hook that draws you to the film: it's revisionist tale of a Sita-like heroine flipping for a Raavan-like anti-hero, even as the traditional hero gets imbued in grey tones The anti-hero has always remained an alluring figure in cinema lore and Mani Ratnam carries his charisma forward with Raavan. The second half of the film does get a semblance of story, with adequate twists and turns which reflect the Surpanakha legend (again revised), the Hanuman-Sita encounter, the Agni

He wants to capture the local outlaw, Beera (Abhishek Bachchan) who may be a Robin Hood for the tribals around, nevertheless, he is a law breaker. More importantly, he has kidnapped the cop's beautiful wife, Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) to avenge a personal grouse and has escaped into the dense jungles. Turn ofevents: the kidnapper falls in love with his trophy victim who too gets indecisive about where her loyalties lie Movie Review: The epics return again to contemporary cinema. After a re-telling of the Mahabharata against a political backdrop in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti, cineastes can now feast their eyes on a modern-day rewrite of the Ramayana, against a cops-and-robbers canvas. Feast? Yes. The high point of Mani Ratnam's film is primarily its visual opulence. The film is literally a work of art where one luminescent frame follows another as the scenes keep shifting from one wet and rocky landscape to another misty mountainscape. You can't seem to get enough of the montages that leave you breathless with the excellent camera artistry by Santosh Sivan and Manikandan. From the opening sequences where Beera (Abhishek) smashes his boat into wide-eyed Aishwarya's canoe, to the fleeing, flinging, fulminating visage of Aishwarya, captured against wild waterfalls, turbulent tidal rivers, crumbling trees and silken drizzle, the film is a string of breath taking images. So much so, you seem to forget -- and almost forgive -- the fact that the first half hardly has any story. It is essentially just one prolonged chase, where cop Dev (Vikram) relentlessly pursues criminal Beera (Abhishek Bachchan) in order to rescue his wife (Ragini) and book the fugitive who garners great local support. -- Best Readers' Reviews Vikram performance is real gud unless somebody's voluntary opinion about his acting skills...Read morehttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Raavan/moviereview/6058139.cms swamilion Mumbai 17 Jun, 2010 2333hrs IST» MORE READER REVIEWShttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/mvopinions/6058139.cms YOU CAN NOW SMS YOUR REVIEWS TO 5http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Raavan/moviereview/6058139.cms#sms5 The paper-thin plot in the first half, does get you somewhat restless, despite a seminal scene where Sita-esque Aishwarya suddenly discovers a strange new emotion for a Raavan-esque Abhishek. After having labelled him beastly and brutish, a complete low-life when compared to her devta-like husband Dev, she finds herself being involuntarily drawn towards her kidnapper, despite his muddy visage and his gory past. And herein lies the second hook that draws you to the film: it's revisionist tale of a Sita-like heroine flipping for a Raavan-like anti-hero, even as the traditional hero gets imbued in grey tones The anti-hero has always remained an alluring figure in cinema lore and Mani Ratnam carries his charisma forward with Raavan. The second half of the film does get a semblance of story, with adequate twists and turns which reflect the Surpanakha legend (again revised), the Hanuman-Sita encounter, the Agni-pariksha demand (re-interpreted again as a polygraph test) and the film moves from sheer visual to visceral too. There are enough punches in the second half to keep the momentum going, but by and large, the film scores mostly on

[arr] To whoever is planning to attend Jai Ho tour.
Those of you planning to attend this Jai Ho tour in any venue.. Just want to hint you that the whole setup - the arrangement of stage, projection, slides, gantry, ramp are such that the experience is maximum for straight viewers. One does not have to buy an expensive ticket but whatever it is, try to find as straight view as possible. This show is unlike other regular shows - distance is not a problem, angle will be and is; you can still enjoy from the side seats but at a compromized level.. I was at 45 degrees and did not even realize what have I missed till I came home and looked at some of the pictures online and felt depressed. I am not comfortable with the idea of somebody thinking about the show as average just because of the seats. But ofcourse we all know that ARR is about sound.

Love ARR Raghu On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 10:55 AM, Siddiq Rahman graphicsn...@yahoo.comwrote: My family keeps me creatively charged: Rahman Composer A.R. Rahman plans to be out of India for the longest period for a series of world concerts and says he is not thinking about any other work for the next few months. “It’s a very tough schedule for me this year. I’ll be out of the country for five months, which I’ve kept aside completely for the word tour,” Rahman told *IANS*. The concerts will take Rahman to places he has never been before. “I essentially need time for my music, spirituality and family. Everything else is secondary. We’ll be going to remote places in Europe, the Far East and America. I’ll be touring from this month (March 2010). This would be my longest tour ever and I’m not thinking of any other work,” said the composer. Rahman admits time management is a problem. “But you have to prioritise your time and do what you must. For example, I know I’ve to be away for five months this year. So it’d be foolish of me to commit myself to anything until I finish my concerts.” Rahman says it’s a blessing to work out of his home. “My family is always around me. I think that’s what keeps me creatively charged. When I travel, I crave to return. My kids are growing up. It’s important that they see their father regularly. Or they’ll soon start calling me uncle.” Rahman has just done a soundtrack for a Tamil film directed by Gautam Menon. “Then I’ve Mani Ratnam’s *Raavan* and Abbas Tyrewala’s *1-800-Love* Also Shekhar Kapoor’s *Paani*, which is a very important film. But with the world tour on, will I have the time?” Clarifying doubts about his age, he said: “I was born in 1967, so it’s my 43rd birthday (in January this year). I am an old man now. Do I feel older? It’s a good feeling. I’m heading towards the place where all of us are destined to. You are born and then one day you die. So my policy in life is to do what I want to do today, not tomorrow. If I want to do good things in life I better do them now.” http://beta.thehindu.com/arts/music/article257408.ece

[arr] Three weeks for VTV to sink in
Sighh. Finally VTV has got into me, it has got into my blood, sleep, dream, breathe everything. The first time I heard it, I was like WTH is this, but I have always liked ARR stuff that I hate initially as I tend to love it later on. I just dont go on listening to it if I dont like, here is what I do. 1) Listen initially for a couple of times, since most of the stuff is so new, especially the structuring nothing comes to my lips. 2) Stop listening for a few days and then unknowingly I will start humming something from the album. 3) So I go back to CD and listen again. At this point something registers in mind and I start humming a few bits and pieces again. thats it, I just repeat the step1 to step3 and it gets into me full time. Love ARR Raghu

Taking that case, I have continuously listened to that songs for more than 6 months [Even after the release of some other AR's album], and didn't get carried away or get bored. As days passed by modern technologies such as iPods came in a normal play count for a song of VTV is more than 300 per track.

However,the general perception in audiophile circles is that BOSE is a overpriced toy.By the way, any noise cancellation is deemed highly distortive(because the artificial noise cancellation interferes with the original frequencies).In any case, the point is that for the price you pay for BOSE you are likely to find much better sounding headphones than the Goliath.Also BOSE is not the pinnacle of sound reproduction as the myth surrounding it around here suggests.Ask a good DJ and you will know. To the more important point, This dossier is a good starting point for people looking at headphones. Less than 2000: buy Koss KSC75(better than QC3). For 5k to 12-15k try Grados SR series,medium priced Shures , Audio Technica wooden series etc. For more expensive ones under 25 k try HD595 600 650.Denons,bayer dynamics,ultimate ears or shure(for in ear). under 30K-50k you can get grados GS/HP series or ultrasone.Ofcourse you will enter STAX/Sony RS1 here and go on till 3 lakhs in STAX. But for the best headphones like the HDs or grados amplifiers are a must.All headphones worth more than 15 k are just as good as the Music you listen to.The best headphones needs the best amps and the best source to create the best music. For senheissers i would suggest you little dot or dark voice amplifiers.If money is not a constraint look at stuff like zana deux.

Re: [arr] T.L. Maharajan on ARR- A great story!
Thanx for sharing buddy.Love ArrRaghu- Original Message From: mmparthi2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.comSent: Sunday, 30 April, 2006 8:25:13 PMSubject: [arr] T.L. Maharajan on ARR- A great story! Hey guysI was watching the Raagamaalika show on Jaya Tv and the judge for today was T.L Maharajan (Not sure of the initials).Anyways for the second round there is a duet round. So one of the singers chose the song "Nee Kattum Selai Madipilai" from Pudiya Mannargal. This song was originally sung by T.L Maharajan(TLM) himselfand Sujatha.So after the song was sung he mentioned an incident he will never forget in his life regarding this song. This is how it goes: After he sang this song for Rahman and after leaving the recording studio he felt that this song wasnt challenging at all and thought well why did Rahman give such an easy and not very exciting song to him. Maybe he didnt like him or something. And he felt a bit dissapointed. Then later after the movie and songs were released and all, Maharajan had a show in Singapore. So while in singapore one day he just had his lunch or somethgin and thought of going for a walk on the streets. While walking, there was a Barrota(Paratha) shop and the guy who was making the Barotha was hitting the dough on the surface for a tune. For every beat on the song that was playing this guy was hitting the dough on the surface. So TLM was bit curious to knwo what this song was and why is it so special that this guy whos making the Barotha is enjoying himself and forgetting the wholeworld around him simply listening to this song. When he went closer he realised that this was his very own song he sang and disliked which was "Nee Kattum Selai Madipilai". He was simply amazed and he went and asked the person do u like this song and all and the person had said:"this is the most amazing song of the year and a big hit and when I listen to this song I simply forget my self and my sorrows and I could make loads of Barothas without knowing that I am getting tired.. Its simply a Classic!" He said he couldnt beleive what he was hearing and finally he told the Barotha making person that he had sung this song and eventually got free Barotha and a big respect from the people in that shop. And he said I am always thankful for Rahman for givinghim such an incredible song and showcased his talent for the younger generation. And this incident is an evergreen memory in his mind! Isnt this simply amazing guys! When I heard this story I was like wow! This one of those stories you hear from your Grandparents which make an everalsting effect on you. Thats how this felt.

[arr] Vishal-Shekhar mention ARR in their interview
Also not many might remember that Allah Ke Bande was composed by you all. It is still remembered as a Kailash Kher song. Vishal: Well you have to understand it that Allah Ke Bande is primarily a Kailash Kher song. He put a lot of soul in that song. We composed it and he put a lot of emotions in it. Shekhar: A.R.Rahman appreciated Allah Ke Bande. Now that is a big thing for us of course. Who are your favorite Indian directors and singers? Vishal Shekhar: Sunidhi Chauhan rocks! Shaan, Kay Kay, Sonu, Sukhwinder Singh, Richa Sharma, Javed Ali, Amit Kumar, Shreya Ghoshal, Shankar Mahadevan and of course A.R.Rahman in terms of his singing and music! We feel so good about working with such talent. Also Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra. We worked with Bappida as well. What a legend! http://www.indiafm.com/features/2006/04/21/1164/index.htmlLove ARRRaghu Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

Re: [arr] RDB BGM - my thoughts
Hi, I too agree, Swadesh is ARR's best bgm effort till date. Even to some extent I love Yuva. But swadesh is my all time favourite. The use of indian instruments in Swadesh was exceptional. I still get goose bumps when I listen to Swadesh BGM's.Raghu- Original Message From: Ajit [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.comSent: Tuesday, 4 April, 2006 11:35:14 PMSubject: [arr] RDB BGM - my thoughts Thanks a lot AJ. Your efforts are really appreciated. Where else could we get this??? Nowhere but here and thanks to members like you, we are privaleged. However, I agree with Vishwsant that this score did not impress me a whole lot. There are bits and pieces in this score that are just brilliant, but overall, it's a bit too hollywoodish. Swades' BGM was more spiritual and more Indian sounding, as well as more diverse. There is a lack of ethnic flavor in this score. But, this is just an observation of the score by itself. Without a doubt, with the movie, this score is absolutely perfect and enhances each situation in the movie incredibly..the best BGM score since Swades. Thanks a ton AJ. As always perfect work!But about the score, I heard all the pieces and IMHO it is not half as good as Swades's score. Maybe it blends with the movie very well, but when hearing audio only, no competition with Swades's score! NopeBTW, Later part of The Kakori Robbery reminds me so much of Thiruda Thiruda theme music! AJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey, Sorry for being away for such a long time but lots of projects were happening to me in the last months. But anyway, I got my RDB DVD last week and I realized again that ARR's contribution in the movie is absolutely mindblowing! His music plays an important and integral part of the film and without it wouldn't have the impact we all had watching this piece of masterwork. This underlines again what I believe that ARR is a director's composer or probably even more than that. In this case I guess that he might even has topped Rakesh Om Prakash's visions of music for RDB. In my eyes it has even topped ARR's score in Swades!

Re: [arr] asha bhonsale and rd burman
Well said Roshan. I think we should ignore such topics.Raghu- Original Message From: Roshan [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.comSent: Wednesday, 5 April, 2006 10:05:09 PMSubject: Re: [arr] asha bhonsale and rd burman I completely agree with vishwesh. there is no way Asha Bhonsle saying anything bad about new generation MDs or trying to "Advertise RD Burman" (what a ridiculous word to use) come on, do u really think someone like rd burman needs to be advertised to get popularity?? And another thing is, bashing Himesh reshammaiyya and asha bhonsle or hailing about Nadeem sravan's melodies are not what most of we fans would like to see in the groups. neither any comparison charts of AR Rahman and haris jayraj or what ever. instead of these senseless topics why not we talk something about the music of AR Rahman, which is what this group is really meant to be. Now i would like to list down some of the senseless topics happened recently. 1. Haris jayraj vs. ar rahman there were many topics of this kind. some saying haris is better some saying yuvan is better, .. and none were talking about ar rahman's music. 2. Nadeem sravan.. welll that one was all the way from afghanisthan.. was the funniest post i have ever read in this forum. the guy had no idea what he was talking about. and lot of ppl including me tried to bark at him (WAste of time) 3. ar rahman copies this thing is still happening at a random basis. and every time someone posts something like we all start to talk some sense to them. but all those efforts, eventually will be a waste of time. 4. bashing others what did Himesh reshmaiya or asha bhonsle do to AR Rahman for us to criticise them like this. Himesh reshmaiya might not be a good MD or he might have a nasal accent, but he only expressed his love for the music of ar rahman and instead of accepting the honestly, we all started bashing him. and now, Asha bhonsle, this is ridiculous thing saying such bad things about a great singer without any facts in it. 5. replying to all these above said posts well thats what i am doing. in fact these senseless threads are to be ignored but couldnt help. so few of us starts to reply to the threads of these kind to waste the time. no offense to anyone. i respect the right of expressing ur openion. but, by posting these kind of threads, it is degrading the quality of a wonderful group. thanks for reading regards Roshan __ Yahoo!

[arr] Vishal of [Vishal-Shekar] talks abt ARR
In fact if we look at last few years or so, composers like you and Shekhar, Pritam and Salim-Sulaiman are giving a new sound of music to Bollywood on a consistent note.God is great and is defining what we do. Look at the kind of work that A.R.Rehman is doing. Now that's the dream we have. You want to be the one who should be setting the trend. I know it is pretty ambitious but this is what we aspire to do.http://www.indiafm.com/features/2006/02/20/1029/index.htmlRaghu Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!. Enter now.
