Rodriguez


I saw this documentary in a flight - Searching for Sugar Man.
A mysterious artist called 'Rodriguez' released 2 albums in the '70s in USA. Both although very good did not sell in the USA. But at the same time South Africa was undergoing a huge revolution against Apartheid where the songs echoed with the feeling of it's revolting population and the albums sold atleast half a million copies there. When no other album was released  rumors of suicide that the artist had committed in the most horrendous manner like 'set himself on fire' spread in SA.After the revolution was over a music journalist from SA went on a mission in search of this mysterious Artist and to his surprise and the other half million of South Africans' Sugar man (named after his most famous song) was still alive but completely oblivious to his fame in SA living a modest life of a construction worker in Detroit.

He then went to SA to perform over 30 jam packed concerts over a span of 5 years in SA.

Radio head

The famous 'Karma polic' got the fame it deserves , but if you often sit on a dark breezy night , with a cupa anything or a sutta or plainly your sweet solitude or a perfect companion , you might want to listen to this one...

Moby!!!!!

I know there are many sad songs in around..... but this one has a charm about it! .. ironic.. I know... But this reminds me of a dialogue by 'Agent' in The Matrix... ', as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.'...

The highway..

When the voices fade and only the strings and their symphony stay ...  I strive to stay awake gazing at the milky way .... but the winds so cool , the cars whooshing by... sing me a lullaby ..as I slowly fall asleep..... the yellow lights as they come and go... form a pattern so beautiful.. on my sleeping eye..
