Here you can even speak broken Tamil but not acceptable to speak english to another Indian. Tupuvangeh. Same with the music and movies. Even literature is embraced here. Thirukural mahanadu is going to take place in June here. I will post on Malaysian Indian Music scene one of these days. Yep first time here - reason being one too many blogs to visit already, so have limited myself :ppp We have argued before???? Can't recall. Will come by :p Somehow it always bewilders me why Chennai is embarrassed to be Tamil. Here you can even speak broken Tamil but not acceptable to speak english to another Indian. Tupuvangeh.

Read a Hindu interview (that Take Two column i think) of him and Vasundhra Das where he said he was working on a Rap/Reggae album... Btw, my focus on these songs is on their danceability! I just wanted to look why ppl thumb their noses at them as opposed to a Mundian Bach Ke or a Gori Nalon, given that most of us don't have the vaguest idea of what the lyricist is coming up with. We go with the beats and these songs have the beats, Manmadha Raasa for example... I am gonna stop comments on this post temporarily.

Hate Manmadha Raasa. Like Kaasu Mela. Hate Oh Podu. Can tolerate gaanas from Vijay padams. Heck, I go one step further and actually enjoy it! Hate gaanas from any other films. Yet, certainly not a Vijay fan. But onnu... I used to pooh-pooh gaanas w/o even giving it a listen. Ippo I appreciate music for what it is. Aaargghh, sorry Anti. anyaayathukku kuzhambi poi kadakaen! :) naan unga post padichutu edho solla vandhaen, forgot what I wanted to!! Super description of the Oh Podu dance, btw!! :) Like Apadi Podu.

Kuthup paaattus down south are not respected as much as other equivalents, and that too, mostly by south indians themselves. A case of "Appreciation of the 'Other' genre rather than their own", i guess! somehow, i feel hard rock and metal music (which I dislike as much as Kuthu paattus, but thats personal liking) are also western versions of our dappanguthu with a little bit of cynicism and psychedelism poured in.. what i mean is they are not music for the sake of music. But with irrepressible zest to sing/dance/head-bang! What do u say? Urs, A-guy-with-two-left-feet Hi aNTi!
