They release the EP any time now... Am eagerly waiting for that!

I'm having a headache! Its 5 in the mornin! I should get some sleep! But I was trying to get some sleep, but I just cant! Cuz I've all these thoughts and I have to let it out somewhere!! So here I am, typing my thoughts out in this shit that u people call a word processor! Anyway...

I dont like talking to people! You can call me unsocial! I dont talk to people, cuz I cant think of anything to talk about! Everything that I care about, no one gives any hoot about! So there's hardly anything common between me and the next person, to talk about!

I can discuss my music with people 24/7 and I would never get tired of that! I'm also an Open Source stupid! But I am obsessed with the term and the freedom it offers and the philosophy behind it! I'd just love to sit down next to an Open Source geek, listen to him talk about it 24/7 and wouldnt get bored!

What actually sucks is I hardly kno anyone, who cares to talk either bout music or Open Source, around! And thats what makes me unsocial and a loner! And what aides to the situation is I believe I'm also bipolar! Sometimes I'm so confused, that I cant even understand why the fuck I'm still living!

I'm so much screwed and fucked up right now that I dunno what I should do! Its all majorly due to the blunders I had made during the last five years! But its cuz of the blunders I made, is why the person who I am right now! And to be honest I really wouldnt wanna change meself into anything else (even tho that might be the easy way out)! I love my obsessions! And to a certain point I feel I'm blessed cuz of that! But again it comes back to the point, that right now I'm at the middle of nowhere!

I'm currently living with 3 people who might just be the ones who care the most about me, and are always concerned! But then I'm not really sure how much do they understand me! And I think the fault is at my end! Sis tells me, I should be more open, like go out and make friends and all that! The problem is I never find anyone interesting to talk to for more than a moment!

So at the end of the day, its always the same old story! I've my music and the computer! The computer that I use only to type my thoughts out, listen to my music and screw around with open source software even tho I'm Open Source stupid! I try my best to learn tho!

The only thing I wish is, if only I had discovered my obsessions 5 years ago, then I could have followed some precise path, so today I wouldnt have been in the middle of nowhere! Now to myself I'm making sense right now! But anyone who might be reading this shit is obviously clueless of what the fuck I'm talking bout! But there you go... thats me and I'm hard to understand and probably thats why I'm a loner! And I like being the way I am!

Sis says at the end of the day you gotta act mature and buy ur living! So like it or not, u gotta put up with the shit and move on and maybe five years or so from now you would achieve what ur lookin for! Problem is I dont have that much patience! Sis is really smart and she's always right! Bro's the one who's awfully talented! Still sis would say I was the one who was probably intelligent and showed a lot of promise (or some shit like that) but never had a focus (still dont) cuz I get bored of everything too soon!

Does it make sense? I mean at the end of the day it pays more to be either smart or dumb and ordinary! I think somehow I'm none of those and thats why I'm in the middle of nowhere!

I'm always like... “Could I care any less about 'it'?” Its like I'm so detached from every shit, that its like I'm living in a dream world of my own! Sis says I need to get outta that, and get used to reality! Why is that? I dont want to!

I'm so fuckin tired and bored of my job, my life and everything around that I could kill myself! But its just those certain obsessions that I have I fuckin love my life! And thats why I'm in the middle of nowhere! Oh well... what the fuck?

P.S.--> I dunno why, and I'm not yet motivated to fix it... since my views on life are mostly unprintable.

I do write whenever I have to let it all out, if u kno what I mean. But I dont get the time to post! This specific one was written like a month ago, you can guess by the content! And I would like to say Hey Zen, Pompy, Blues, Athena and anybody and everybody who comes here... and how's life treatin you all?... And I would call u Athena over the weekend, write to Pompy and Zen soon and do my share of spamming in Blue's site aswell... Zen! Aussie PF is a smash hit... I did listen to some of their songs available for dl in their site a coupla months ago, the url for which Robin gave me... couldn't dl cuz I dont have net conn at home!! Anyway till then...

Fleetwood and Stevie! Stevie and Fleetwood! Huh? Boss Stevie Nicks was one of the band members of Fleetwood Mac, this band that made really big in the 70s with Rumors! Rumors was amazing wasn't it? I love my Rumors! I miss my Rumors! So Ima have to do with the Greatest Hits shit!

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman,
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

Rhiannon! Stevie Nicks is somethin, isnt she? She's one of those very few people for whom the statement-- “Pretty faces are dumb”-- dont apply!! I mean she's so beautiful, its kinda like that look in her eyes that makes me go crazy! And then her voice... can I ever get enough of it? There's just so much feelin in it!

People mostly criticize reunion concerts. I mostly do too! I mean its exactly like Roger puts it----its not as much becuz of the brotherly love and the fans, as much it is becuz of the money! Well thats Roger Waters for us, who just doesnt care how his remarks would be taken as! He'd say what he feels like and what he thinks is true!

But then Fleetwood Mac were always an on and off group. They never completely disbanded, did they? I've this one live album of their's, which is also my first Mac album, called “The Dance”. And in words put simple it's -- kick ass!

I've heard a lot about the original Mac member Peter Green! Unfortunately I've never heard any of his stuff. He's s'posed to be one of those guys who got crazier as years went by, another genius gone waste! I think one of the toughest things in this world is to stay sane throughout! Or is is that these geniuses are just too sane for us to get them, and conclude they are crazily insane! Like Don would put it....

And now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now

Would they? I'm not so sure! Anyhow it's just when one of these crazy lonely times, your mind just tends to drift towards these geniuses, trying to dig what is almost un-diggable and ur just so fuckin lost that its not even funny!

Anyway so Peter Green was gone! And the Mac that we all kno now was made popular by Mick, Lindsay, Stevie, Caroline and John! All of whom are rather amazingly talented!! Ok and then all of a sudden the tape is over and u dunno what to say anymore.

I love Britpop bands! Blur and Song2! Song2 and Blur! I dont have the new Blur album! I want it! Their guitarist have quit them and now they are a trio! It sucks how people get over people around them so soon! Anyway guess what? They start playing Song2!!!

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
NO

When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you

Fuck this song gets over in like a minute or so. Anyway I am not in a mood to rewind! But u know what.... it feels so good to finally dig out all ur old tapes and listen to them one after the other!! Its been such a long time since I've got some time for myself to just sit down and listen to some good old music! I seriously dont like being surrounded by too many people, when u have hardly anything to talk about! I just cant have my peace!

Friday was fun I guess... boozed all afternoon with Bal and Suchos! We had our lunch around 3, and we're sitting in the terrace smokin... and then all of a sudden I found hours have passed and I'd been ranting bout Floyd and Roger's songs to Suchos and she was actually patiently listening!! lol must have been thinking to herself... “would u shut it already!”... We didnt kno when Bal disappeared and found himself inside sleepin quite peacefully!

Went to TC (I forgot what it stands for, sorry!) with Athena and her hubby! They are fun to be with!! And TC plays kinda good music!! But still nothin beats live music played by local cover bands, and I wish they could arrange some of the local bands! I dunno how smoke and beer shits me up, cuz it happened for the second time and I wasn't feelin ok, and I had to go outside and throw up!

Went to this guy's place called Bodhi! OMG being a bachelor could be whole lotta kick ass! He's lotsa cool cool music, and I want those! He's talking bout F1 racing and all that. I hardly knew any shit bout that, but it was interestin to listen to him!

Blur is still rockin! I cant quit you baby!

So howz the nu look? I’s tired of the 800 x 600 screen resolutions, so officially switching to the 1024 x 768 pixels! I apologize if anyone’s monitor don’t support it! I dunno why ripway kicked me out! It used to host my site’s pictures. But one fine day I found out, my page looked too ugly for me to care, cuz ripway kicked me out!

Was being rather lazy to do something bout it! Anyway, made this header image! I like it! On the left it’s Juan and his guitar... busy doin a trick with the tremolo! Juan would be this dude who plays lead guitar for 'Sweet Little Sisters', Silvi’s band! I haven’t talked to Silvi for a long time, I thought it was bout time they were to release their debut album!

Talkin bout tremolos and all that... a while back I saw the Van Halen video of Eruption, a Live performence! Fuck man, Eddie is like super human or some shit I tell you!! Some say he changed rock-guitar than most did, and when u see stuff like Eruption, you simply gotta agree!! The live version was even more deadlier than the original studio one -- lengthy and wild!! I for one cant get enough of his right hand finger tapping technique! Lots of people have copied that technique ever since he started on with it. But its been 25 years and no one does it even half as good as Eddie!

I read somewhere the Eruption was not somethin that Eddie ever composed, he and his brother Alex were just warming up before the studio sessions and the producer just recorded it, and found it so fantastic that he had to release it! Thanks to the producer, other wise we would have never heard an 'Eruption'! Isnt it funny as teenagers Alex wanted to be the guitarist and Eddie a drummer! Ed had a paper route to pay for his drum set, so while he was out delivering them, Alex would play his drums. Eventually Alex's talents surpassed Eddie's, so he started playing Alex's guitar!

Anyway back to my headder image, on the right ugly young Roger Waters looks quite a hunk! Lol @ Nicky Mason! Oh guess what Floyd’s 9 part 1975 classic ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ has been ranked 4th in Mojo Magazine’s "100 Epic Rock Tracks". Here’s the list… (and she would go bonkers when she reads the #1 ranked song)….

1. Bohemian Rhapsody ~ Queen                         ...how bout that Pompy?
2. Stairway to Heaven ~ Led Zeppelin
3. Sympathy for the Devil ~ Rolling Stones
4. Shine on You Crazy Diamond ~ Pink Floyd
5. The End ~ The Doors

Here’s what they say bout Shine On, “driven by a four-note guitar figure as exciting as it is simple.” Shine on Rog, Nicky, Davey and Ricky! Like I never said them 4 kicked major butt!

Ok I might just be quitting my job one of these days or maybe next month! It’s too fuckin dull for me! Otherwise life is pretty much fucked up! I wish I was like Keith Richards! That man sure has some nerves to always go like, “It’s good to be here, its good to be anywhere!” Rockers kick butt! I wish I was like them!

This last time went to Planet M, they had some offer on certain albums, that if u buy one cassette, they'd give ya a surprize CD! Guess what I got... SUMMER HITS 1999!! Yay, I tell u all the hip people listen to this shit, so 'tis gonna make me hip aswell... yay!! lol as if I was expecting someshit thats not as happenin, need I say like Frank Zappa!! Man I see these imported Zappa CDs around for ages now, and each comes for 600 bucks, way too expensive for me! They have some 10-15 of his stuff, which even includes 'Freak Out'! How I want those!! Cant they sell tapes? All I do is pick those up, imagine those are mine and put them back!! lmao! How lame am I?

Man I type like a pro typist! I’m proud of meself! My hotmail’s filling up! I still have no net conn! Me and bro’s gonna be movin to Gaziabad pretty soon, so I don’t wanna waste some 800 bucks over some narrowband conn. I hear Sify Broadband comes for 400 bucks for 40 hours! That’s like cheaper than phone bill! Ima get that!

Since Hotamail was full, I was deleating all the mails that I could, and I found a mail from my favorite cousin who lives in Hydrabad which was mailed to me 13th of Feb, and I read it, like one and a half months later. I did reply as soon as I read it! I still have to reply to too many people, which majorly includes my favorite girl! And also Robin! I miss talking to Robin! The other day (bout 2 weeks ago), she worte to me askin where the fuck I been hiding! I aint hiding! I just haven’t got any time to do anythin interesting! Work sucks! I should learn something like Web designing or some shit like that, and do something cool!

In a year from now Ima sit for RHCE! Tho I’m very much tempted to sit for it right now, but I’m sure Ima flunk it! That reminds me I still have to install the PCQ Linux shit, and my CD ROM Drive stinks so it don’t read any shit! I’ve to get a writer or some fuck like that soon!

I could also do with a larger hard disk (need I say like 120 GB). I’m not a gamer or anything, I just like playing around with different flavors of GNU/Linux Operating Systems! Plus I would like to load all my music to my puter so that I can listen to whateva I like!! Peace out!

P.S. --> Many of the earlier posts are not compatible with this screen resolution and the new font colors. If someday I have nothin better to do, I would go back and edit those to perfection! Either ways I dunno when I'd post this shit!!

P.P.S. --> Ok I'm still here! I hadn't read michelle for so long that I didnt even have a clue what she might have been upto! I read this post with the subject ... 'Things you can do to unintentionally hurt yourself:' and there one of the things that's listed is..."Slide the access card through the slot, open the door & then walk in. Sliding your access card & then trying to walk in before opening the door doesn't work for anyone with a body. Last time you checked- you were all there, well atleast physically. Go ahead, try the process again, slower this time around." ... That just cracked me up so bad, that everyone around started lookin at me like I'm crazy or somethin! michelle is kick ass, isnt she?

P.P.P.S. --> You should always refer to michelle with a lower case 'm', not an upper case 'M'... Its in the rules, abide by it!

P.P.P.P.S. --> I'm sorry but this post was even more hilarious with a concluding line that goes like ... 'what girl wants non-stick, scratch-proof nails when she has a chance to sport real diamonds on them instead?' And one more thing... Celebrating Women's Day is stupid!

I was goin thru the Roger Waters Online and they have really updated this site with some real amazing stuff! Anyway this is a real cool picture...

And this would be the scan of an article bout 'The pros and cons of hitch hiking' tour which included Eric Clapton...

I might come back and comment on the article later. For the time being anyone who agrees or disagrees with the article can leave his/her comments. Anyway its time for me to say peace out I guess! See ya guys laterer!!

"DARK SIDE" BOOK COMING IN 2004

Ashgate Publishing will publish a book devoted to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album in 2004.

"Speak to Me: The Legacy of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon" will contain 14 essays, three interviews and a 50-page annotated bibliography.

Literary and music scholars from across the globe will contribute the essays, all analyzing the 1973 album. "Floydian Slip" host Craig Bailey has written the preface to the book.

The book, part of Ashgate's Popular and Folk Music Series will be edited by Russell Reising, a professor of English at the University of Toledo (Ohio) and editor of Ashgate's "Every Sound There Is: The Beatles' Revolver and the Transformation of Rock and Roll" (2002).

"This is the second of a series of books I'm doing on what I call 'seminal statements of the rock era,'" explains Reising. "My goal is to assemble collections of essays on albums that were pivotal both in the careers of their performers and in the history of rock. To me, these are albums that help define their own eras and have remained powerful forces in the lives of their fans.

"As a group, we come from different disciplines and perspectives, ranging from literary and cultural studies to musicology to neurology," Reising says of his contributors. "Many of the contributors are themselves performers, so that also boosts the ways in which they are engaged with the material."

The books contains three interviews -- with "Dark Side" vocalist Clare Torry; Mike Gordon of Phish, who have performed "Dark Side" live; and Michael Goldwasser of Easy Star Records, producer of "Dub Side of the Moon," a reggae interpretation of the album released in 2003.

Ashgate Publishing is a U.K.-based publisher of academic research in the social sciences and humanities.

"Speak to Me" will be available at retail outlets such as Borders, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. The book is expected to be published in late 2004. No firm date has been set.

Reising's next book will be called "The Jimi Hendrix Apocalypse: Electric Ladyland and the Universes of Music."

Terrapin was a fan mag of Syd Barrett in the 70's, the people involved were some of the best known names in the Pink Floyd / Syd Barrett Circle. Here are all 18 issues and the x-mas issue zipped in one file.

Here is the one zip for another fanzine called The Anderson Council. This one is only 1.2mb.

I'm tired of asking people to close all windows and come back to the screen where we have all the icons. Isnt that obvious enough? Why do I have to ask them the same things over and over again?

While i'm still not tired of my music! How long has it been since? How long has it been since I'm addicted? And would I ever get tired of him?

Nope! I guess never!! I was reading Blues... I've been reading him for ages now!! There's somethin about him that just inspires me to keep goin on! I dunno what it is... but somehow u meet one of these people online, and all of a sudden u find that u can connect more to them than anyone around u, whom u might have known for ages!!

I miss Cher (limpid green) like hell!! I dunno where she is and what the hell she's upto!! She was like my only friend, when I had none and she's a lot like me!! And now and again I just wanna write to her but she dont use her cs.com a/c anymore! And I wonder where the hell she's dissapeared... I so hope they didnt send her back into a rehab once again! But it's the only flash I keep havin in my mind! Someone pls tell me I'm all wrong! All I want her is to be happy and carefree... Cant life grant her that atleast for once?

When ever I am dead tired I open up my old emails that I have saved in me PC... from my favorite girl, Gorana!! She's just one of the most special persons in my life! And eversince she got into college a year and a half ago... she can only write to me when she comes home for the holidays and, ....updates me with everythin thats been goin on! Shall we ever meet? I keep hopin for the day!

My only 2 friends here... from school... Bal and Suchos have decided to take a break from their relationship! I dont like it!! I always thought they were like the coolest couple around... with no shits attached!! And one fine day... they come with some shit like... 'its not workin out anymore!"... What the fuck?

Life is a shitty little bitch and at the end of the day... all u have is Roger Waters and Syd Barrett and their Pink Floyd! Atleast I would always have them to rely on!
