Feel Good Inc.

Song : Feel Good Inc.
Artist : Gorillaz
Album : Demon Days


Windmill Windmill for the land...
Turn forever hand in hand

I heard this song while flipping through TV channels on some random advertisement and I thought it was kind of cheesy. Didnt sound anything new, but then I got interested and heard it a couple of times later on, thought it was just about ok. Recently, I saw the song on MTV Video Awards and was just outright blown away by the song. It was the simple bass guitar in the background, but I heard it the first time. And the whole of today I was pretty much listening to this song. If you have an ipod and a Bose Sound system, then you shouldnt be missing this song ... at high volume!

Thanka Thingal

Song : Thanka Thingal
Movie Name : Indraprastham (2002)
Singer : Sreekumar M G and K S Chitra
Music Director : Vidya Sagar

Vidyasagar is one of my favourite music directors among the current generation. I think his "flaw" is that he is a bit too much melody oriented, while people would like more "zing" in songs. The fan of melody that I am, Vidyasagar is no big surprise. I saw this song on cable a long time ago, on the top 10 songs of Malayalam, and was (then) surprised at how there were such good songs in Malayalam. This song is really beautiful, extremely well sung by Chitra (I dont have too many nice things to say about Sreekumar though). Vidayasagar is at his usual melodious best. The first interlude has a hindustani sounding alaap, which reminds me of "Poo Vaasam" from Anbe Sivam (another awesome meoldy from Vidyasagar, which is sure to figure on my list, should I keep at updating my blog often) :)
