Week 3 2009

I'm a few days late. Been very busy working on SWAT with my PFC peeps. Meanwhile my car brakes failed completely. It was like in movies. I was lucky not to have crashed into 3-4 cars. Finally got everything fixed. Only to have a flat tire just 2 hours back. Talk about Flat luck.
Anyways lets get to music.

This was the week when I discovered the Band 2 Bit Pie. Right now I'm totally in love with their songs.

1) Little Things - 2Bit Pie. Discovered through KCRW again.
2) Here I Come - 2 Bit Pie
3) I Feel Love - Donna Summer. I re-discovered this song of all the places while watching the Political Drama Frost/Nixon. I had always loved the Bollywood version of this song.
4) Gangsta Blues - AR Rahman, SlumDog Millionaire OST
5) Aaj Ki Raat - AR Rahman, Slumdog Millionaire OST

As you can tell. The world is going crazy about Slumdog Millionaire. Though I'm not that crazy about the second half of the film. Its amazing to see a film about India making everyone so crazy. The soundtrack is playing everywhere in LA. AR Rahman is weeks away from being the 1st Indian to Win the OSCARS. The cast has already won SAG Ensamble Award.

53 milion domestic and 73 million worldwide as of last sunday. Yesterday's gross was approx 750k. It's also #34 on imdb top 250 films and #1 on moviemeter.
