Where I find my music

When trying to make a playlist of the Indian rock sorts, one needs dedication and well.. painstaking patience... but eventually the warmth and awesomeness of listening to some good music makes it all better.

Places that are essential to the Indian rock follower are as goes...

www.myspace.com - This is where you will find 75% of your music... at any point in time, there are about 4-5 myspace tabs open on my browser... at the moment, the essentials are Sidd Coutto, Junkyard Groove, Thermal and a Quarter, Rainbow Bridge, Zero and a few randoms from here and there...

www.youtube.com - This is my next stop... if you like acoustic music, you will find a lot of songs just posted for fun by the bands that are worth listening. Obviously, youtube is where you will find music videos for your songs, band profiles, and also snippets of talent shows (for those of us who dont get MTV, [V] India), that might hint at some good bands.....

last.fm - This is a FANTASTIC site for some random music surfing and quick playlists... It sometimes gives you the opportunity to download some free mp3s... so thats always a bonus... It also mixes up bands, so you will find yourself discovering a bunch of good bands just by searching for one... HERE is a link to spark your surfing....

Myband - This is a cool site if you are feeling adventurous and want to manually delve into bands that are trying to make it. However, I have found that one needs to get through much junk before you can find anything good.

Gimmesound - This is an awesome site that does something pretty amazing. It gives bands the opportunity to get their music out and get paid for every time someone downloads their music. Oh and did I mention the downloads are free? *:O!!!!!*
With some effort, you will probably be able to find some good bands and add their songs to your music album. HERE is a god starting point.

Lastly, anything that happens in the industry will guaranteed to be covered by these two sites... so keep them in your favourites/blogroll.

Gowri

This is the post in which I apologize to my three readers for not updating... I'm sorry...

Anyway, I've got a bunch of exciting updates lined up, so I should be consistent with post for the next few weeks...



This post is about a girl named Gowri. Well she is probably a woman... but whatever... She has a band that consists of her and her guitar. She has won a bunch of awards and all of that...
and she makes good music :D
(and she also likes Led Zeppelin... so I'm kinda biast)
With cool chilled out acoustic sounds, and simple vocals with amiable lyrics, Gowri is an awesome listen when lolling about, or even if you want a break from your rock playlist.

She probably has an album out but as all Indian bands, you would probably have to go to a certain music store in Mumbai to aquire it.

Her Myspace (yes that is a hyperlink... I am awesome) page has four cool songs. I like all of em :)

I also found this video (oh no he di'n) of her on the Tube. The song is called Tea
(i cant post it here because she has disabled the embed feature... strange... i still like her but =) )
