It's not that I do not enjoy the usual stuff, but that I am suitably impressed every time I encounter one of these 'cerebral' types, because they occur so rarely, knowmsayin'?<BR/><BR/>As for Angad, I'm bringing up a true ABCD (well, the Brit equivalent). He is subjected to all the Bollywood beats, although I have seen he prefers the more tuneful stuff, e.g. Jab We Met and Kal Ho Na Ho. When I put on the stuff I like, he protests quite vigorously.Fëanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101113676992105240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738516321598278692.post-62025185997639900562008-05-26T18:08:00.000+01:002008-05-26T18:08:00.000+01:00Feanor: I have learnt more about current Indian ci...Feanor: I have learnt more about current Indian cinema music since my friends' kids started going 'Doom Macha Le' (which is how they say Dhoom...) or 'Dil Chatha Hay' (same; yeh angrez bachche). <BR/><BR/>So does your son get to listen to all these catchy beats or does he have to contend with your choice in music? Just wondering. I even bought songs from Amazon after some kids insisted they were very cool.

Empty brains can hardly produce meaningful lyrics... A post titled 'Crepuscule with Nellie' is one of my more curiously popular posts, seeing as it was about lyrical erudition. :-)<BR/><BR/>Look up Divine Comedy, an Irish band. I like their lyrics. But then again, I mention Mark Knopfler in greater detail in that post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
