Well said! That is what I was thinking too... now this award has some meaning...

:rotfl: Even thinking about it makes me laugh!
Here is an example of what IR will tweet:
"If you ask me to tweet, what will I tweet? Music is tweeting to me. My music is my tweet to you!"

Thanks for posting the write up. Great to read! This line in particular was interesting. Unfortunately, in recent times musicians have been doing the reverse.

Thansk for the photos and clips RS!! Awesome!


andha photo'la mattum avar mugathula oru thanee paasam! ;)

Listening to the audio samples, some of the crowd behavior was unfortunate. It is sad that some people treated this event like a college culturals program. True respect to a composer/performer is...

Thanks for the links, audio and video clips! I feel so bad for missing the event, but trying to relive through these links...

eagle, is the answer eagle? if it was you, then please upload the...

This is from the Ilaiyaraaja facebook page (which I think is maintained by Agilan, but not sure):

Hope someone in Chennai can check it out.

IR scoring for a Balki film is not exactly news!

and if the other films being referred to, are the already in the cans, SRK and Happi, then this is not news at all![/quote]
why so much tension?? ...

Wow, when it comes to belittling our own culture, Indians are the best! The belief system in the US is much worse than the Indian one - many people here are quite certain that the earth is only 6000...

Every line of this song is harmonized, but its not clear in the youtube clip. A little better here:

great post abt jaiganes "kodiyile malligapoo"
It is one of my most favorite IR songs. But even when suggested to IR fans who know abt fusion, they view it as too "south Indian" and "folksy". This is...

Dheemi dheemi from Shiva
great song, and "kaise kahoon" and "saara ye aalam" are also lovely. Somehow this album seems to have slipped under the radar very quickly

wow jaiganes, just saw ur post... coincidence that we chose songs from the same movie?

Love that song! I once had a playlist of similar songs including this one, that had a natural calming and pleasant effect, like taking a walk down some beautiful natural scenery. Can't recall all the...

I broadly agree with par on the analysis of right wing and left wing attitudes. My 2 cents.... :|[/quote]
eagle, I think you've scored a double bogey by agreeing with par! (thats how ridiculous the...

Bala, I'm also 78 born, and feel just the same :(
but discovering these songs fresh now is also a great feeling, one that only we can enjoy! :)
I've been bowled over by numerous "oldies" hearing...

'kottaya vittu' always reminds me of S Ve Shekher's "Periyathambi" - awesome comedy (audio) drama! SVS used lots of song bits in all his dramas, many from IR songs... very interesting game to spot...

what gross injustice!!! This song is a rustic beauty and the "maattu vandi" sound is the last thing to notice about it. Its a really sweet captivating song... in desh with traces of "jai jagdeesh...

"Oru koottil chinna kokilam irandu" from Kolangal
very different type of song

Are you sure? It has some these lovely songs:
Naanda Ungappandaa
Nadakatum Raja
Valibamey Vaa Vaa
Vizhiyil Un Vizhiyil

Apart from the IR'esque music and a song with "Raja" in it, "naanda...

agree with u Bala! songs back then were much more interesting in their orchestration... little known songs like "yeriyile elanthamaram" with the vocal harmonies and baroque flute bits, "yedho moham"...

LOL!! you don't need to credit MS for code you write urself using VC++, just like you don't have to credit Korg/Yamaha for composing tracks using their instruments. But if you reuse code snippets...

I think the "spiritual" aspect is a little overblown - I think IR says that his music "comes by itself, from within or above" only out of humility (or atleast the desire to appear humble).
IR...

don't forget, in "aattukutti muttai ittu" IR cleverly used donkey braying sound also. so the correct phrase is "karpooraththukku (IR'ku) theriyum kazhudhaiyin vaasanai" so who are we to judge him on...

what abt the "riaaaa riaaa" part in chandiranum suriyanum? just absolutely fabulous - that song captures the lofty dreams of a village guy perfect to a T!! No lack of effort or imagination there! My...
