I haven't posted here for a long time now, and no one else seems to have either :P
I finally get what off-beat means! I mean, I knew what it meant before, but now I finally understood what's so 'off-beat' about it.
Also, lots of Hindi songs (both old and new) have impressed me with their beat patterns. Rehman (or is it Rahman?) seems to have a lot of fun with his beats. Of course, lots of songs don't really use real drums. But whatever the instrument (tabla, weird sounds, etc.), there are many interesting things to look out for!
Oh, the nonsense I have to do when I don't have drums to play :P
New Music :
.1. Hip-hop is for the most part nonsense. The lyrics and the grunts are disgusting! But some songs, as usual, stand out. And the beats are what seem to give the USP to most songs. So that's good. Some good songs : Where did you go (don't know singer :P), Sergio Mendes and Black Peas (Don't know songname :P)....there's good music everywhere :D
.2. Gnarls Barkley - Crazy...Nice song with very unusual sound to it. Cool :)
.3. Sandi Thom - Wish I was a punk rocker : Very cool song! Nothing special about it in terms of music and all. But the lyrics are nice, and true too.
.4. RHCP - It's already been reviewed here, but I would like add my one paisa by saying "Tell Me Baby"'s a very nice song, but unusually ordinary-sounding for RHCP.
.5. Umm...That's it :P
Question for debate : Has the age of rock come to an end? Of course, hip-hop has taken over, but what I mean to say is, have good rock songs and bands that don't sound like something already done before stopped coming out? :(

well, you should listen to The Strokes :P I'm not saying they are entirely new or anything. But what you will understand is that it is still possible to have your own sound
.. and an other super cool band to check out is The Libertines (try and get hold of this video called "Boys in the Band").
PS: you will always have people who will say that the strokes are gay without even listening to them. and if you tell them this, they will say they heard a lot of strokes and then, after carefully analyzing the music they have come to the conclusion that they (the strokes/radiohead/whatever) are gay. i think thats very gay :D each unto his own !
gay ppl like gay music .. cant blame anyone for being gay ... as u said ... each unto his own ... gay ppl should also have some music that they can associate with .. hence bands like radiohead, coldplay and a new addition 'the strokes'.
touche my dear 'gay' friend ... touche
:D
the very fact that u put radiohead and coldplay in the same category shows your ignorance.. its like comparing meshuggah and rammstein. as some people say, ignorance is bliss.
putting meshuggah and radiohead on a same plane ... even if u were to jus show the difference between radiohead and coldplay .... not cool man ... lost respect dude .. lost respect
and radiohead, coldplay .. no diff .. everything is britpop and everything is gay.
as i repeat myself once again .. a bit loudly this time .. so that ppl can hear it and maybe understand it 'GAY MUSIC(SUCH AS RADIOHEAD, COLDPLAY and THE STROKES) IS FOR GAY PPL'
I have nothing against the bands or ppl who listen to them
its jus that its gay music .. thts all.
