Finally! Arbovirus has released their first album. They have been playing their hearts out at underground concerts and have shown a lot of promise in the recordings for the compilations Agontuk (2 and 3 i think) and Lokayot. so this has been quite a wait, and i unfortunately have to wait some more, till someone is coming from BDesh to sweden to...

RE: People

I made a post earlier under a gray sky with missiles flying to and fro, called "People". Then I realized, it was nothing but the paraphrase of "People are People" by A Perfect Circle (originally by Depeche Mode) which I listened to a lot some time ago.It goes like this: We're different colors, And different creeds, And different people, Have different needs, It's obvious you hate me, Though I've done nothing wrong, I've never even met you, What could I have done? You're punching and kicking, And you're shouting at me, I'm relying on your common...

Re-enter Black!

I saw a long time ago, that Black had taken an initiative to make a website, which they put under www.enterblack.com. Well, to my surprise however, I also found out they finally did put up a website, and now its re-enterblack.comWell, unlike the first time, they did pretty much put up a lot of content, and I especially appreciated the music videos! Pretty good.I found them on myspace too! Its actually better to check the videos online there. Plus you can stream four of their tracks from it too. And if you use myspace too... you can try and be their...

People

Solar System - Planets - Earth - LifePeople. We live on one planet. We might as well live on different planets.We have made borders to call our own. Our levels of tolerance is low.Add on top of that we do have similar physical features according to where our borders stand. Then we have different creeds, different ideologies, different pasts. Differend ideas of a future.In light of the latest skirmishes on the planet we should all realize this. As long as our borders are not treaded on by aliens, we are fine. The lives within a border are valuable...

Auguries of Innocence

No. I am not writing about poetry. I am here to share a photograph. In fact, I first looked up William Blake after I saw this photo. Some of the lines conjured deja vu.And this little excerpt from the exceptionally long poem appears at the bottom of the picture:Every night and every mornSome to misery are born.Every morn and every nightSome are born...

Conceptual Photos on Flickr.com

I don't anymore)I quickly shifted my dreams to becoming a rockstar.But being a bangladeshi you always have your parents drum in dreams of becoming a doctor, an engineer or a successful businessman all the time into you. Being a rockstar wasn't an option....

Cover Song: One

MTV is a blast. They keep playing music i dont want to watch (or videos i dont want to listen to). One of them is Mry J Blige's cover of U2's One, featuring U2. One thing is for sure, that this has made me see the contribution that Bono makes to this song.Speaking of U2, I just watched a documentary on the making of Joshua Tree. That was one good album. They don't do it so well anymore. They had the most amount of trouble, apparently, recording 'Where the streets have no name', which happens to be the first music video I saw on MTV ever!PS. The...

Reminisce. A Cheap Thrill
