Devendra Banhart

Devendra Banhart's picture from here.

I really like Devendra Banhart's Baby. The style is somewhat iron-and-wine-esque and perfect for a Saturday indoors. (Check out Angelika too).

Tharoor on Vegetarianism

ShashiTharoor: I explain my vegetarianism by saying i don't want to bite into anything that in its natural living state would have bitten me back.

Pomplamoose

While looking for Mr. Sandman, which appears very briefly in one of my all time favourite movies Grease 2), I stumbled upon the talented Pomplamoose (no, not Pamplemousses). This one-woman-one-man band is absolutely delightful. Click on the video below for my favourite: Mr. Sandman! Wow!

Also, see what they do with The Sound of Music, La Vie en Rose and finally, (I can't stand the original version but I love what they've done with) Single Ladies (Haha! Listen closely at 2:03).

• Remember this? More at PomplamooseMusic.
• Apparently, Mr. Sandman is very popular (0-99).
• The soundtrack for Prema Loka (one of Juhi's early films; a Kannada mega-hit) is loosely based on the Grease 2 OST.
• Yes, I do like Grease 2 better than Grease (blech!). There, I've said it!

A-ha! A-Capella!

• Absolutely my favourite 80s number of all time. A-capella!
• Original 'Take On Me' video here.
• Anoop Desai (of American Idol fame and) of theUNC Clef Hangers sings 'Angel of Mine' A-capella.
• If you like the A-capella group in Scrubs, you can buy their CD 'Riding the Wave' here.
• Perpetuum Jazzile performs Toto's Africa.

An amazing set of pictures, this. The one on the right is my favourite. The photographer deserves his award for capturing these adorable expressions. Priceless! Danke, DJ.

Before I go, here's some doggie trivia:
a) The Chow Chow has a purple tongue! and
b) The Basenji is a barkless dog!
