If your playlist contains over one hundred songs and Winamp's shuffle morph rate is set to "fast", tracks are played in the most whackiest order ever. Merke Merke- Kanda Naal Mudhal is followed by
Korn- La petit mort and then Halloween- Dave Matthews Band.


Five minutes seven seconds later, the track playing now is Space Dog by Tori Amos.
Now this song must rank very highly among the quirkiest Tori songs ever. The song has haunting vocals and piano that seamlessly switch between different moods.
But what is she singing about? I don't know. Its upto so many different interpretations. Tori says in an interview that the song is about her deity, the Space Dog(!) who comes to visit her sometimes. Others say the whole thing is about a mushroom trip. Halfway through the song, she herself doesn't know, "seems i keep getting this story twisted so where's Neil when you need him" she sings. She's referring to fantasy writer Neil Gaiman whom she's close friends with. Tori, incidentally is also contributing to Neil's album titled "Where's Neil when you need him" which is a tribute to his work. She's one of the 17 artists, who've written songs about Gaiman's stories, characters or setting for this compilation. No, he doesn't sing but his writing and artwork will be on the 20 page CD booklet. The CD is expected to release on July 18,2006. Neil Gaiman fans can preorder the CD here.


And next on the playlist there's Elvis singing you were always on my mind..

I like Winamp's shuffle mode.

Hello. I'm still around.
I've not disappeared off the face of the earth, yet.
Contrary to what many think, its my job thats been taking up most of my time and not my new "friend".

Anyway, I think I'm in love and all that. So I'm going to try my hand at poetry now.

You caught me
sneaking glances
at you while you licked your finger tips.
Will I see you here sometime
two tables away on a warm sunday afternoon?
For if I had the chance to do it again
I wouldn't pass it by.

Tamil Nadu elections 2006. All parties are offering goodies galore .. Color TVs, Acres of land, Computers, Rice etc.. all up for grabs. Please vote wisely. However, I will eat my hat if DMK comes to power and offers free Color TVs to everyone.


Give this girl a break!
Seriously, give her a break in TV or Movies or something. She may not be able to write but thats no excuse to turn down a career in showbiz.


Mission: Impossible III might actually be good. Why? J.J. Abrams, the genius behind the TV series LOST is the director. Philip Seymour Hoffman(Capote) is the villain. Maybe I'll quit being a snob and watch it when it does come out here.
