Music...Movies.. Cricket

Saw Lemon Jelly perform live, never thought 2 DJs and a guitar could do this to me. Coupled with fantastic animation projections.. Great concert.. Beautiful, just beautiful, like a million dollars. check out --> www.lemonjelly.ky

Oasis sold out in Brussels in 21 minutes. Someone managed to wangle tickets at 0730 in between the shaving and the tooth brushing, the shirt ironing and the hair gelling.

Looking forward to tick off on Alanis, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Keane, Green Day, REM, Athlete, Foo Fighters, Chemical Brothers, Thievery Corporation before this Belgian summer is over. --> www.rockwerchter.be

Saw Maria Full of Grace, don't know what I walked away with from the movie, it left me quite depressed for a while, besides the fact that I was really impressed that I understood every dialogue by reading the french subtitles.
Finally saw "Lost in Translation", I am amazed at how well the lack of dialogue has been handled in the movie, the awkward attraction between the characters and the final goodbye is brilliant, totally brilliant, love you Ms. Coppola, and of course now I am a big Scarlet Johannson fan. Another movie of her's to watch is "Ghost World" 5 Thumbs up on that. Saw Alfie, great soundtrack, great camera work, editing.. a lot of stuff I actually enjoyed about the movie, including Jude Law and his "player" ways, but at the end it didn't completely satisfy me, god knows what was missing...

The boys in blue did it again, well I guess earlier in the week it was 1 guy in a green uniform who did it to them, but today it was them and only them who were responsible for their fall from grace, or was that actually a fall from grace? They've been so happy in their mediocrity for ages as a fellow cricket fan very rightly pointed out, that there has to be some sort of big jostle up in the Indian cricketing fraternity starting from the policy and decision makers to the selectors to the players. A rethink of priorities and ideas on how team India, which on paper is probably the 2nd best side in the world, will somehow make it to the quarter finals of the world cup in 2007.
Atleast, today if we had a Vinod Kambli in the team he would have cried watching the goings on - on and off the field, and struck a chord with the millions of cricket lovers in India, or actually not, the Indian cricket fan has been turned into the truest of cynics all thanks to 11 guys who make millions to destroy the hopes and passion of the millions of people who support them. Well anyway the frustration that I feel following this game on a website can only be subsided by a good round of squash and pounding my Nepali friend to pulp. If the Pakistanis pound the Indians, then this Indian can surely pound a Nepali, after all, all is fair in love and war... and frustration...
Gosh I did get emotional and went off the handle there...

Till later.. Adios Amigos
