Hamlet, Anu Malik and mixes

The evening started with Hamlet at Rangashankara. It wasn't your usual Shakespeare-English Hamlet. This one was a fusion of three traditions - Yakshagana, Dhrupad and Theatre. The concept was quite brilliant and I was quite impressed. Its on tomorrow evening at 7:30 too, so catch it if you haven't.

Back home I caught a little of the Filmfare 'Live' Awards. Why do they call it live when its surely not, its a deferred live telecast and even a moron would know that when you have adverts taking 15 min between sections. This is supposed to be the Indian version of the Oscars but the production and quality is a far cry. You can hear things in the background, audio feeds are not taken from indivual channels - they telecast the sound the audience hears! C'mon. Anyways, what entertained me was Javed taking Anu Malik's trip. He was hillarious. I can't explain - if you do get to see it, please don't miss it. If you were interested, Black swept the awards.

In the end I'll leave you with this blog (Pop77) - have kept going back there for mixes. You are never disappointed if you love music - old and new. Go there and download the latest mix. Very nice selection.
