Maggot Brain - Eddie Hazel (Funkadelic)



According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead. The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans.

This guitar solo will blow your mind and give you goose bumps and if it doesn't then seriously there is something wrong with you. This is one of the best solo I every heard. The last time I heard it was back in school and forgot all about it until recently when I was watching "House". So enjoy!!!

Eddie Vedder - Society (Into the Wild)



Oh, it's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

When you want more than you have
You think you need...
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Because when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

There's those thinking, more-or-less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make, your level drops
Kinda like you're starting from the top
You can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

Society, have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry if I disagree...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

Lucky Ali – Tu Kaun Hai

Kahan se tu aati hai: Where do you come from?
Kahan ko tu jaati hai: Where do you go?
Sapnon ko sajati hai: While adorning dreams,
Apnon ko ley jaati hai: While taking along closed ones.
Baaghon mein jab behti hai: When you flow through the gardens,
Kaanon mein kuch kehti hai: You whisper something in the ears,
Aati hai nazar nahin: You stay invisible
Saanson mein par rehti hai: But I feel you with my every breath
Hawaa hai pawan hai: Are you air, or the breeze
Vayu hai, purvaaee hai: Or the gusts, or the easterly winds?
Jeevan hai, jaan hai, ya parchaayee hai: Are you existence, life, or just a shadow?
Lene aayi hai ya kuch mere liye laayi hai: Are you seeking something, or do you have something for me?
Poochoonga mein kya tujhse: May I ask you
Kahan se tu aayi hai: Where you come from?
Tu kaun hai, tu kaun hai: Who are you? who are you?
Tu jab chalti chalti badal: So you move, so do the clouds
Jhuk jati toh girtey patte: And when you stop, the leaves ruffle down
Tu kehti to diye jalte: When you speak, lamps lit up,
Phoolon ke dil dil se milte: And hearts of flowers meet with hearts
Sagar ki lahron mein lehraati hai tu kal kal: You sway with the waves of the sea
Pattiyon ke paayalon mein lati khan khan: And bring the timbre to bristling leaves
Khat Khat koi nahin aisa ek jhonka hai: Those gusts which knock as if there was somebody
Kuch hai, such hai, ya tu ek dhoka hai: Something, truth, or you just a bluff
Tu kaun hai, tu kaun hai: Who are you? who are you?
Kahan se tu aati hai: Where do you come from?
Kahan ko tu jaati hai: Where do you go?
Sapnon ko sajati hai: While adorning dreams,
Apnon ko ley jaati hai: While taking along closed ones.
Baaghon mein jab behti hai: When you flow through the gardens,
Kaanon mein kuch kehti hai: You whisper something in the ears,
Aati hai nazar nahin: You stay invisible
Saanson mein par rehti hai: But I feel you with my every breath
Tu kaun hai, tu kaun hai: Who are you? who are you?

Marshall Bruce Mathers III

Started listening to Eminem after like 6 years. Still loving it, the old albums.

"They say music can alter moods and talk to you...
Well can it load a gun up for you , and cock it too...
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude...
Just tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get sued..."

Augmented Reality

So one of my colleague (Sazzad Rafique) was sharing his experience of Augmented Reality at the Lego store in New York city called "Lego Digital Box". Basically when you place a box of Lego in front of the camera it reads the barcode on the box and displays three dimensional model of what can be made from that box of blocks on the screen.

So this made me think of an idea. I'm sure someone somewhere already thought of this but it would be really cool if there was something like "Lego Digital Box" for clothing stores. You go to a shop pick up couple of khakis and t-shirts. Stand in front of the camera that scans your body and the barcodes on the khakis and t-shirts. VoilĂ ! the screen will display a three dimensional model of you wearing those clothes. This will help you judge how the clothes looks on you, if it fits perfectly or not, stop skin and other diseases by wearing the same clothes worn by others, help people who have hyper-concern over personal hygiene & germs and my personal favorite no more trialing for clothes, I'm super lazy :)

This will also help cut down the workforce, as the clothes doesn't need to be folded and stacked on the shelves over and over, thus saving money...
