Music??

The early morning bus journey to work is generally a quiet one. There’s hardly any traffic on the road and hence no noise. The passengers too are generally quiet with a few of them dozing off and most just enjoying the early morning weather. The radio in the bus is generally off or (if on) playing at a low volume. All in all, it is a pleasant journey, except on certain days. Today was one such day.

For some unknown reason, the driver decided to play a cassette instead of the regular radio or nothing today morning. The cassette seemed to one of those ‘All time greatest hits’ of a star performer of the current generation.

The Star:
Also known as ‘Kkhajooor’ among certain circles has a style of his own. Firstly he looks like a boar, which inexplicably ran into a tree while running at top speed. As if to add to it, he wears a ridiculous cap for all occasions and for god knows what, doesn’t shave (cost cutting probably). He talks absolute rubbish every time he’s allowed to talk (most people go crazy with a mike in front of them, so that’s forgivable). He somehow has a bad dressing sense (if any) as well.
Anyways, he’s a music man and hence isn’t expected to look good (though he appears in all his videos anyways), so let’s get to his music. Everybody seems to know about his nasal vocals and how much they leave to be desired. My personal opinion is that he’s among the worst singers to have hit the country (if you get the feeling that singers of nowadays are like thunderstorms, it’s intentional). A friend once dared me to sing like him instead of commenting, well I can’t sing like him, I can’t sing like a crow either, but that doesn’t mean a crow is melodious does it?
Pran’s Comments: His singing is perfectly very bad. You can’t but sympathize with the girl who rebuffs him in one of his videos.

Now his music: He seems to have hired a woodcutter to play drums. That guy thrashes out at the drums at irregular intervals and makes you nostalgic. You remember the days when such music wasn’t around and begin to feel suddenly old. Absolutely no guitaring, but a guitar features with him in his videos. Some odd DJ scratch effects, I couldn’t comment on this because I don’t know the good from the bad when it comes to scratch effects. I don’t even know if a good scratch effect does exist.
Most of the tracks seem to be Sufi or Indian classical fused with boy band style music with increased pace. The tunes are ordinary to start off and bad with the increased pace.

He’s supposed to generally compose music for movies starring a
1) Shirtless wonder + buck killer + roadrunner + stalker + a bald jail inmate (current status) and a
2) Certified serial kisser + truck driver.
Guess that explains a lot.

Guys, please watch RDB, get inspired, watch a news report and kill him accusing him of having bird flue. This would definitely be social service (Better than killing ministers and chicken for sure).

Sunil adds: The killing would be an incredible contribution to music.Sunil adds further: At least send him to Congo where he can live with the apes. They’ll accept him as one of their own as he looks, dresses, sings and acts like one of them.
