hello! |
My name is Ramkumar Shankar and I love Sweden, my iPhone (but possibly considering the switch to Android), guitar, linux, open source, football, metal, and general geekery among other things...and in no particular order (except for Sweden at the top of the list). I also use some of that knowledge to pay my bills as a technology consultant. This is my tumblelog, where I post original content as well as some of the good stuff I find around the net. |
One creepy (but totally awesome) music video. I love the message, and everything it stands for.
The debate that keeps coming up every so often. Hopefully this settles it. Good entertaining read. And I agree: Megadeth > Metallica.
Motörhead - One Short Life
The complete list:
I am truly surprised by how saddened I am over the news of Michael Jackson’s death. Sure, my musical tastes have changed considerably with time, but Michael Jackson has always stayed in my collection over the years. RIP.
Yes, I’m still hooked on this album. And that’s probably because From Earth I Rose has some of most beautiful music I’ve heard in awhile.
Amorphis - “Course of Fate”
This track is from their new release Skyforger. If you have been following the band since Eclipse when Tomi Joutsen joined as their new vocalist, you won’t notice drastic changes to their sound. The maintains the same style that Eclipse ushered in. The band retains the strong guitar melodies, death growls and smooth keyboards but this time they manage to fit them in a ‘pop metal’ format. And that’s not to say that Amorphis have watered down their sound, but they have managed to blend mainstream elements into a heavy and melodic sound, resulting in an album that’s instantly appealing. The solo in this song is one example of that.
Check out more songs on their MySpace. And their official website is here.
Old article from the early 90’s about labels screwing over musicians. But still a good read. Written by Steve Albini, best known as the producer of Nirvana’s “In Utero”.
New Kamelot video. This time for “Love You To Death” (via kamelotofficial)
Nicely done guys! Looking forward to a new album now. :)
