And the composition is so liberating.</p> <p>I think of all the movies i’ve watched in the last year, a.r.rahman’s work in 127 hours is my favorite, marginally ahead of trent reznor’s work in ‘The Social Network’.</p>http://ramantheb.com/post/5381256250http://ramantheb.com/post/5381256250Tue, 10 May 2011 23:07:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljvu0fUK4i1qa0uujo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Def.</p>http://ramantheb.com/post/5360274481http://ramantheb.com/post/5360274481Tue, 10 May 2011 09:40:03 -0400<iframe width="400" height="323" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DLQcknhApjM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Ivo Papazov and his Wedding Band (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLQcknhApjM">scmm42</a>)</p> <p> this is beyond anything i’ve ever heard.  The virtuosity of the musicians and the band as a whole is phenomenal.</p> <p>To quote the anchor who introduces this band “If ever i decide to get married and get a band to play at my wedding, it would be these guys”.</p>http://ramantheb.com/post/4997377974http://ramantheb.com/post/4997377974Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:56:00 -0400<a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Video-Tim-Lincecum-8217-s-windup-in-1-000-fram?urn=mlb-wp3050">Video: Tim Lincecum’s windup in 1,000 frames per second - Big League Stew - MLB Blog - Yahoo!
