A digg like site for Indian music

By Toxic}{ermit 3 Comments

Categories: Internet and Music

I look in my shoutbox and I see a link to a site. Usually I have got this knee jerk reaction to delete it but in the few seconds it took me to navigate to the manage page I decided maybe it wasn’t spam.

A little clicking later I like what I see. A site that looks like a community driven site for Indian music. Nice idea! I wonder why I haven’t come across those types of sites before.

Anyway, here’s the site I’m talking about: Musicballroom. If you’re the weird type, you can ignore that link and click on the one that’s in the shoutbox. Check out the international section (their main site) too, it’s quite something.

Comment if you know any other sites like this.

Download Quality Music

By Toxic}{ermit 0 Comments

Categories: Internet and Music

With music services increasingly turning to DRM infested music files to squeeze every buck out of the customer, it comes as sweet surprise that a few sites out there do actually provide DRM free music at affordable prices. One such find is MusicMP3.ru which sells songs from about 4 to 15 cents depending on the length of the track. That’s quite an affordable price considering I’ve seen some sites charging close to a dollar for each song. And no, it’s not illegal, their faq page clarifies that they do in fact pay the licensing fees.

The Album Reviews give you a lot of background info which you probably won’t need but try out their sampler which you can use to hear a song before you buy it. I’ve bought a song from them and I’ve just played it on my computer and on my Discman. No DRM at all. Nice.

In case you’re one of those heavy downloaders you can try out their affiliate program where they will pay you for linking to them. The extra dough can be used to buy more music. An incredibly simple interface adds to the ease of use of the whole site. Check out their Music News section for an idea of what I’m talking about. Ignore the occasional grammar mistake since it’s a Russian site.

I’ve been finding it difficult to fund my account though. Presently, they don’t accept credit cards or PayPal. That leaves me with E-Gold which I have just exhausted. I’ve got to see if I’ve can fund my account off their affiliate program.

LBG

Categories: Music

Little Babooshka’s Grind is a Chennai based band that has some awesome music to its name. If you’ve come here before chances are that I’ve told you all about them. Why? For once an Indian band had the sense to get a decently designed site. TAAQ’s got a decent blog though their site looks rather haphazard.

LBG’s got this rather nifty flash music player. The last time I saw they had about four songs listed from each album that you could listen to. Now you can listen to all the songs from both their albums. Nice huh?

Someone try out their ‘Buy Now‘ link and tell me if they support Cash On Delivery. Their form freaks me out. Too little info besides the text boxes. I don’t like those.

Radioverve - Revamped!

By Toxic}{ermit 7 Comments

Categories: Internet and Music

I’ve blogged about Radioverve before (here), while their site was not much to talk about before they’ve gone ahead and revamped the thing into a total kickass wordpress based website. Their integration of flash and AJAX with the wordpress theme is mind blowing. I really like their flash player and its intuitive interface. It all fits in quite well with their site. They’ve got loads of new content and they’ve split it up into different channels - Rock, Metal, Gospel, Jazz, Classical, Konkani, folk (yet to come) and their usual mishmash of everything. I find that especially convenient when I’m not quite into a song on one channel I just switch channels to something more interesting.

They’ve still got a few rough edges but none serious enough to spoil the experience. They’ve got a program schedule but in its present form I can’t see how its of any use. I’m not even sure if the program schedule is correct. Their rock channel schedule states that the LBG show should be playing at 10:30 pm but its 10:48 PM now and ‘Medicis - My World’ is playing (awesome song that. Gotta buy their album.) Also, it sounds like their promos have gone from bad to worse. It sounds like bloopers that they’ve taped and stuck in between songs, maybe its supposed to be funny but the humour completely escapes me. It gets pretty annoying after a while. I actually liked the Demon stealer records advertisement (a metal compilation of hardcore, metalcore and nu-metal - That guy had an awesome voice) better than the radioverve promos. Talking about promos, radioverve now has a badge that you can use.

Radioverve Badge With Text

Radioverve Large Badge

And finally the one I think I’ll use -

That large badge looks like its been badly cropped. Anyone willing to do the honours?

All in all its a good step forward and I’m sure everyone will appreciate the new content on radioverve. A few creative promos and a little tweaking with the site and they’re made.

List of Indian Rock Music

By Toxic}{ermit 99 Comments

Categories: Indian Rock and Music

A list of all the songs I’ve downloaded over these past few days and those that I’ve had earlier. I’ll try listing the sources if I remember them. No point in making people search like mad to find these songs.

Edit: I get quite a bit of traffic from Orkut and after reading a few messages I thought I’d clarify something. All links to music on this post are legal. They aren’t ripped versions or pirated copies. Bands wilfully offer their songs for free download to publicise their work; so you can listen to what they sound like. Bands are not losing out on revenue when you download these songs. I encourage you to buy their albums if you like their songs. Spread the word, pass on this music to others, help bands get more exposure.

If anyone has the time go to RSJ Online and try finding some songs. I’ve had enough of their bleddy interface.

I was going to make a torrent out these songs. I’ll wait until I can find a few more songs. The present list contains a small fraction of the number of bands out there. If you’ve got any more songs, comment and I’ll add them to the list. If you find sources for any of the band’s songs then do tell me.

Repeating what I’ve mentioned at the top of the post, if you like the songs I suggest you buy the album. Most albums I’ve seen are rather reasonably priced, maybe the cost of a ticket to a rock show. You’ll find albums listed on musicyogi that are worth buying. They happen to be Internet Explorer junkies but I guess bad habits are hard to lose. If only those guys had more payment options I’d buy a whole bunch of albums.

If there are any broken links point them out in the comments section.

Stats: 184 songs listed. 174 songs with a download link, 10 without.

Indian Rock Music

By Toxic}{ermit 0 Comments

Categories: Music and Musings

I’ve been on a collecting spree over the last two weeks searching for anything Indian, Rock and in English. Before that I never realised the quality of rock music in India. My previous encounters with Indian rock music was at IIT Saarang and the Unwind Center. I remember spending 100 bucks every week (or 75 bucks if you get the early bird tickets) to get my ears deafened at the Unwind Center every Friday. Except for this year, I’ve religiously gone to previous IIT Saarang rock shows. I’ve missed countless other shows that I’ve always meant to go to but just haven’t. I hate my college timings.

A good source of Indian rock music is RSJ Online. They’ve got decent content but while their present interface isn’t as retarded as before its still a pain finding songs for each band. Musictantra has a decent compilation of YouTube music videos of Indian Rock bands. One of the websites mentioned on RadioVeRVe is Green Ozone where you can download the Awake and Arise album. This particular album has pretty high rotation on RadioVeRVe.

An awesome source of info about Indian Bands and their albums is Gigpad. They’ve got useful content, nice reviews of albums and a functional interface. And unlike RSJ or Unwind Center, Gigpad actually does update their site. Their gigs list actually has information thats upto date. The Unwind Center website is offering tickets for gigs that were on June 2006! Thats nearly a bleddy year ago. I vaguely remember that they still claim the Unwind Center in Chennai is still in Nungambakkam.

Online Radio - Indian Rock

By Toxic}{ermit 9 Comments

Categories: Internet and Music

RadioVeRVe is this really great online radio for Indian Independent Rock music. I’ve been listening to them for a few days now. They’ve got a decent collection of songs and though their programs keep repeating I really don’t mind.

One of the RJ’s is pretty good and has something useful to say. I think the guy is from Phenom which is another great band. They’ve also got LBG on high rotation. Listen to them now. Here are the links to their streams:

Low quality - 32 kbps : http://play-lo.radioverve.com/

High quality - 64 kbps : http://play-hi.radioverve.com/

Ultra quality - 128 kbps : http://play-ultra.radioverve.com/

I can’t wait until they come out with their program schedule. I’d also appreciate a little less promos but I can learn to ignore them.
