Ah, summer

Its finally here. Well, barring the freak showers that NY had today - remnants of the horrific weather pattern that the Central US has been rammed with. So much to do, so little time.

Here are a few interesting recent developments that have been occupying significant bytes of mindspace:

  • Snoop Dogg has recorded a song for a Bollywood movie. Yes, it is true. No, I am not kidding. Snoop Dogg and RDB have collaborated for a hip/hop track for Akshay Kumar's Singh is Kingg. We are a few steps closer to Desi Girls Gone Wild, and X-rated Spring Breaks in Pondicherry, aren't we?
  • Shah Rukh announces his Temptations Reloaded Tour to go head-on-head with Bachchan's Unforgettable. They are officially bringing their battle onto the streets. Not only is this going to be horrid for the event market, but gang wars have historically resulted in both parties getting hurt. How infantile.
  • Signature came in runner-up on Britain's Got Talent. Second to George Sampson. If you're bummed, watch this kid do the Fred Astaire "Singing In The Rain" breakdance performance, you'll know why.
  • And from Torrey Pines, the Crouching Putter, Tiger Woods cracks the US Open on a bad knee. In Robin Williams' words - Black athletic ability and Buddhist concentration. The man is legend.
  • Music of Love Story 2050 has been sampled. Anu Malik needs to attend Arranging 101 again, and a Bollywood Bootcamp on "Music in the new Millennium". Review's here.
