So far so good...this is shirley..and I will contribute my two cents...I have
what some would say a diverse musical taste..but I lean towards avantgard new
music...that is strange and kinda frightening..in some ways...I beleive that
to undestand the true nature of music one must be able to appriciate all
differant aspects of the music scene..whether new or old..and have an open
mind...I am working on intigrating dital music scores that are independanly
mixed with digital imagery of the like...to create a virtual art form with
my own flavor of art..

conversation but we hope you'll check back every couple of days.

Indian movie industry often known as Bollywood, is the biggest movie industry
in the world, I reckon. Ofcourse this is only in the number of movies produced
and the number of people associated with this industry ( artists and
technicians ). Southern India has the lion's share in the total number of
films produced.
As for the quality of the movies, I can say that more than 75% of the movies
are slick flicks. They churn out the same kinda movie again and again until
its rotten. Very few movies have risen above this and actually made it to the
international scene. As Mcnally mentioned, Bandit Queen is one such movie.
Infact it was even nominated in the best foreign film categoryof Oscars.
Talkin about the histrionics, there are very few artists who can match the
international standards. Artists like Shabana Azmi, Amrish Puri, Ompuri, Kamal
Hassan and directors like Satyajit Ray ( He was awarded a special Oscar award
for his contribution to Indian Cinema) Meera Nair ( the one who made a film
on the Indian epic, Kaama Sutra ), Deepa Mehta have made substantial
contribution to the Indian Cinema.
The main problem in Bollywood is the technology. We are very slow in
catching up with the Movie Techolongy of the outside world. It is no
exaggeration if I say that Bollywood lags behind Hollywood by 15 years
in terms of technology.

hey lumen, good to see you around again !
I understand that many of the big league movies do make it to the
theatres in some cities. I have many colleagues who are positioned
at our client location ( NASDAQ ) in Rockville, Maryland. They get
to see all the latest movies in the town theatres. Sometimes earlier
than us. Ofcourse they will not be shown in the theatres on a regular
basis. It will be like one or two shows on weekends.
I guess the main problem would be the language. All indian movies are
made in the Indian national language, Hindi. The movies can be released
in Hindi in the places where you have substantial number of Indians.
In other places where there is not enough Indian population they cant
afford to feature these films in theatres, unless someone provides the
movies with English subtitles.
But step into any asian video store, you will have a wide range of the
Indian movie videos to pick from. ( without english sub-titles though )

it's a cross to bear...
how do you keep a banjo player from
drowning in 2 inches of water?
take your foot off of his neck.

I'll just tickle this item so it pops up and reminds folks who have
started reading the conference in the last six weeks or so
to tell us a little bit about themselves.

Oh heck -- I just got a mix tape with some Thelonius Monk on it. Now I
may have to adjust my scale to include him. :-) But mostly I like
British folk/rock groups, along with Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and
Galician stuff. (And can't forget that Canadian connection, either!)
My current raves are Old Blind Dogs, Gabriel Yacoub, The Albion Band
(with Cathy LeSurf, sorry Ken, but that's the version that rings my
chimes...), Trip Shakespeare, Oysterband, Great Big Sea, Captain
Tractor, Archie Fisher, Garnet Rogers, Dougie MacLean, and James
Keelaghan. Mostly. Right now.

Hey...
I'm Ann and I listening to a lot of different music..., some of my faves are
Cocteau Twins, Covanent, Pop Will Eat Itself, Lorenna McKinnet, Switchblade
Symphony, Seal, Delerium, and Dead Can Dance. Hmmm...lets see, I am the
singer and keyboardist for Nightside Eclipse, a Ann Arbor based
gothic/industrial band. I have been playing the piano since I was 4 and I
played the cello for 8 years also. Music is a HUGE part of my life you could
say.., so that is why I am here! =)

I`ve heard that name (Nightside Eclipse) or something similar to it
recently. Who else is in your band? A Mo or a Mark, maybe?

Hi. I'm Mike. I've been on this conference before, but it's been a looong
time, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself.
I listen to Sarah McLachlan, Kate Bush, Zappa, Dead Can Dance, Nine Inch
Nails, Enya, Altan, The Orb, Celtic music, Industrial, Ambient, Techno, female
singer/songwriters, and many other kinds of music.
I used to play the coronet, but it's been years since the last time I've playe
it.
My favorite local band (after hearing them play last Saturday) is Poignant
Plecostamos. (Did I finally spell it right?)
